EndoFaster is a high precision device for gastric juice analysis in real time during gastroscopy that enables detection of Helicobacter pylori infection and hypochlorhydric/achlorhydric conditions through the measurement of ammonium concentration and gastric pH. The high accuracy and feasibility of this technology enables a more accurate diagnosis and a reduced number of histologies, focusing the attention of the endoscopist on patients with high risk for cancer progression and limiting or avoiding biopsies on the low-risk ones while also saving costs and time.
