The Simple/Stick H.pyl* and Simple H.pyl-Tf rapid tests for professional use are designed for the qualitative detection of active H. pylori infection and the presence of gastrointestinal bleeding in human faeces, detectable by transferrin. Their one-step technology provides results in minutes with high reliability, facilitating immediate diagnosis and enabling point-of-care (PoC) decision making. These tests are essential tools for both initial diagnosis and post-treatment confirmation of eradication, optimising patient management and improving efficiency in hospitals, clinics and laboratories.
Timely diagnosis at the point of patient care (PoC) is critical to prevent serious complications. International clinical guidelines, such as those of the EHSG, emphasise the importance of rapid and accurate screening tests. In addition, transferrin is a relevant marker to identify bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract, which may indicate advanced lesions caused by this bacterium or other factors.
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a gram-negative bacterium that colonises the human gastric epithelium and is associated with multiple digestive pathologies. H. pylori infection is highly prevalent, with rates ranging from 28% to 84% depending on the population. Early detection is key, as it can lead to chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (MALT) and gastric adenocarcinoma.

No. Both tests are designed for use by healthcare professionals only.
Both tests are qualitative.
It is not recommended to use samples with preservation agents (such as formalin, PBS, PVA or similar) or enrichment media, as their presence could interfere with the correct performance of the tests.
It is recommended to test fresh untreated samples. If they have to be stored for a period of time, they can be kept in the refrigerator (+2-8°C) for 1 to 3 days. For longer periods, they should be frozen at -20°C (ideally after collection).
Transferrin is a very stable biomarker that can detect bleeding in the stomach and duodenum, areas where haemoglobin tends to break down. This makes it an ideal complement to H. pylori diagnosis, as ulcers and upper gastrointestinal bleeding can be complications of this infection.
Detecting it provides a more complete picture of the patient’s condition.
