Restech

Restech Airway pH Measurement System

The Restech Probe’s miniaturized, patented sensor is housed in the tear-drop shaped tip at the distal end of a thin trans-nasal catheter.

An LED blinks during placement, allowing clinicians to confirm the proper placement in the oropharynx.

The measurements taken by the pH sensor are sent wirelessly to a recording device which the patient carries throughout the study period.

Upon completion of the 24 hour study , the patient returns, the data are downloaded and presented graphically for analysis using Restech’s DataView software
