CHEMTRAK 510(K) FOR H. PYLORI PHYSICIAN-OFFICE TEST will be sent to FDA by year-end, according to the company. ChemTrak says the 510(k) for the physician-use test will be submitted upon completion of multicenter clinical trials involving "a few hundred patients." The "one-step" whole blood test can indicate the presence or absence of H. pylori antibodies "in minutes," ChemTrak says.
