Clinical Significance
Hemosure® One Step Immunological Fecal Occult Blood Test is a rapid, immunochemical device for the qualitative determination of Fecal Occult Blood. It is useful in determining gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding in a number of GI disorders, e.g. diverticulitis, colitis, polyps, and colorectal cancer.
A more sensitive means for detecting fecal occult blood is important for the diagnosis of diseases that result in gastrointestinal bleeding. Hemosure® One Step Immunological Fecal Occult Blood Test actually detects lower levels of fecal occult blood than the standard guaiac tests by employing an immunospecific, sandwich assay that is not affected by dietary peroxidases, animal blood, or ascorbic acid.
