Particularly efficient in screening for lactose intolerance, the Lactotest 102 also gives a good indication of small intestinal bacterial proliferations and evaluates intestinal transit time. The electrochemical sensor H2, with thermal compensation, supplies a reliable, fast and economic system of measurement.
Lactotest 102
01 Overview
Lactotest 102 has been developed to provide a rapid and reliable diagnosis of gastric-intestinal disorders through the measuring of a shortage and/or mal-absorption of the composition of carbohydrates.

03 Advantages for the patient
| Applications | Detection of mal-absorption of carbohydrates Mal-absorption and/or Lactose intolerance Intolerance to Fructose/Glucose/Lactulose/ Sorbitol/d-Xylose/Xylitol Diagnosis of small intestinal bacterial proliferations (SIBO) Diagnosis of intestine transit time |
| Non-invasive | Sampling through the collection of gas breathed |
| Software | Database integration, report creation, possibility of IT network connection |
| Calibration | Once a week with pre-mixed calibrator gas |
| Costs | The modular construction minimises the costs of production and maintenance |
04 Patient Data interface (PDI)
All Lactotests are interactive systems that are interfaced with easy to use MEC software for the database integration, the transfer of results in Hospital Computer Systems (XML, HL7, etc) or simply to save or print the results directly in Microsoft Word.
The PDI software centralises all the patient data obtained from a series of medical tests. The data can then be visualised numerically or graphically. In case of need of assistance, MEC has developed a remote support service accessible via internet for both hardware and software
