Impedance-PH Recorder System

OHMEGA OVERVIEW Ambulatory Impedance-pH Recorder

Ohmega is a small, lightweight ambulatory system that combines Impedance recording and pH recording. As a result, the Ohmega detects reflux activity using Impedance and categorizes these reflux episodes as acidic or non-acidic (weakly acidic), using traditional pH measurement. Gas and mixed liquid/gas reflux episodes are analyzed as well.

The built-in Virtual Instructor Program™ helps you successfully complete the procedure with minimal training. Bluetooth® capabilities make it possible to view and check data on a computer monitor while recording. The intelligent symptom analysis software quantifies reflux episodes quickly and simply.

Seamless Built-In Virtual Instructor Program™ (VIP):

• Comprehensive and user-friendly, it guides you through each reflux measurement procedure.
• Requires minimal training, saving time and money while allowing more focus on the patient.
• Successfully complete esophageal reflux measurement in 6 steps.

Highly-Intuitive Built-in Software:

• Intelligent symptom analysis software quantifies reflux episodes quickly and provides information about the correlation between symptoms and events.
• Impedance Contour Plot for fast and easy analysis.

State-of-the-Art Features and Functionality:

• Online view of data recording with Bluetooth® technology.
• High-quality signal recording can be verified before the patient leaves the clinic.

Diagnose Patients on PPI Therapy:

• Impedance-pH detects both acidic and non-acidic reflux episodes.
• Combined Impedance-pH recording is clinically useful in the evaluation of symptoms under PPI therapy, as well as hoarseness, unexplained cough and applications of particular interest.

Impedance-pH Reflux Measurement to Diagnose GERD What is Impedance?

 Impedance measurement can be used to detect GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) and distinguish acid and weakly acidic refluxes causing symptoms.

 Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is caused by the reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus. Typical patient symptoms are heartburn, regurgitation, and chest pain. These patient groups are often on PPI medication, but non-acidic reflux can still cause symptoms.

 Traditional pH recording only records acidic pH reflux episodes. Impedance-pH detects both acidic and non-acidic reflux episodes.

 Combined Impedance-pH recording is clinically useful in the evaluation of symptoms under PPI therapy, as well as for hoarseness, unexplained cough, and applications of particular interest.
