ColonView Fecal Occult Blood Tests
Overview
Ideal tools for colorectal cancer screening
ColonView lateral flow tests are intended for simple detection of fecal occult blood (FOB) in stool samples. The diagnosis of blood is based on highly sensitive immunochemical detection of hemoglobin
or hemoglobin/haptoglobin complex. The principal use of the Biohit ColonView Hb and Hb/Hp tests is to screen for lower gastrointestinal (GI) pathologies, such as colorectal cancers and large adenomas that bleed.
Test kits include:
ColonView combines two tests in a single cassette, Hb and Hb/Hp. The tests come in packs of 30 tests, each including test cassettes and well-equipped Sample Collection Kits that are given to the patient for home sample collection. Each collection kit includes a single Sample Collection Tube; instructions for use; a handy Stool Collection Paper.
The same sample can be used for both Hb and Hb/Hp testing.
ColonView Hb and Hb/Hp tests are simple, onestep lateral flow tests that give results in 15 to 25 minutes.
Benefits:

Clinical background
ColonView Hb Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOB) test was designed to aid diagnosis of lower GI pathologies, such as colorectal cancers and large adenomas that bleed. Colorectal cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers and a leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Screening for colorectal cancer probably increases the cancer detection rate at an early stage, therefore reducing the mortality.
Earlier commercially available FOB tests utilized the guaiac test, which requires special dietary restriction to minimize false positive and false negative results. ColonView Hb tests are specially designed to detect human hemoglobin in stool samples using immunochemical methods, which improves specificity for the detection of lower GI disorders, including colorectal cancers and adenomas.
