Breath Hydrogen (H2) Monitoring
Helping Detect Gastro-intestinal Disorders
The Gastro+ is a portable hand-held hydrogen breath test. It is designed to aid in the detection of gastro-intestinal disorders. It can be used as a lactose intolerance test, and to aid in the diagnosis of a variety of gastrointestinal disorders such as fructose intolerance and intestinal bacteria overgrowth.
The Gastrolyzer range is renowned as an accurate hydrogen breath test. The Gastro+ allows faster, easier and more cost-effective diagnosis than the traditional lactose intolerance test and existing screening methods for fructose malabsorption and intestinal bacteria overgrowth.
A new member of the Bedfont Gastrolyzer family is due to be launched in 2011. The portable desktop monitor measures both Hydrogen (H2) and Methane (CH4) levels in expired breath samples, giving patient-side real-time readings.
This monitor is intended for multi-patient use by healthcare professionals in a clinical environment.
