These methods require procedures that are often time consuming, and require

Restech's "plug & play" adapter allows sleep medicine professionals to
track their patients' airway pH events in real-time on their existing
patient monitoring equipment and presents patients with a procedure that is
minimally invasive and more comfortable than current technology . Laryngopharyngeal reflux is
associated with and known to exacerbate various respiratory disorders such
as asthma, bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and chronic
cough. OSA affects approximately 20 million Americans and
significant gastroesophageal reflux occurs in at least half of this
population.

Gastric reflux in the airway has been shown to exacerbate respiratory
diseases such as asthma, chronic cough , and sleep apnea, as well as throat
disorders including chronic throat clearing and hoarseness. This
system can be easily set up by a sleep physician and allows simple,
reliable detection of pH changes in the airway associated with gastric
reflux. Research findings support the relationship between reflux in the
upper airway and sleep related breathing disorders such as obstructive
sleep apnea (OSA).

Until now , the options for detecting gastric reflux events were limited to
either the insertion of a trans -nasal esophageal catheter, or the
attachment of a capsule to the esophageal wall, just above the stomach.

Restech is a privately funded manufacturer of medical devices that aid in

Many suffers are unaware of the reflux events occurring during sleep and
that these events may have severe consequences because the normal throat
