ZepHrTM
Total Reflux Monitoring – precise assessment of acid and nonacid reflux for superior diagnosis and effective therapies.
The new ZepHrTM impedance/pH recorder is about one third the size and weight of previous generations but still incorporates all of the same outstanding characteristics that have made this the leading reflux recorder in the world. The ZepHrTM system employs impedance to detect reflux activity and uses pH to categorize each episode as acid or nonacid and provides a correlation between reflux and symptoms.
Indications for combined impedance / pH testing
- Persistent symptoms while on acid suppressive therapy
- Primarily postprandial symptoms
- Reflux symptoms and frequent meal ingestion (i.e., infant)
- Apnea, oxygen desaturations, bradycardia, or seizure symptoms
Clinical trials have established that nonacid reflux can be associated with GERD symptoms. In addition, ZepHrTM provides a true negative study by identifying patients with no reflux association. Impedance is a measure that Sandhill Scientific uniquely applies to produce the most accurate, most powerful, data-rich assessment enabling you to differentiate patient diseases presenting with similar esophageal symptoms.
