[Article in English, Russian]

Abstract

Biochemical process that lay in the core of non-invasive detection of Helico ho cter pylod with the help of HELIC Ammonia breath test, manufactured by AMA Co Ltd., St.Petersburg, is shown. Patents from various countries, describing ammonia as H.pyiori diagnostic marker, are reviewed. Approaches for evaluation of efficacy of the test-system are analyzed, validation and verification data is provided. High diagnostic characteristics are confirmed by the results of comparative studies on patients of different age groups, reaching 97% sensitivity and 96% specificity.
