What distinguishes Vivatmo me from other devices you can use to self-monitor your lung function?
Your doctor may have recommended you use a peak-flow meter or a spirometer to monitor your allergic asthma at home. These aids allow you to check how well you can breathe. Because your asthma symptoms are triggered by constricted airways. But the real cause of your symptoms is the chronic inflammation of your lungs.
What happens when you take a measurement?
The Vivatmo breath analyser detects even the minutest traces of a specific inflammatory market in exhaled breath. The amount of this inflammatory marker – known as the FeNO value – indicates the degree of inflammation in your lungs when the measurement is taken.
The FeNO level is thus an objective indicator of how inflamed your lungs are.1-5 You no longer have to listen carefully to what your body is telling you or rely on guesswork – instead you simply take a measurement! Taking regular FeNO readings puts your asthma firmly on your radar, giving you more confidence in managing your disease!
