The accuview graph from the study was returned for evaluation.The total time of the study was 24:54 hours which indicates a performance of a full study and proper function of the bravo ph recorder.There are significant gaps/ignores identified during the study based on discontinuous/interrupted ph values shown in the graph.These gaps occurred mostly during the periods in which the patient was supine.Based on the study analysis review, the most likely reason for gaps in the study was an excessive distance between the recorder and capsule (more than 2 meters away from the capsule) when the patient was supine.The ifu for this device states, the patient must stay within 2 meters (6 feet) of the recorder during the study except, as necessary, for bathing.A review of the device history record was performed and indicates that the product was released meeting finished product specifications.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
