BreathTek UBT makes accuracy convenient

Simple to Administer...

  1. Collect baseline breath sample*

  2. Patient drinks Pranactin®-Citric drug solution

  3. Wait 15 minutes, then collect second breath sample

*The patient should have fasted at least 1 hour before
  administering the BreathTek UBT.

UBT method: More convenient than invasive H. pylori tests1,2†

  • By simply measuring the ratio of 13CO2 to 12CO2 in the patient's breath samples,
    BreathTek UBT accurately detects active H. pylori-associated urease
    • Breath sample analysis using 13CO2 is noninvasive and nonbiohazardous3
  • Doesn't require giving blood, collecting stool, or biopsying tissue during an endoscopy
  • Patients may avoid a surgical procedure or the potential risks and discomforts associated with more invasive testing methods
  • Can reduce the inconvenience and the cost of unnecessary treatment4

Patients prefer UBT vs fecal antigen test5

  • In a patient survey (n =140), more patients preferred to be tested for H. pylori with a UBT rather than a stool sample

† Not based on a direct-comparison study between BreathTek UBT and other H. pylori tests.
