Instruction

Lift the toilet seat, take out the stool collection paper from the packaging

Tear the double-sided tapes on both ends of the stool collection paper, and stick it onto both sides of the toilet body (ensure that the middle of the stool collection paper hangs above the water surface in the toilet)

Put down the toilet seat and carefully press the stool collection paper. Defecate onto the stool collection paper

After defecation, take out the test device from the packaging and start performing the test

Pull off the orange cap on the top of the test device

Insert the threaded end of the sampling stick into the stool at 5 different points to collect specimens

Insert the sampling stick back into the test device after collecting sample

Shake the test device for about 10 seconds to fully mix the stool sample into the diluent

Break off the white limit block from the cap

Keep the test device in the upright position, press the orange cap down to the lowest level, and start timing

Wait 10 minutes at room temperature for the result (results after 20 minutes are regarded as invalid)

What is Helicobacter Pylori?

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a type of bacteria that infects your stomach and duodenum. It attacks the lining that protects your stomach by neutralizing your stomach acid, leading to possible stomach or duodenum sores or ulcers. H. pylori is identified by IARC as a group 1 carcinogen for gastric cancer.

Symptoms

Suffering from stomach pain, bloating or frequent burping?

Most people do not realize that they have H. pylori infection as only 20% of those infected develop signs and symptoms. Symptoms of infection include:

Early Symptoms
Bloating, nausea, vomit, bad breath, frequent burping, weight loss, stomach pain and loss of appetite

Severe Symptoms
Peptic ulcer, anemia and black stools

Potential complications

H. pylori infection can cause gastritis, peptic ulcer, gastric cancer, gastric lymphoma or iron deficiency anemia etc.

The potential of developing more severe illnesses from a H. pylori infection cannot be ruled out even if no symptom is observed. Discovering a H. pylori infection at an early stage and receiving treatment can lower the risk of potential stomach illnesses.

It is important to eliminate H. pylori even if you recover from stomach illnesses as the H. pylori that remains in your stomach can lead to potential recurrence of illnesses.

Mode of transmission

H. pylori bacteria are usually passed from person to person through direct contact with saliva, vomit or stool. It may also spread through contaminated food or water.

Simple treatment

H. pylori infected persons should consult a doctor for appropriate treatments. Patients usually receive "triple therapy" by taking antibiotics for 1-2 weeks. Its side effects are relatively mild and can achieve an efficacy of 85%.

Protect your family's gastric health

Household members are prone to a higher risk of a H. pylori infection due to frequent and intimate contact and behaviors like sharing utensils, especially those living in crowded or unhygienic conditions. It is reported that the household transmission rate of H. pylori can reach as high as 60%. To protect your family's gastric health, you should use UU Tube for testing when you encounter stomach sicknesses, and consult a doctor if the result is positive.

FAQs

Who should use UU Tube?

UU Tube is especially suitable for the elderly, households with infected persons, families with history of gastric cancer, and people with stomach ailments or residing in crowded or unhygienic living conditions etc.

Is an empty stomach or any medication required prior to testing?

No, no fasting or medication is not required prior to testing.

How often should I conduct the test?

It is advised to test for H. pylori annually as its rates of transmission and infection are very high, regular check-ups with relevant treatments can lower the risk of future complications.
If you have received treatment to H. pylori infection, repeat testing for H. pylori at least 4 weeks after the treatment is recommended. If the test result is positive, you should contact your doctor and seek further treatments.
