Gastro+ analyzer for the determination of hydrogen in exhaled air

Hydrogen Breath Testing (HBT)

HBT is a non-invasive, sensitive and specific diagnostic tool for small intestinal sugar malabsorption. The test makes use of the ability of gut bacteria to digest sugars and convert them into hydrogen, which is then absorbed into the blood and can be measured in exhaled air.

The test is frequently used in pediatric and adult gastroenterology departments for the diagnosis of malabsorption of the sugars lactose, fructose and sucrose. It is also used to investigate small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO).

The Gastrolyzer® range is recognized worldwide for the accuracy of breath hydrogen testing, cited by world leaders in gastroenterology such as Robert Heuschkel and Way Seah Lee.

Mouthpiece Sampling System

This sampling system is recommended for use with adults or patients able to hold their breath for a short period of time. The patient inhales deeply, holds the breath, then slowly exhales through a mouthpiece. Within 45 seconds, the result will be displayed on the screen and can then be saved to a patient profile, downloaded to the GastroCHART ™ database or recorded manually.

Face Mask Sampling System

This sampling system is recommended for use with younger or older patients who are unable to cooperate with the test. Gastro + ™ is attached to a face mask, which is then placed over the patient's mouth and nose. Once the "face mask" mode is selected, the Gastro + ™ will read in real time until the result stabilizes. The reading is then displayed on the screen, and can then be saved to a patient profile, downloaded to the GastroCHART ™ database, or manually recorded.
