Nasal User Manual English 5
As measurement requires patient cooperation, some children below the age
of 7 may require additional coaching and encouragement. NIOX VERO
should be used as directed in the NIOX VERO User Manual.
• CAUTION! NIOX VERO for FeNO measurement can be operated with two
different exhalation times, 10 seconds and 6 seconds. The 10 second test
is the preferred mode. For children who are not able to perform the 10
second test, the 6 second test is an alternative. The 6 second test should
be used with caution in patients over the age of 10 years. It should not be
used in adult patients. Incorrect use of the 6s exhalation mode may result
in falsely low FeNO values, which can lead to incorrect clinical decisions.
nNO
Nasal Nitric Oxide has been shown to be decreased in patients with Primary
Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD), and measurement of nNO can assist in the identifi-
cation of cases of PCD according to ERS guidelines

.
Measurement of nNO with the NIOX VERO Nasal Measurement Mode is non-
invasive, simple, safe and repeatable in patients age 5 and above when mea-
sured according to the NIOX VERO Nasal Measurement Mode User Manual.
Suspected cases of PCD following screening with nNO should be confirmed
according to published recommendations for PCD diagnosis and manage-
ment
