Gastroesophageal pH meter ZALT

hand-held

Deals with resistance! Although ZALT offers plenty of power, it is a very handy system that gives the examiner the possibility to choose between a pH monitoring or a combined impedance-pH monitoring. On top oft he common pH monitoring the sixup to seven additional impedance channels allows the identification of reflux episodes with also non-acidic content. During the 24-hour recording, the patient can easily enter important events or phases via the innovative front design, an additional diary does not need to be conducted. ZALT is compatible with a variety of different catheters types and thus covers a wide range of applications. Impedance/pH-Metry Reflux is not always acidic! In the esophageal impedance measurement, a transnasal probe is inserted to measure the electric conductivity of the esophagus contents together with a standard pH-measurement. Content flowing back from the stomach into the esophagus - whether acidic, non-acidic, liquid or gas - is measured. The physical principle: Liquids or food, change the electrical resistance in the esophagus. The direction of the bolus can thus be determined by the arrangement of several sensors at different levels - a considerable advantage over the conventional pH metry. ph-Metry Acidity is important! The pH metry is a classically-proven method in the field of functional diagnostics. By means of a transnasal pH catheter, the acidity of the esophagus is recorded over 24 hours. Even for children, as the number of catheter possibilities are large. Automatically calculated results (eg DeMeester Score) leads to fast and safe diagnoses. "ZALT" provides a simple and reliable way to record pH changes in the esophagus.
