Judge it!
"CareFirst BCBS, the insurance company adopted a positive coverage policy for the measurement of exhaled nitric oxide(eNO)in asthma patients.Sounds good. Also the device “Insight eNO system ” is quiet interesting.Can we use this device to monitor our asthma levels at home?

Hey,
I have researched on these devices and according to my understanding devices such as "Insight eNO" detects the amount of nitric oxide molecules present in asthma patients.Based on the amount of nitric oxide present in patients doctors can make clinical decisions more confidently. By continuous monitoring of patients eNO levels , doctors can tune their medication accordingly which helps them to bring their asthma in control. Will research more and let you know. |

Hey,
Thanks for the information. I came to know that exhaled nitric oxide is a powerful tool in management of asthma. Also I researched on the devices which is used to measure exhaled nitric oxide and came to know that the device "Insight eNO system" is cleared by the FDA for use in the physician’s office only. Currently, there are no devices in the US approved for home-use to monitor exhaled nitric oxide. Apieron, Inc. a medical device company markets this device(Insight eNO) to doctors offices. |

Daily Horoscope for December 10
Capricorn
Someone is in a finger-wagging mood and unfortunately they seem to be concentrating on you! Maybe they think you've fallen from grace for some reason, or perhaps you're simply the only person who happens to be around when they feel like letting off steam. Do your best not to fall into an equally critical and disgruntled mood, because it will soon make you feel wretched.
