More Details

Rapid urease tests for Helicobacter pylori are used routinely in endoscopy settings when patients undergo gastroscopy. They are used to identify the bacterium by detecting H. pylori urease activity in gastric biopsy specimens. BIOHIT H. pylori CONTOL+ is an in vitro diagnostic medical device and positive quality control for demonstrating the validity and performance of rapid urease tests in endoscopy settings.

Test Methodology

The BIOHIT H. pylori CONTROL+ is a reagent containing urease solution – an enzyme that is produced by H. pylori bacterium and which forms the basis of rapid urease tests. When the H. pylori CONTROL+ reagent is applied to a rapid urease test, it simulates the reaction of a positive H. pylori-containing biopsy in the test causing a positive test result, verifying the performance of the test.

H. pylori CONTROL+ FAQs

How does the BIOHIT H. pylori CONTROL+ work?

The BIOHIT H. pylori CONTROL+ reagent verifies the performance of rapid urease tests by simulating a positive biopsy reaction to produce a positive test result.

The H. pylori CONTROL+ contains urease, an enzyme that breaks down urea to produce ammonia and carbon dioxide. Rapid urease tests containing a urea substrate and a pH-indicator react positively in the presence of urease. A positive test result indicates that the rapid urease test is performing as expected and can be documented for QC purposes.

How much H. pylori CONTROL+ should I use?

Use 1 drop of the CONTROL+ in place of a biopsy specimen in each test to be checked.

How often should I use H. pylori CONTROL+?

It is recommended to use the H. pylori CONTROL+ before rapid urease tests are used on clinical specimens – this may be daily before endoscopy lists begin, or whenever a new batch of tests is introduced.

What is the significance of the H. pylori Control+?

The H. pylori Control+ is a urease solution that serves as a positive control for daily quality checks of the test’s performance. By running this control before testing patient samples, clinicians can verify that the test is working correctly, ensuring the accuracy of patient results.

How should the H. pylori CONTROL+ be stored?

The test should be stored at a temperature between 2-8 °C to maintain its effectiveness.
