Helicobacter Pylori
The presence of Helicobacter pylori strains colonizing the gastric or intestinal mucosa can cause chronic gastritis (inflammation of the stomach), which can lead to ulcers and / or cancer. Helicobacter infection is currently present in 90% of patients with gastric ulcer disease. Therefore, it is important to detect the presence of the bacterium and kill it using specific antibiotics. The most effective way to diagnose a bacterium is to detect the presence of circulating antibodies in the blood against the bacteria that the immune system makes when infected. In case of a positive test, visit your general practitioner and consult the next procedure exclusively with him.

Use
1. Wash your hands with soap and rinse them with clean water.
2. Tear open the protective bag (notched), removing only the cartridge and pipette.
3. Push the small orange pin all the way into the lancet until you hear a click to indicate that the device is activated.
4. Remove the orange pin by turning it left or right.
5. Clean your tummy of your index finger or middle finger with an alcohol wipe. Massage the end of the finger up and down so that the abdomen of the finger is perfused.
6. Firmly push the end of the lancet onto the alcohol-cleaned finger to make good contact. Press the start button.
7. The needle tip is automatically and safely retracted after the injection.
8. Massage the end of your pierced finger to get a drop of blood.
9. Place the pipette on the drop of blood without compressing the balloon. The blood is drawn into the pipette up to the marked comma due to capillarity. If the blood has not reached the comma, you can massage your finger again until there is enough sample. If possible, avoid bubbles.
10. Drip the sample by squeezing the balloon on the pipette into the test window on the cartridge as shown.
11. Wait for the blood to be absorbed from the test window and add 4-5 drops from the buffer vial.
12. After 10 minutes, evaluate the test according to the package leaflet. Do not evaluate after more than 15 minutes.
