Title:Clinical Utility and Tolerability of JSPH-1 Wireless Esophageal pH
Monitoring System

Reviewer's report:
Dear Author
I red interestingly your paper and I am very happy to know that a new wireless
device for prolonged (48-96 hours) esophageal acid exposure time is now
available.
Your results do not let us know about new insights in GERD pathophysiology, but
it is important to describe this new device for GERD monitoring.
I have two questions to submit to your attention:
1) Why do not consider Symptoms Association Probability (SAP) other than
Symptom Index (SI) to evaluate symptom-reflux correlation? If it is possible
please provide this data. SAP is considered more statistically reliable.
2) Why did you not prolong a 72-96 hours analysis of pH in your patients to
perform more detailed informations on your wireless system?
Thank you, best regards.
