About the Bravo pH Monitoring System
Given Imaging's Bravo system is the world’s first catheter-free pH monitoring test for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It includes a small capsule attached to your esophagus wall that sends pH data wirelessly to a portable receiver. These data will help your doctor make a diagnosis and treat your symptoms.
For years, cumbersome catheter-based pH tests made diagnosing GERD an unpleasant and embarrassing experience. Given Imaging's innovative Bravo pH Monitoring System offers a more tolerable alternative to traditional catheter-based tests.
If you experience frequent heartburn, severe indigestion, nausea, or acid reflux, your doctor may recommend a 24- to 48-hour pH monitoring test to determine if you have GERD.
