Urea Breath Test Procedure


Patient Preparation

  • NPO one hour prior to testing.
  • Abstain from antibiotics, proton pump inhibitors, and bismuth 14 days prior to initial testing OR four weeks prior to testing to confirm cure.
  • H2 antagonists may be substituted as these medications do not affect the test results.

Everything needed, but a timer and potable water, is contained in the easy to use BreathTek™ UBT collection kits so you can administer the test right in the physician's office or patient service center. Simply administer the test and send breath samples in the return packaging to our testing laboratory.
