Does the Dx—pH Measurement System™ measure aerosolized pH, liquid pH, or both?
The Dx–pH Probe was designed specifically for the purpose of measuring the pH of aerosolized reflux. It is extremely sensitive and can obtain readings from very little reflux action. The Dx–pH Probe does in fact work in a liquid environment, but because of its position above the upper esophageal sphincter (UES), its contact with refluxate is limited mainly to aerosol. This is because the UES acts as a final barrier to protect the delicate laryngeal tissue from acid exposure. Impedance technology has revealed that it is extremely rare to get a liquid event above the UES, and that nearly all events in this location are gaseous.
