Aerocrine launches a new fully portable hand-held device to measure airway inflammation in asthma

SOLNA, Sweden – 11 September, 2013 - Aerocrine AB (OMX Nordic Exchange: AERO) is pleased to announce the launch of NIOX VERO®, a new, fully portable hand-held point-of-care device for the measurement of airway inflammation, such as asthma. Aerocrine introduces the new device in conjunction with the European Respiratory Society (ERS) annual meeting in Barcelona, September 7-11, 2013. NIOX VERO® was developed in collaboration between Aerocrine and Panasonic Healthcare Co.,Ltd. NIOX VERO® is a new and upgraded version of the gold standard for measurement of Fractional exhaled Nitric Oxide (FeNO), a validated and clinically proven method for assessing allergic airway inflammation such as asthma. NIOX VERO® provides accurate, reproducible and rapid measurement results. The NIOX VERO® has an onboard, rechargeable battery, upgraded software, wireless technology, patient journaling and has a useful life of 15,000 tests or 5 years compared to its predecessors (NIOX MINO®) 3,000 tests or 3 years. The CE-marked device used to measure airway inflammation - an underlying cause of inflammatory airway diseases – helps physicians to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare expenditures. The product is a complement to the Aerocrine product portfolio and will be initially introduced in selected market segments in Q4 2013 (Sweden, United Kingdom and Germany). The objective of this initial introduction is to conduct a real-life handling test of this highly innovative device in the daily practice of a limited number of demonstration sites. Further introduction in the remaining European countries is expected during spring 2014. Among the benefits of NIOX VERO, physicians will have more objective insights into treatment efficacy and can better predict a patients’ response to therapy and the risk of an asthma relapse. Moreover, physicians will be able to identify patient non-compliance with medications, and can adjust the dose of medication based on individual patients’ needs. By using NIOX VERO doctors can measure the underlying inflammation that causes asthma within a few minutes directly in their offices. Asthma is a chronic disease affecting millions including many children. Aerocrine’s NIOX products are created to help physicians identify patients that will respond to the optimal therapy. Patients are different, requiring different treatments and dosages. Therefore, airway inflammatory disease management and control can be significantly improved through ‘personalized’ monitoring of the airway inflammation rather than just following symptoms and assessing lung function. About asthma Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways characterized by symptoms including wheezing, cough and shortness of breath. The disease affects more than 300 million people around the world, many of whom are children. Asthma is a complex disease for which there is no cure. Current therapy is focused on controlling the disease.
