What It’s For

This test helps identify an active H. pylori infection, which may cause:

• Persistent stomach discomfort or burning pain
• Bloating, nausea, or indigestion
• Poor appetite or unexpected weight loss

If the result is positive, consult your GP or pharmacist to discuss treatment. A negative result with ongoing symptoms still warrants medical advice.

Directions for Use

• Adults (18+): Read the full leaflet before testing.
• For accuracy: Avoid PPIs for 2 weeks and antibiotics or bismuth for 4 weeks before testing — these may give false negatives. Ask your GP before stopping any prescribed medicine.
• Collect a small stool sample using the catcher provided. Do not contaminate with urine or water.
• Mix the sample in the buffer tube as directed.
• Add the drops to the cassette and wait approximately 10 minutes.
• Read results within the time window shown in the leaflet:
  • Two lines = Positive
  • One line (Control only) = Negative
  • No Control line = Invalid (repeat with new test)
