Brief summary
A new method of breath collection for testing for Helicobacter Pylori infection has been developed by Exalenz. In this study, it will be compared to the gold standard- endoscopy results to prove its accuracy.
Detailed description
This study will validate a breath collection method by comparing a newly developed breath test kit, IDkit:Hp™ TWO using breath collection bags, to congruent biopsy results (a composite reference standard by analyzing specimens with microbial culture, histological examination and rapid urease test- RUT) in detecting H.Pylori
Interventions
Breath Collection bags will be used to collect breath of subjects before and after ingestion of 13-C breath test substrate

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| overall percent agreement | 21 days | The primary study endpoint is the performance measure (overall percent agreement) in initial diagnosis (presence/ absence of H.pylori) between biopsy results and bag mode breath test. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| overall percent agreement | 21 days | The performance measure (overall percent agreement) in post-therapy diagnosis (presence/ absence of H.pylori) between the Dual Mode BreathID® Hp System when using only one pair of IDkit:Hp™ TWO breath collection bags measured within 9 days and congruent biopsy results |
