HUBT-20P – 14C-UBT Helicobacter pylori Respiratory Screening System

Infection by Helicobacter pylori is one of the most frequent causes of gastric ulcers and chronic gastritis, and is a significant risk factor for stomach cancer. Reliable and rapid screening is therefore essential to ensure early diagnosis and optimal patient management. In this context, the HUBT-20P 14C-UBT system represents a major step forward, combining ease of use, technological reliability and patient comfort.

Operating principle

The test is based on the use of [14C]-labeled urea.

• After the patient ingests the capsule, if an infection occurs... H. pylori is present, the enzyme urease secreted by the bacteria degrades urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide labeled with 14C.

• This 14CO₂ is then expired and collected on a specific card.

• The HUBT-20P performs a precise measurement using a beta ionization and counting system, enabling it to deliver a result positive or negative in an automated and rapid manner.

This process is non-invasive, painless and requires only a simple breath from the patient, making the test particularly suitable for everyday clinical use.

Main features

• Complete automation : once the card is inserted, the system performs the detection without manual intervention.

• Speed of the test : a diagnosis in about 15 minutes after ingestion of the capsule.

• Proven accuracy : relative variation tolerance ≤30 % after 48 hours of continuous operation.

• Technical reliability : detection efficiency ≥15 % on a standard source, with background noise ≤50 CPM.

• Advanced connectivity : integration into the local hospital network, PC-assisted diagnosis, integrated printer for direct traceability.

• Hygiene and safety : disposable mouthpiece and collection cartridge, ensuring a convenient and hygienic process for each patient.

Benefits for the patient

• Non-invasive : unlike gastric biopsy, no endoscopy is necessary.

• Comfort : a simple capsule and an exhalation are sufficient.

• Speed : reliable result in a few minutes.

• Security : the dose of 14C used is extremely low and safe for health.

Benefits for healthcare professionals

• Time saving : immediate positive/negative results, optimizing care.

• Ease of use : no special technical skills required.

• Clinical reliability : stable and reproducible performance, validated by many years of experience.

• Reduced maintenance Modular design and robust components, reducing service costs.

Clinical applications

• Initial screening for an infection with Helicobacter pylori.

• Verification of bacterial eradication after antibiotic treatment.

• Long-term follow-up of patients at risk of recurrence.

• Use in hospitals, gastroenterology clinics, private practices and diagnostic centers.
