Intended use

This device is intended to be used for the in vitro qualitative detection of antibodies against Helicobacter Pylori (H. pylori) in human serum or plasma. And it is for professional use only, not for self-testing of untrained individuals, nor for near-patient testing.

Summary

H. pylori is a small, spiral-shaped bacterium that lives in the surface of the stomach and duodenum. It is implicated in the etiology of a variety of gastrointestinal diseases, including duodenal and gastric ulcer, non-ulcer dyspepsia and active and chronic gastritis. Both invasive and non-invasive methods are used to diagnose H. pylori infection in patients with symptoms of gastrointestinal disease. Specimen dependent and costly invasive diagnostic methods include gastric or duodenal biopsy followed by urease testing (presumptive), culture, and/or histologic staining. Non-invasive techniques include the urea breath test, which requires expensive laboratory equipment and moderate radiation exposure, and serological methods. Individuals infected with H. pylori develop antibodies which correlate strongly with histologically confirmed H. pylori infection.

The current clinical methods for detecting H. pylori include chemiluminescence, immunochromatography and so on.
