If you suspect you may have asthma, or if you are already undergoing treatment for asthma, we recommend that you have the NO concentration in your exhaled air measured using the NIOX VERO. This will enable us to determine a precise and effective treatment plan for you.
By using NIOX VERO, we obtain a reliable diagnosis based on clear measurements.
Although questioning patients about allergies and previous illnesses remains important, the simple measurement with NIOX VERO now makes asthma diagnosis faster, easier and much more accurate than ever before (such a precise, number-based assessment did not exist previously).
Measuring exhaled NO with NIOX VERO helps us in many ways:
1) Asthma diagnosis: It helps us to diagnose asthma (assessment of inflammation).
2) Choice of therapy: We can better predict whether inhaled steroids will be effective.
3) Monitoring: We can monitor the progress of your treatment.
4) Intake check: It helps us to check whether the medication is being taken regularly.
The examination is simple and places little strain on your body. Just talk to Dr. Atsuki Furube, our lung specialist.
