What is Helicobacter pylori?

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a Gram-negative, microaerophilic bacterium that colonizes the stomach lining.
It is a leading cause of:

• Chronic active gastritis

• Peptic ulcer disease

• Gastric carcinoma

• Gastric MALT lymphoma

According to the World Health Organization, H. pylori is a Class I carcinogen and affects nearly 50% of the global population.

Why Choose the Urea Breath Test (UBT)?

The UBT is the gold-standard method for diagnosing active H. pylori infection and for monitoring post-treatment eradication.
Compared to traditional invasive methods (endoscopy, biopsy), it is:

• Non-invasive

• Safe

• Simple

• Highly accurate

• Fast (results in minutes)

Operating Principle

When a patient ingests a small 14C-urea capsule, if H. pylori bacteria are present, their urease enzyme breaks the urea into ammonia and labeled carbon dioxide (14CO₂).
The patient’s exhaled breath is then analyzed by the HUBT-20P system to detect the presence of 14CO₂ — confirming the infection.

Testing Procedure

1. The patient takes one 14C-urea capsule orally.

2. Wait for approximately 15 minutes.

3. The patient exhales onto a HUBT-20P collection card until the color changes from orange to yellow.

4. The analyzer processes the sample and displays results as positive or negative for H. pylori infection.

Safety & Regulatory Compliance

• Each test exposes patients to only 1.59 μSv, significantly less than a one-hour airplane flight (3.00 μSv).

• The test is safe and environment-friendly.

• China’s Ministry of Environmental Protection and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) have both granted regulatory exemption for medical diagnostic use of 14C-urea capsules.

• Over 10 million tests have been safely conducted worldwide.
