Description

Key Features of Tri-Med 60444 (Air Pump)

  • Purpose-Built: Specifically designed as a dedicated accessory for the PYtest® 14C-Urea Breath Test diagnostic protocol.

  • Precision Delivery: Used to facilitate the collection of breath samples by assisting in the transfer of air from the collection balloon into the scintillation vials.

  • Portable Design: Compact and lightweight, allowing it to be used easily in various clinical settings like gastroenterology labs or GP offices.

  • Durable Housing: Built for medical environments, typically featuring an easy-to-clean exterior.

  • Low Maintenance: Designed for high-frequency use with minimal mechanical upkeep required.

Primary Uses

  • H. pylori Diagnosis: Essential for processing the breath sample that determines if a patient has an active H. pylori infection (the leading cause of stomach ulcers and gastritis).

  • Breath Sample Transfer: Used after the patient has ingested the 14C-urea capsule and provided a breath sample into a balloon; the pump helps push that air through the Collection Fluid (MPN 60445) to trap labeled $CO_{2}$.

  • Post-Treatment Confirmation: Utilized during follow-up tests to verify that antibiotic treatment has successfully eradicated the bacteria.
