Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical diagnostic equipment technology, and in particular to a Helicobacter pylori detector. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of gastrointestinal disease research and treatment, the detection of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) plays a crucial role. Hp is a Gram-negative bacterium that can survive in the extremely acidic environment of the human stomach and is closely related to the development of chronic gastritis, peptic ulcers, and even gastric cancer. Given its potential threat to human health, early diagnosis and treatment of Hp infection are of paramount importance.

[0003] Currently, there are various methods for detecting *Helicobacter pylori* (Hp), encompassing both invasive and non-invasive categories. Invasive methods, such as endoscopic biopsy, allow direct observation of the gastric mucosa and sample collection, but the patient experience is poor and carries certain risks of trauma. Non-invasive methods, such as the urea breath test, are the gold standard widely used in clinical practice due to their non-invasive and rapid nature. This test is based on the fact that *Hp* secretes large amounts of urease, which breaks down ingested urea into carbon dioxide and ammonia. The marker carbon isotopes (such as C2O3) in the subject's exhaled breath are measured. 14 Or C 13 The content of Hp indirectly reflects the presence of Hp.

[0004] During the testing process, the patient first collects their exhaled breath on a special breathalyzer card, which is then handed over to medical staff for further processing. At this point, the sealing stickers on both sides of the breathalyzer card need to be removed so that it can be inserted into a specialized testing device for CT scans. 14 Radiation testing. This process, though seemingly simple, actually increases the workload of frontline medical staff, and the removal of the sticker exposes the breathalyzer to the air for a brief period, theoretically posing a risk of external contaminants interfering with the test results.

The negative pressure pump is activated, creating negative pressure at the negative pressure hole to attract the sticker. Then, the electromagnet is energized again, generating magnetism to attract the hollow negative pressure shell, and the drive motor drives the hollow negative pressure shell to pull the sticker forward, causing the hollow negative pressure shell to attract the sticker and tear it off the exhalation card. Subsequently, the drive motor drives the hollow negative pressure shell to pull the sticker backward to above the drop opening. Finally, the negative pressure pump stops working, the negative pressure is lost, and the sticker falls into the waste drawer. Then, the Geller counter records the C on the exhalation card. 14 By conducting the test, Helicobacter pylori can be detected indirectly.
