Breath Test
|
|
| |
The
Advanced AP C13 Urea Breath Test ; the Ultimate Ideal
Diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori Infection |
|
| |
The
innovative AP C13 Urea Breath Test is a HKSARG registered
isotopic technology for the diagnosis of H.pylori infection
in the stomach. This diagnostic method has been proven to be
very accurate, with a high sensitivity (98%) and high
specificity (95%). It is non-radioactive and safe even on
children, pregnant women and seniors. It is also a FDA
approved test and has been widely used in North America,
Europe, etc for quite some years. The patients only need to
exhale two breath samples into two individual sample bags,
i.e. a normal breath and a second breath after consuming a
lemon flavour C13 Urea solution (PROTO PYLORIKIT TM
). |

AP C13
Urea Breath Test - Mechanism with PROTO PYLORIKIT
TM
|
|
| |
The
mechanism of the AP C13 Urea Breath Test is to measure the
urease activity of H.pylori. The bacterium produces copious
amounts of urease which breaks down the C13 labelled urea to
produce labelled CO2 and ammonia. The CO2
is dissolved in the blood stream and transported to the
lungs for removal. Exhaled CO2 is collected in a
bag which will be then processed and analysed by the
advanced ISOMAX instrument, a Non-Dispersive Infrared
Spectrometry (NDIRS). A quick report will be generated in 7
minutes. |
