Vivatmo pro is a medical device intended for use by qualified healthcare professionals to perform point-of-care measurements, primarily on asthma patients. Vivatmo pro measures fractional exhaled nitric oxide in human breath (FeNO). FeNO is an increasingly important marker for airway inflammation that is used in asthma management1 to support the diagnoses and individualized therapy. Providing physicians with an enhanced ability to assess airway inflammation can help ensure that patients receive the medication and treatment they need 2. The design award-winning Vivatmo pro device is non-invasive, easy to use, and virtually maintenance-free utilizing high-precision Bosch sensor technology. 

"Methapharm is the ideal partner for our entry into the U.S. medtech market," states Marc Meier, General Manager of Bosch Healthcare Solutions. "We work with great passion and engineering skills to make everyday life in the healthcare sector better, step by step. Methapharm's educational and dialog-based approach ensures that we have access to our U.S. customers at eye level and understand their needs. This helps us to tailor our high-precision sensor technology and the resulting asthma management solutions to the requirements of the market. This fits our company philosophy perfectly: Invented for Life."
