Avoid invasive testing
Not every patient with stomach symptoms needs a gastroscopy. Yet endoscopy units across the NHS are under increasing pressure to manage growing demand, with thousands of patients referred for gastroscopy each year without prior triage. GastroPanel® Quick Test is a finger-prick blood test that assesses four gastric biomarkers – pepsinogen I, pepsinogen II, gastrin-17 and H. pylori antibodies – that identifies which patients need further investigation and which don’t. With results available in 15 minutes at the point of care, clinicians can make confident triage decisions before any decision to scope is made, reducing unnecessary procedures and ensuring patients who genuinely need gastroscopy are seen sooner.
Better gastroscopy outcomes
For patients who test positive, GastroPanel Quick Test improves the quality of the gastroscopy itself. In England, approximately 8.5% of upper gastrointestinal cancers are diagnosed after a previous endoscopy failed to detect the disease. GastroPanel helps address this by equipping clinicians with detailed information about the condition of the gastric mucosa before the procedure, enabling a more targeted examination, more appropriate biopsy decisions and reducing the risk of missed diagnoses.
Transform your gastroscopy pathway
The benefits extend beyond the individual patient. Gastroscopy is a resource-intensive procedure requiring a team of clinical and administrative staff. By reducing unnecessary gastroscopies, GastroPanel Quick Test frees up endoscopy capacity, reduces cost and clinical time across the pathway, and ensures that stretched endoscopy services can focus on the patients who need them most. As a point-of-care test requiring no laboratory infrastructure, GastroPanel Quick Test is suitable for departments of any size making pathway change practical as well as clinically compelling.
