BreathTek UBT may be administered to patients currently taking PPIs

Citric acid–based UBT methods minimize false negative results by reducing pH effects of PPIs17

• It is still recommended that antibiotics, PPIs, or bismuth preparations not be taken within 2 weeks prior to administering BreathTek UBT14

• If patients currently taking PPIs test positive for H. pylori, the result is considered positive and eradication therapy can be started immediately. If the test is negative, it may be a false negative and results should be con� rmed with a second breath test 2 weeks after discontinuing PPIs14

• The effect of histamine 2-receptor antagonists (H2RAs) may reduce urease activity on urea breath tests. H2RAs may be discontinued for 24–48 hours before the BreathTek UBT14

• Use of antacids does not appear to affect the accuracy of the BreathTek UBT14

• Pooled data from 9 published studies of H. pylori–positive patients (N=626) con� rm the performance of the UBT method in patients taking PPIs17

Excellent sensitivity (96%) and speci� city (96%) when con� rming eradication in adults*14

* Data are weighted mean values. Compilation of data is not the result of a comparative study.

† Serology is not effective in post-treatment testing because it cannot distinguish between active and past infection.

ELISA, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

When using BreathTek UBT, false negative test results may be caused by: • Ingestion of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) within 2 weeks prior to

performing the BreathTek UBT. If a negative result is obtained from a patient ingesting a PPI within 2 weeks prior to the BreathTek UBT, it may be a false-negative result and the test should be repeated 2 weeks after discontinuing the PPI treatment. A positive result for a patient on a PPI could be considered positive and be acted upon

• Ingestion of antibiotics, or bismuth preparations within 2 weeks prior to performing the BreathTek UBT

• Premature POST-DOSE breath collection time for a patient with a marginally positive BreathTek UBT result

• Post-treatment assessment with the BreathTek UBT less than 4 weeks after completion of treatment for the eradication of H. pylori

False positive test results may be caused by: • Urease associated with other gastric spiral organisms observed in

humans such as Helicobacter heilmannii or achlorhydria

• Oral contamination associated with urease containing bacteria especially when not using the straw provided in the BreathTek UBT kit

25%Eradication therapy may fail in 25% of patients—partly because of increased antibiotic resistance9,18

Please see accompanying BRIEF SUMMARY and enclosed Current Package Insert.

ACG guidelines do not support serologic testing in populations with low H. pylori prevalence2

Stool testing is associated with relatively low patient compliance23

• Serologic tests cannot distinguish active H. pylori infection from past infection2

• If serology is used, positive results should be con� rmed with a test of active infection2

• In one study, more patients returned for a post-treatment UBT vs a stool test (N=29)24

• In a separate study of fecal occult blood testing, the overall compliance rate was 17.9% (N=1940)23

†Assumes a 30% H. pylori prevalence rate.

With serologic testing,

1 out of every 3positive test results may be wrong†2,21,22

Con� rm the cure with BreathTek UBT

Symptom resolution does not always mean treatment success

• Antibiotic resistance is on the rise9—and may be the strongest predictor of treatment failure19

• Patients may not complete their full course of therapy20

ACG* calls the UBT method “the most reliable nonendoscopic test…” to con� rm

H. pylori eradication.2

BreathTek UBT—easy for you and your patient

BreathTek UBT

It takes only 4 simple steps to administer

1. Collect baseline sample by having the patient inhale, hold their breath momentarily, then exhale into the blue bag. Place cap on the bag and press down until it snaps to prevent sample loss.

2. Thoroughly mix the entire Pranactin®-Citric packet with water in the plastic container. Close the lid securely by pressing down until you hear a click and swirl until dissolved up to 2 minutes. The patient must drink the solution using the plastic straw provided.

3. Wait 15 minutes.

4. Collect the second breath sample in the pink bag using the same procedure as Step 1. Breath sample may be collected no later than 30 minutes POST-DOSE. Place cap on the bag and press down until it snaps to prevent sample loss.

Samples are good for 7 days, at room temperature, after collection.

Brief Summary about BreathTek UBT

Intended UseThe BreathTek® UBT for H. pylori Kit (BreathTek UBT Kit) is intended for use in the qualitative detection of urease associated with H. pylori in the human stomach and is indicated as an aid in the initial diagnosis and post-treatment monitoring of H. pylori infection in adult patients and pediatric patients 3 to 17 years old. The test may be used for monitoring treatment if used at least 4 weeks following completion of therapy. For these purposes, the system utilizes an Infrared Spectrophotometer for the measurement of the ratio of 13CO2 to 12CO2 in breath samples, in clinical laboratories or point-of-care settings. The Pediatric Urea Hydrolysis Rate Calculation Application (pUHR-CA), provided as a web-based calculation program, is required to obtain pediatric test results.

The BreathTek UBT Kit is for administration by a health care professional, as ordered by a licensed health care practitioner.

Warnings and Precautions• For in vitro diagnostic use only. The Pranactin®-Citric solution is taken

orally as part of the diagnostic procedure and contains Phenylalanine (one of the protein components of Aspartame), 84 mg per dosage unit. (For reference, 12 ounces of typical diet cola soft drinks contain approximately 80 mg of Phenylalanine.)

• A negative result does not rule out the possibility of H. pylori infection. False negative results do occur with this procedure. If clinical signs are suggestive of H. pylori infection, retest with a new sample or an alternate method.

• False negative test results may be caused by: — Ingestion of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) within 2 weeks prior to

performing the BreathTek UBT. If a negative result is obtained from a patient ingesting a PPI within 2 weeks prior to the BreathTek UBT, it may be a false-negative result and the test should be repeated 2 weeks after discontinuing the PPI treatment. A positive result for a patient on a PPI could be considered positive and be acted upon.

— Ingestion of antibiotics, or bismuth preparations within 2 weeks prior to performing the BreathTek UBT.

— Premature POST-DOSE breath collection time for a patient with a marginally positive BreathTek UBT result.

— Post-treatment assessment with the BreathTek UBT less than 4 weeks after completion of treatment for the eradication of H. pylori.

• False positive test results may be caused by:— Urease associated with other gastric spiral organisms observed in

humans such as Helicobacter heilmannii or achlorhydria.— Oral contamination associated with urease containing bacteria

especially when not using the straw provided in the BreathTek UBT Kit.

11

• If particulate matter is visible in the reconstituted Pranactin-Citric solution after thorough mixing, the solution should not be used.

• Patients who are hypersensitive to mannitol, citric acid or Aspartame should avoid taking the drug solution as this drug solution contains these ingredients. Use with caution in patients with difficulty swallowing or who may be at high risk of aspiration due to medical or physical conditions.

• The safety of using the BreathTek UBT Kit during pregnancy and lactation is not established.

• For pediatric test results, the Urea Hydrolysis Rate (UHR) results must be calculated. Delta over Baseline (DOB) results in conjunction with the Pediatric Urea Hydrolysis Rate Calculation Application (pUHR-CA), provided as a web-based calculation program, is required to obtain pediatric test results. DOB results cannot be used to determine the infection status of pediatric patients. Use the web-based pUHR-CA (https://BreathTekKids.com) to calculate the UHR.

• Safety and effectiveness has not been established in children below the age of 3 years.

Adverse EventsDuring post-approval use of the BreathTek UBT in adults, the following adverse events have been identified: anaphylactic reaction, hypersensitivity, rash, burning sensation in the stomach, tingling in the skin, vomiting and diarrhea. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.

In two clinical studies conducted in 176 (analyzed) pediatric patients ages 3 to 17 years to determine the initial diagnosis and post treatment monitoring of H. pylori, the following adverse events experienced by ≥1% of these patients were: vomiting (5.1%), oropharyngeal pain (4.5% to include throat irritation, sore throat, throat burning), nausea (2.3%), restlessness (2.3%), stomach ache/belly pain (1.1%), and diarrhea (1.1%). Most of the adverse events were experienced by patients within minutes to hours of ingestion of the Pranactin-Citric solution.

In another clinical study comparing the UBiT®-IR300 and POCone® in pediatric patients ages 3 to 17 years, the following adverse events were observed among the 99 subjects enrolled: 2 incidences of headache, and 1 incidence each of cough, dry mouth and acute upper respiratory infection.
