Bravo™ Wireless Reflux Monitoring

Comfortable, wireless acid reflux testing without nasal tubes.

What is the Bravo Test?

The Bravo pH test is a wireless way to measure acid levels in your oesophagus. A small capsule is temporarily attached to the oesophageal lining during a short endoscopy. It transmits data to a recorder worn on your body for up to 96 hours.

When is it Recommended?

Ideal for patients with:

What to Expect

The capsule is placed during a brief endoscopic procedure. You’ll then wear a data recorder and maintain a symptom diary for several days. The capsule naturally detaches and passes out of the body in a few days.

Preparation & Aftercare

You’ll need to fast before capsule placement. Certain medications may need to be paused beforehand. After placement, normal eating and drinking resume within hours.

Risks & Complications

The Bravo test is safe. Mild chest discomfort or the feeling of something in the throat may occur initially.

Is the Bravo test better than traditional pH testing?

It offers more comfort and a longer testing period, without the need for nasal tubes.

Can I eat normally during the test?

Yes, after the initial post-placement period, you can eat and drink as advised.
