Vivatmo pro is a medical device intended for use by qualified healthcare professionals to perform point-of-care measurements, primarily on asthma patients.

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.
