Bravo™ is used as part of the complete assessment of GERD.1
There are many recent advances in the diagnosis and management of GERD. Prolonged wireless pH monitoring has value on clinical reflux monitoring to enable the assessment of predominant exposure patterns and aid in the diagnosis of GERD.1
Bravo™ calibration-free reflux capsule
Use the Bravo™ calibration-free reflux testing system for gastroesophageal pH measurement and monitoring of gastric reflux. The capsule can be attached following either endoscopy or manometry and doesn't require pH calibration.
Bravo™ reflux recorder
The patient wears the recorder for up to 96 hours while the capsule is detecting reflux events, to record reflux data and patient activity.
Reflux software v6.1
Our reflux software supports the upload and analysis of pH and pH-impedance data collected from the Bravo™ reflux recorder and the Digitrapper™ reflux recorder. The reflux software also allows for extended recording times up to 96 hours5 via the Bravo™ calibration-free reflux testing system.
