FOBCHECK is a rapid one-step test for the qualitative detection of human haemoglobin in faecal samples. FOBCHECK is designed to help diagnose gastrointestinal disorders and detects human haemoglobin (Hb) with a cut-off level of 40 ng/ml. In addition to possible intestinal diseases such as diverticulitis, colitis, or colon polyps, the blood in the stool sample may indicate an early stage of colorectal cancer. The final diagnosis must be confirmed and treated by a healthcare practitioner.
Hidden blood in the stool can be an indicator of various diseases such as diverticulitis, colitis, colon polyps or colorectal cancer. Screening for hidden blood can significantly reduce mortality from colorectal cancer. In the case of a positive test result, further investigation by a doctor is necessary for correct diagnosis and treatment.
