Cat. Num.: ABT-FOB-B22

INTENDED USE :
Rapid FOB Test is a rapid, visual immunochromatographic test for the qualitative detection of human blood hemoglobin in fecal samples. This test is intended as an aid in the diagnosis of lower gastrointestinal (g.i.) disorders. The test is recommended for rofessional use.

FOR IN VITRO DIAGNOSTIC USE ONLY.

The principal use of FOB test is to screen for lower g.i. pathologies, such as colorectal cancers and large adenomas thatbleed. Colorectal cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosedcancers and a leading cause of cancer death in the UnitedStates (Lieberman, 994; MMWP, 1995). Screening for colorectal cancer probably increases the cancer detection at an early stage, therefore reduces the mortality (Dam et. al., 1995; Miller, 1995; and Lang, 1996). Earlier commercially availableFOB tests utilized the guaiac test, which equires special dietary restriction to minimize false positive and false negative results.One Step FOB Test are specially designed to detect humanhemoglobin in fecal samples using Immunochemical methods,which improved specificity for the detection of lower g.i. isordersincluding colorectal cancers and adenomas (Frommer et. al., 1988; St. John et. al., 1993).
