NIOX VERO® is a portable system for the non-invasive quantitative simple and safe measurement of Nitric Oxide (NO) in human breath (FeNO) and Nasal Nitric Oxide (nNO) in the aspirated air from the nasal cavity. For FeNO: Nitric Oxide is frequently increased in some inflammatory processes such as asthma and decreases in response to anti-inflammatory treatment. FeNO measurements should be used as part of a regular assessment and monitoring of patients with these conditions. NIOX VERO FeNO is suitable for patients age 7 and above. NIOX VERO FeNO can be operated with 2 different exhalation times, 10 seconds and 6 seconds. The 10 second mode is the preferred mode. For children who are not able to perform the 10 second test, the 6 second is an alternative. The 6 second test should be used in caution with patients over the age of 10. It should not be used in adult patients. Incorrect use of the 6 second exhalation test may result in falsely low FeNO values, which can lead to incorrect clinical decisions.
At NIOX® we are passionate about providing excellent support and training.
