H.pylori produces large amounts of urease, which degrades urea to ammonia. The ammonia is detected in the mouth cavity air by a change of the indicator tube color from yellow or orange to blue, violet or grey-green. The analysis consists of 2 parts. In Part I the basal ammonia level is detected. In Part II the load ammonia level is detected. After that the basal and load levels are compared and the conclusion regarding the H.pylori infection presence is made.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jAVIMFcFfj8?si=nXH_XyUn7IPrKftz\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Warnings and Precautions<\/strong><br \/>\nFor in vitro diagnostic use only.

The test is applied by gastroenterologists, general practitioners, by staff of primary health centers and dispensaries and allows implementing Near Patient Testings (NPT) in any place and situation. The packaging and size of the HELIC ABT make the test easy to transport in regions with various climate conditions. Sensitive composition inside the indicator tube allows the H.pylori infection to be detected without using complicated equipment or radioactive isotope markers. The procedure of analysis lasts about 15 minutes. The test can also be recommended for children and pregnant women without any special precautions<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":506,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[15],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-505","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-uncategorized","8":"first","9":"instock","10":"shipping-taxable","11":"purchasable","12":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/store.medicoregp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/505","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/store.medicoregp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/store.medicoregp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/store.medicoregp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=505"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/store.medicoregp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/506"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/store.medicoregp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=505"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/store.medicoregp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=505"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/store.medicoregp.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=505"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
