Indications for Use
The BreathID Hp Lab System or BreathID Smart System is intended for use to non-invasively measure changes in the 13CO2/12CO2 ratio of exhaled breath, which may be indicative of increased urease production associated with active Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in the stomach. The BreathID Hp Lab System or BreathID Smart System is indicated for use as an aid in the initial diagnosis and post treatment monitoring of H. pylori infection in adult patients and pediatric patients ages 3-17 years old. The BreathID Hp Lab System consists of the appropriate IDkit Hp kit, and the BreathID Hp device, Auto Sampler and Lab Application. The BreathID Smart System consists of the appropriate IDkit Hp kit and the BreathID Smart device. To be administered by trained personnel as ordered by a licensed healthcare practitioner.
Device Story
Non-invasive breath test system for H. pylori detection; utilizes Molecular Correlation Spectroscopy (MCS) to measure 13CO2/12CO2 ratio in exhaled breath. Patient ingests 13C-urea tablet and citric acid; breath samples collected in bags before and after ingestion. Device measures optical absorption of radiation from CO2 discharge lamps to compute Delta over Baseline (DOB). Used in clinical settings by trained personnel; results aid clinicians in diagnosing active infection or monitoring treatment efficacy. Labeling update clarifies that positive results in patients taking proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are considered indicative of H. pylori, while negative results in PPI users may be false negatives requiring re-testing after two-week washout.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; this is a labeling modification submission. Performance characteristics remain unchanged from previously cleared predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Electro-optical medical device; utilizes Molecular Correlation Spectroscopy (MCS) based on optical absorption of specific radiation from CO2 discharge lamps. Includes Auto Sampler, software, and IDkit Hp Two (13C-urea tablet, citric acid, breath collection bags). Connectivity/platform details not specified. No changes to materials or hardware.
Indications for Use
Indicated for initial diagnosis and post-treatment monitoring of H. pylori infection in adults and pediatric patients ages 3-17 years.

Identification
Campylobacter fetus serological reagents are devices that consist of antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye used to identify Campylobacter fetus from clinical specimens or cultured isolates derived from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by this bacterium and provides epidemiological information on these diseases. Campylobacter fetus is a frequent cause of abortion in sheep and cattle and is sometimes responsible for endocarditis (inflammation of certain membranes of the heart) and enteritis (inflammation of the intestines) in humans.
