FDA approves Gastric Emptying Breath Test, a non invasive test to diagnose gastroparesis -Advanced Breath Diagnostics

The FDA has approved the Gastric Emptying Breath Test (GEBT) from Advanced Breath Diagnostics, a new non-invasive test to aid in the diagnosis of delayed gastric emptying, known as gastroparesis. Current tests used to diagnose gastroparesis typically involve the use of a small amount of radioactive material or imaging equipment, so testing must be conducted in specialized outpatient centers. The GEBT can be used in broader settings.
