It uses specific antibodies for H. pylori antigens to selectively detect H. pylori antigens in human stool samples.\u003cbr\u003e In this test, the membrane is pre-coated with anti-H. pylori on the test line region. During testing, the sample reacts with the anti-H. pylori antibody-coated particle. The mixture migrates upward on the membrane by capillary action to react with the anti-H. pylori on the membrane and generate a colored line.\u003cbr\u003e The presence of this colored line in the test area indicates a positive result, while its absence indicates a negative result. To serve as a procedural control, a colored line will always appear in the control line region, indicating that an adequate volume of sample has been added and membrane wicking has occurred.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eInstructions for use\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Wash hands with soap and rinse with water.\u003cbr\u003e The stool sample should be collected on stool collection paper or in clean collection containers. Use stool collection paper, avoiding contamination of the sample by taking precautions so that the sample or the side of the paper containing the sample does not come into contact with contaminating objects, including toilet cleaners.\u003cbr\u003e Unscrew the cap of the sample collection tube, then randomly stab the sample collection applicator into the fecal sample in at least 3 different sites. Do not scoop the fecal sample. Screw and tighten the cap onto the sample collection tube, then vigorously shake the sample collection tube to mix the sample and extraction buffer for 2 minutes.\u003cbr\u003e Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening. Remove the test cassette from the foil pouch and use it as soon as possible. Best results are obtained if the test is performed immediately after opening the foil pouch.\u003cbr\u003e Open the cap of the sample collection tube and break the tip. Invert the sample collection tube and transfer 2 full drops of the extracted sample into the sample well (S) of the test cassette, then start the timer. Avoid trapping air bubbles in the sample well (S).\u003cbr\u003e Read the results at 10 minutes. Do not read the results after 20 minutes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cu\u003eInterpretation of results\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003e POSITIVE: Two lines are displayed, the test line (T) and the control line (C). The color intensity in the test line region (T) will vary depending on the concentration of Helicobacter pylori antigen present in the sample. Therefore, any shade of color in the test line zone (T) should be considered positive. This result means that H. pylori antigen is present in the stool and you should consult a doctor.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e NEGATIVE: A colored line appears in the control line area (C). No line appears in the test line area (T). This result means that the presence of H. pylori in the stool is not detectable.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e INVALID: The control line (C) is not displayed. Insufficient sample volume or incorrect procedural techniques are the most likely reasons for the control line (C) not appearing. Review the procedure and repeat the test with a new test. If the problem persists, stop using the test kit immediately and contact your local distributor.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eWarnings\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e For in vitro diagnostic self-testing only. Do not use after the expiration date.\u003cbr\u003e Do not eat, drink, or smoke in the area where samples or kits are handled.\u003cbr\u003e If the aluminum packaging is damaged or has been opened, do not use it.\u003cbr\u003e Use a clean container to collect the fecal sample.\u003cbr\u003e Strictly follow the indicated times.\u003cbr\u003e Use the test only once. Do not disassemble or touch the test window of the test cassette.\u003cbr\u003e Dispose of the used test according to local regulations.\u003cbr\u003e Keep out of reach of children.\u003cbr\u003e The test should be used for the detection of H. pylori antigens only in stool samples. Neither the quantitative value nor the rate of increase in the concentration of H. pylori antigens can be determined by this qualitative test.\u003cbr\u003e The test will only indicate the presence of Helicobacter pylori in the sample and should not be used as the sole diagnostic criterion to determine if Helicobacter pylori is an etiological agent for peptic or duodenal ulcers.\u003cbr\u003e Test results should be interpreted in conjunction with other clinical information available to the physician.\u003cbr\u003e If the test result is negative and clinical symptoms persist, further testing using other clinical methods is recommended. A negative result never precludes the possibility of H. pylori infection.\u003cbr\u003e Following some antibiotic treatments, the concentration of H. pylori antigens may decrease to a concentration below the minimum detection level of the test. Therefore, diagnosis should be made with caution during antibiotic treatment.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eStorage\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Store at room temperature or refrigerated (2-30 °C), avoiding areas of excessive humidity. Do not freeze.\u003cbr\u003e The test is stable until the expiration date printed on the sealed packaging. The test cassette must remain in the sealed pouch until use. Do not use beyond the expiration date.\u003cbr\u003e Shelf life unopened: 24 months.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The kit contains:\u003cbr\u003e - test cassette;\u003cbr\u003e - sample collection tube with extraction buffer;\u003cbr\u003e - leaflet;\u003cbr\u003e - stool collection paper.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eBibliography\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 1.
