Exhaled Nitric Oxide (ENO) Monitor
Airway Inflammation Monitoring
Measuring ENO with NObreath ENO Tester allows consistent, non-invasive measurement of expired breath nitric oxide (NO). This can be used as a marker for airway inflammation and on-going monitoring of treatment.
ENO is a non-invasive, valid marker of airway inflammation, making analysis and monitoring safe, quick and easy. The relation between elevated levels of ENO and airway inflammation, such as in COPD sufferers, is well established.2
The NObreath ENO Monitor provides affordable ENO monitoring that is accessible to many healthcare professionals. The hand-held device enables respiratory specialists, doctors and asthma specialists to largely comply with ATS and ERS guidelines3 when testing ENO levels in patients. Adults and children can be easily tested, correctly assessed and promptly prescribed the correct treatment regime thus saving time and further reducing costs.
The NObreath ENO tester uses the NObreathFloTM sample conditioning and entrapment system; a re-usable device that ensures the consistency of each test. Single-use disposable mouthpieces attach to the NObreathFloTM for cost-effective infection control.

NObreath mouthpieces
Specifically designed with the latest bacterial filtration to remove 99.9% of airborne bacteria from the patient’s breath. These can be used up to 3 times per patient, dramatically reducing the cost of testing for Feno.
NObreathFlo™
Eye level flow indicator makes keeping a constant flow during exhalation easy, even for young children. Using the NObreathFlo™ and mouthpieces provided allows the user to comply with ATS/ERS guidelines for Feno testing2. The NObreathFlo™ is changed after 50 mouthpieces are used to further reduce the risk of cross-infection
NObreathFlo™ Trainer
for patients to practise their technique before taking the test to ensure correct results and avoid using consumables unnecessarily.
