Product description
alpHaONE™ is a wireless capsule-based pH monitoring system for long-term measurement of oesophageal pH in patients with suspected gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The system enables continuous pH recording for up to 96 hours, supporting well-founded diagnostic decision-making.
The system consists of a wireless pH capsule, a portable data recorder and alpHaLAB software for data analysis. The pH capsule is positioned on the oesophageal wall using a delivery catheter and fixed by vacuum suction and integrated fixation clips. The measured pH values are transmitted via radiofrequency to the recorder, where the data are stored.
Thanks to calibration-free technology with a dry reference electrode, time-consuming preconditioning with buffer solutions is no longer required, saving up to 20 minutes per examination. Capsule activation is performed at the push of a button, significantly simplifying preparation. No catheter remains in the oesophagus throughout the measurement period, greatly improving patient comfort and allowing monitoring under everyday conditions.
Indications
alpHaONE™ is intended for investigation of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), including:
- Patients with typical reflux symptoms such as heartburn or acid regurgitation
- Patients with extra-oesophageal symptoms such as chronic pharyngitis, hoarseness, cough or asthma
- Patients receiving PPI therapy for assessment of treatment efficacy
System Components at a Glance
The pH capsule is pre-mounted in the release mechanism of the delivery catheter and supplied together as a combined single-use set. The data recorder is available separately and intended for multiple use.
Delivery Catheter
- For precise placement and fixation of the pH capsule
- Release mechanism with soft tip for atraumatic placement
- Vacuum suction, fixation clips, and capsule release conveniently operated via the handle
- Catheter is completely removed after fixation
pH Capsule
- Comprising a sensor, a nickel-free fixation clip and a signal acquisition module enclosed in a polymer coating
- Measurement range pH 1–9
- Effective operating time ≥ 96 hours
- Wireless data transmission
- pH measurement accuracy:
- Degree of acidity: ± 0,5
- Degree of alkalinity: ± 1
Data Recorder
- Portable, battery-powered data recorder for direct patient use
- Reception and storage of pH data
- Compact, patient-friendly design with enlarged, easy-to-use buttons
- Event buttons for documentation of symptoms and meals
alpHaLAB Software
The alpHaLAB software is used for the central preparation, analysis and documentation of reflux examinations.
- Centralised patient management
- Support for multiple examinations per patient
- Automatic analysis and report generation
- Calculation of SI, SSI and SAP
- Automatic calculation of the DeMeester score
- Export of customisable reports
Patient Comfort and Clinical Benefit
- No transnasal probe during the measurement phase
- Normal food intake possible during the examination
- Monitoring under everyday conditions
- Improved diagnostic value due to extended measurement duration
