What is Niox used for?

NIOX VERO® is designed to make FeNO testing as simple as inhaling and exhaling. Help diagnose patients, optimise treatment, reduce exacerbations, uncover non-adherence to Inhaled Corticosteroids (ICS), all in one breath.

What does Niox Vero measure?

NIOX VERO measures Nitric Oxide in human breath (Fractional exhaled Ni- tric Oxide, FeNO) and Nasal Nitric Oxide (nNO) in the aspirated air from the nasal cavity. FeNO is increased in some airway inflammatory processes such as asthma and decreases in response to anti-inflammatory treatment.

What is Niox FeNO?

Fractional Exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) is a quantitative, non-invasive and simple method of measuring airway inflammation that provides a complementary tool to other established methods of assessing airways disease in asthma patients. Specifically, FeNO is an objective measurement of allergic/eosinophilic inflammation.

What is the FeNO test?

FeNO stands for ‘fractional exhaled nitric oxide’. A FeNO test measures the levels of nitric oxide when you breathe out. Nitric oxide is produced in your lungs when your airways are inflamed because you’re allergic to something you’ve breathed in.

What causes a high FeNO?

Conclusion. High FENO levels signal asthmatic or allergic respiratory disease in a population-based study. FENO levels are associated with degree of eosinophil airway inflammation as measured by the percentage of eosinophils and ECP in BAL.

What does FeNO stand for?

What is a fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) test? A fractional exhaled nitric oxide test is a simple test to see how much nitric oxide is in your breath. It’s often called a FeNO (“fee-no”) test for short.

What does a FeNO test measure?

An exhaled nitric oxide test can help with the diagnosis and treatment of asthma. Also known as the fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) test, this test measures the level of nitric oxide gas in an exhaled sample of your breath.
