Heli-C-CHECK is a rapid test for use at home to detect the presence of Helicobacter pylori antibodies in whole blood. Heli-C-CHECK is intended as an aid in the diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection. The diagnosis must be confirmed and treated by a healthcare practitioner. Each kit contains everything necessary for the test performance: a test cassette, an instruction leaflet, a solution bottle with sample dilution buffer, 1 automatic sterile lancet for comfortable blood sampling, a glass capillary tube, a pipette, an alcohol pad, and a plaster. The results can be read within 10 minutes. One of the most common causes of painful inflammation of the stomach lining with nausea and abdominal discomfort is a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori. The bacteria colonize the stomach lining and release the enzyme Urease. The stomach tries to counteract by increasing the production of gastric acid, disturbing the fragile PH equilibrium. Chronic inflammation in the stomach (gastritis) or ulcers may have further consequences. Helicobacter pylori bacteria can contribute to the development of diseases such as ulcers in the stomach and lymphoma progress (a type of cancer)
