H. pylori & gastric-cancer risk
Biotical H.pylori Stool Ag
A stool antigen test for H. pylori — a non-invasive option where endoscopy is not indicated.
Clinical use
Detects H. pylori antigen in stool without a scope, supporting a presumptive diagnosis where endoscopy is not indicated. Timing of any post-treatment retest is the treating clinician's decision, per the protocol they follow.
Highlights
- Qualitative detection of H. pylori antigens in a stool sample — result in 10 minutes (IFU RTB25PG)
- Antigen in stool points to current infection rather than past exposure — but the IFU frames the result as a presumptive diagnosis, to be read alongside the clinical picture
- For professional in vitro diagnostic use
