Infrared spectrometry breath analyser IVD (An electrically-powered laboratory or point-of-care instrument designed to use infrared spectrometry technology for the qualitative and/or quantitative in vitro determination of chemical and/or biological markers in a specimen of air exhaled from a patient. It is typically used to measure analytes such as ingested carbon isotopes that have been metabolized (e.g., 13C, 14C) to establish a correlation with metabolic profiles or disorders [e.g., gastrointestinal H. pylori infection]. The device operates with minimal technician involvement and complete automation of all procedural steps.)
