Limitations
1. A specimen should not be collected from a patient with the following conditions that may interfere with the test results: Menstrual bleeding, constipation bleeding, bleeding hemorrhoids, urinary bleeding.
2. A negative result can be obtained even when a GI disorder is present. Some bowel lesions, including some polyps and colorectal cancer, may not bleed at all or may bleed intermittently, or the blood may not be uniformly distributed in a fecal sample.
3. Certain medications may cause gastrointestinal irritation resulting in occult bleeding. This may result in a false positive test result.
4. With any occult blood test, Hemosure one step immunological fecal occult blood test may not be considered as a conclusive diagnostic for gasterointestinal bleeding or pathology. The test results can only be regarded as a preliminary screening or as an aid to diagnosis. It is not intended to replace other diagnostic procedures such as G.I. fibroscope, endoscope, colonoscopy, or other x-ray studies.
5. Abnormal human hemoglobins were not tested for potential cross-reactivity.
6. Color blind users may see the control and test lines as gray rather than pink-rose lines.
