A New Portable Monitor for Measuring Odorous Compounds in Oral, Exhaled and Nasal Air
Completed
- Conditions
- Halitosis
- Registration Number
- NCT01139073
- Lead Sponsor
- Okayama University
- Brief Summary
The B/B Checker, a new portable device for detecting odorous compounds in oral, exhaled, and nasal air, is now available. As a single unit, this device is capable of assessing several kinds of gases mixed with volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) in addition to other odorous gasses. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the B/B Checker for detecting the malodor level of oral, exhaled, and nasal air.
