A manometric gastrointestinal motility analysis system measures pressure and motility within the digestive tract using specialized catheters or probes inserted into the stomach or intestines. Clinicians use these systems to diagnose conditions like swallowing disorders (dysphagia), acid reflux (GERD), unexplained chest pain, and neuromuscular or connective tissue disorders by analyzing peristaltic activity and related physiological signals.
These systems typically include a central computer with dedicated software, along with perfusion or non-perfusion catheters and sensors for pressure, pH, respiration, and swallowing. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their invasive nature and intended diagnostic purpose, often requiring compliance with medical device standards for accuracy and safety in gastrointestinal diagnostics.
