Frequently asked questions
Does this test require specific dietary restrictions?
No, this test is entirely diet-independent. Unlike traditional guaiac-based tests, the Rapid Response FIT detects human hemoglobin specifically, so it is not influenced by the intake of red meat or other peroxidase-rich foods. This ensures higher accuracy and greater patient comfort.
Is this kit suitable for use in smaller clinical settings?
Yes. Because this test is CLIA-waived, it is cleared for use in a wide variety of professional healthcare environments, including point-of-care settings, clinics, and physician offices.
How quickly can I expect the test results?
The test is designed for maximum efficiency. It utilizes a lateral flow cassette format that delivers clear, visual results in just 5 minutes, allowing for rapid diagnostic decision-making during patient consultations.
What specific type of blood does this test detect?
This test is highly specific to human hemoglobin. By targeting human blood specifically, it provides a reliable indicator for lower gastrointestinal bleeding, which is a critical marker for early-stage colorectal cancer screening.
Does the kit come with everything needed to collect samples?
Yes, each box includes a complete set of components to facilitate testing right out of the box:
- 36 Test Cassettes
- 36 Specimen Collection Tubes pre-filled with extraction buffer
- A detailed product insert for standardized procedures.
Is the test method reliable for colorectal cancer screening?
Yes, it is a professional-grade diagnostic tool. By using an immunological method (FIT) rather than a chemical one, the test offers superior specificity for lower gastrointestinal bleeding compared to older guaiac-based methods.
How many tests are included in each shipment?
Each box contains 36 complete tests, making it an efficient choice for busy clinical workflows that require consistent screening availability.
Are there special storage requirements for the extraction buffer?
The kit is supplied with dedicated specimen collection tubes that come pre-filled with the necessary extraction buffer, ensuring that samples are prepared correctly for the lateral flow process without requiring additional reagent preparation.
Can this test be used to detect upper GI bleeding?
This test is specifically engineered to detect human occult blood associated with lower gastrointestinal bleeding. It is primarily utilized as a screening tool to aid in the early detection of colorectal cancer.
Is the reading process simple for staff to perform?
Absolutely. The system uses a straightforward visual read format. After applying the sample, staff simply check the reading window on the cassette after the 5-minute wait time for clear, qualitative results.
