A rapid diagnostic cassette designed to detect fecal occult blood—small, invisible amounts of blood in the stool that may indicate gastrointestinal bleeding. It aids in the screening of colorectal cancer. If a positive result is obtained, consult a doctor for further evaluation.
Why test for occult blood?
Minor intestinal bleeding often goes unnoticed, yet it can be caused by polyps, hemorrhoids, ulcers, inflammatory bowel diseases, or colorectal cancer. Because early-stage colorectal cancer frequently presents no symptoms, routine screening is recommended based on age, family history, altered bowel habits, or unexplained anemia. A positive result does not constitute a definitive diagnosis; consult a specialist for follow-up testing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is fecal occult blood? It is blood present in the stool that cannot be seen with the naked eye. It may stem from hemorrhoids, polyps, inflammation, or other bowel conditions, which is why a positive result requires medical evaluation.
Who is the FOB test intended for? Anyone seeking to monitor their intestinal health, particularly individuals over 50 or those with a family history of gastrointestinal conditions.
Does a negative result guarantee good health? It indicates that no blood was detected in the tested sample. If you experience abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, or visible blood, consult a healthcare provider regardless of the result.
Rapid home tests provide preliminary screening results and do not replace professional medical consultation.
How to perform the test:
1. Allow the specimen and buffer to reach room temperature (15–30 °C).
2. Collect the stool into the stool collection device to prevent it from coming into contact with toilet water or cleaning agents.
3. Unscrew the cap of the collection tube and stab the specimen collection applicator into the stool in at least 3 different places. Do not scoop the specimen.
4. Screw the cap tightly and shake well to mix the specimen with the buffer.
5. Open the foil pouch and place the cassette on a flat surface. Use immediately.
6. Hold the tube vertically, open the tip, invert it, and add 2 full drops (approx. 80 µ l) into the sample well (S). Avoid air bubbles. Start the timer.
7. Read the result after 5 minutes. Do not interpret after 10 minutes.
Interpretation of results:
Positive: two lines (C and T). Any, even faint, T line is considered a positive result. Blood detected – consult a doctor.
Negative: C line only. No blood detected.
Invalid: C line is missing. Most commonly due to insufficient specimen volume or a missed step. Repeat with a new test.
The ingredients are constantly updated. Before using a product, please read the list of ingredients on its packaging to ensure they are suitable for your personal use.
