The device consists of a nylon thread, 90cm in length, coiled inside a #00 gelatin pharmaceutical capsule. ## Device Story Entero-Test® HP is a specimen collection device consisting of a 90cm nylon thread coiled inside a #00 gelatin capsule. The device is swallowed by an adult patient to collect fluids/mucous from the upper gastrointestinal tract. Once retrieved, the collected specimen is analyzed for the presence of Helicobacter pylori. A pH stick and color chart are included to identify the pH of the retrieved fluids, as pH levels may affect specimen results. The device is used to assist in the diagnosis of H. pylori infection, with biopsy results serving as the clinical gold standard for comparison. No adverse reactions or serious injuries were reported during clinical studies. ## Clinical Evidence Clinical studies conducted in the U.S. and China compared the Entero-Test® HP to biopsy (the gold standard) for the collection of H. pylori. Results indicated an effectiveness rate in excess of 70% (specifically 74% vs 80% recovery) in collecting fluids/mucous containing H. pylori. No adverse reactions or serious injuries were reported. ## Technological Characteristics Device consists of a 90cm nylon thread coiled inside a #00 gelatin pharmaceutical capsule. Includes a pH stick and color chart for specimen pH identification. Sterilized using a validated method. Same materials and design as predicate devices. ## Regulatory Identification A microbiological specimen collection and transport device is a specimen collecting chamber intended for medical purposes to preserve the viability or integrity of microorganisms in specimens during storage of specimens after their collection and during their transport from the collecting area to the laboratory. The device may be labeled or otherwise represented as sterile. The device aids in the diagnosis of disease caused by pathogenic microorganisms. ## Predicate Devices - Entero-Test® (preamendments device) - Entero-Test® Pediatric (preamendments device) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Entero-Test® Pediatric- (preamendments device) | | Device Description: | The Entero-Test® HP is collection device encased in a gelatin capsule. It can be used to collect fluids/mucous in the upper gastrointestinal tract of adults. A pH stick and a color chart are included in each package for the purpose of identifying the pH of the fluids/mucous. | | Intended Use: | The Entero-Test® HP is an in-vitro diagnostic device to be used for the collection of fluid/mucous containing Helicobacter pylori from the upper gastrointestinal tract of adults. The device consists of a nylon thread, 90cm in length, coiled inside a #00 gelatin pharmaceutical capsule. | | Device/Predicate Device Characteristics | The Entero-Test® HP retains the following characteristics of the predicate device:

Both study sites indicate that the Entero-Test® HP is effective in collecting fluids/mucous containing Helicobacter pylori from the upper gastrointestinal tract of adults in excess of seventy percent (70%) when compared to Biopsy test results. | | | In the studies described above, it was noted that the pH of retrieved stomach contents may affect specimen results, and is therefore so stated in the limitations under the Instructions for Use. | | | No adverse reactions or serious injuries were reported from both sites. | | Conclusions: | Entero-Test® HP is a device that can be used to collect fluid/mucous containing Helicobacter pylori from the upper gastrointestinal tract of adults. | {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image is a black and white logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
