A gastric pH ambulatory recorder is a portable, wearable device that continuously monitors stomach acid levels over 24 hours. Clinically, it helps diagnose conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), ulcers, or other acid-related disorders by tracking pH fluctuations during daily activities.
These devices are typically regulated as medical electronics, often requiring compliance with electrical safety and performance standards. They are usually single-use or reusable (with sterilization) and supplied with software for data analysis, though classification varies by jurisdiction.
