NIOX VERO
Accurately assess airway inflammation with FeNO testing. Help improve asthma patient outcomes in one simple test, right at the point-of-care.
NIOX VERO® is non-invasive, simple-to-use, and provides rapid standardized FeNO measurements. It is a point-of-care device for assessing airway inflammation in patients with respiratory problems. With over 45 million NIOX® tests undertaken to date, the system is used by healthcare professionals around the world to help improve asthma care, assisting:
-
- diagnosis
- determining responsiveness to inhaled corticosteroids
- tailoring inhaled steroid use
- monitoring treatment compliance
- reducing the likelihood of exacerbations in at-risk patients compared to traditional monitoring
FeNO testing is now recommended for asthma care in guidelines across the globe.
You can use the NIOX VERO to determine the level of the established biomarker nitric oxide (NO) in exhaled air and thus monitor allergic airway inflammation in your patients.
Your patient breathes calmly into the handheld device through the disposable mouthpiece. After successful measurement, the result is available within approximately one minute. FeNO measurement is quick, easy, repeatable, and non-invasive for your patients.
FeNO is formed in the respiratory tract by inflammatory cells. The NO concentration in the exhaled air therefore reflects the degree of inflammation in the respiratory tract – the more inflammatory cells there are, the more NO is produced. The NO concentration in exhaled air is measured in parts per billion (ppb). According to the asthma guidelines, increased FeNO values indicate allergic inflammation and thus support the diagnosis of allergic asthma.1
