Hemocue America Hemocue Gastroccult Test

Yes, the HemoCue Gastroccult Test is uniquely designed for dual functionality, allowing you to simultaneously detect gastric occult blood (Hb) and determine gastric pH using a single testing device.This rapid system is highly efficient for quick clinical assessment:* pH Results: Available in just 30 seconds.* Occult Blood Results: Available in 60 seconds.For reliable detection of blood, the test includes an integrated on-slide Performance Monitor. This helps ensure accuracy by detecting trace amounts of blood, even in samples containing bile, which reduces the need for subjective visual interpretation.

The HemoCue Gastroccult Test is designed for rapid diagnosis, providing results for its dual functions very quickly:

• Gastric pH determination: Results are available in just 30 seconds.
• Gastric Occult Blood detection: Results are available in 60 seconds.

The integrated on-slide Performance Monitor is a crucial reliability feature engineered to enhance the sensitivity and objectivity of the Gastroccult Test.

It ensures highly accurate results by:

• Detecting Low Blood Levels: It confirms the test’s viability and enhances sensitivity, allowing for the detection of even low concentrations of occult blood.
• Overcoming Interference: The monitor maintains performance and accuracy even in gastric samples containing bile, which commonly interferes with diagnostic testing.
• Minimizing Subjectivity: By providing a clear performance confirmation, it removes the need for subjective visual interpretation, resulting in more dependable clinical assessments.

Yes, the HemoCue Gastroccult Test is CLIA Waived.

This status is a key benefit, as it means the test meets the requirements for use in waived testing environments, simplifying laboratory procedures. This facilitates rapid, reliable diagnostic testing in a wide variety of clinical settings.

Yes, the Hemocue Gastroccult Test includes a convenient pH comparison chart.

This essential reference tool is specifically calibrated to the clinically relevant pH range, which aids in the easy and accurate interpretation of the gastric pH results.

The HemoCue Gastroccult Test components are available in specific configurations, allowing you to order the core test and essential accessories separately:

• Gastroccult Tests & Instructions: The primary test kit is sold in boxes containing 40 test slides for simultaneous occult blood and pH analysis.
• Developer Bottles: The developer solution is supplied in boxes containing 6 bottles (15mL each).
• Applicator Straws: These are available in cases containing 10 bags, with each bag holding 40 applicator straws.

The HemoCue Gastroccult Test system is available in three distinct configurations, including the primary test kit and necessary accessories:

• Gastroccult Tests & Instructions (40 tests/box): This is the main diagnostic kit, providing 40 test slides per box for the simultaneous detection of gastric occult blood and pH.
• Accessories: 15mL Bottles of Developer (6 bottles/box): This accessory provides the essential developer solution, packaged as 6 x 15mL bottles per box.
• Accessories: Applicator Straws (40 straws/bag, 10 bags/case): These straws are available for precise sample application, packaged as 40 straws per bag, with 10 bags per case.

Yes, the HemoCue Gastroccult Test is a rapid, integrated diagnostic tool designed to simultaneously assess two critical parameters using a single gastric sample:

• Gastric Occult Blood (Hb): Results are available in 60 seconds.
• Gastric pH: Results are available in just 30 seconds.

This system is classified as a CLIA Waived test, simplifying use across various clinical settings. Additionally, it features an on-slide Performance Monitor to enhance reliability, ensuring accurate detection of low blood levels even in the presence of bile.

Yes, the Hemocue Gastroccult Test is designed for highly reliable detection of gastric occult blood, along with simultaneous gastric pH measurement.

The reliability is significantly enhanced by the integrated on-slide Performance Monitor. This crucial feature ensures accuracy by:

• Detecting low levels of blood in the sample.
• Maintaining sensitivity even when common interferences, such as bile, are present.
• Removing subjective visual judgment from the assessment.

This is a rapid, in-vitro diagnostic device that is also designated as CLIA Waived.

Yes, the HemoCue Gastroccult Test is a rapid, dual-function in vitro diagnostic device designed to simultaneously detect both parameters in a single test slide. This streamlines diagnostic procedures and provides crucial clinical data quickly.

This CLIA Waived test delivers exceptionally fast results:

• Gastric pH Results: Available in only 30 seconds.
• Gastric Occult Blood (Hb) Results: Available in 60 seconds.

For enhanced reliability, the test incorporates an on-slide Performance Monitor which objectively detects low blood levels, even in samples containing bile.
