Frequently asked questions

What specialized testing do these ICT kits perform?

The Hemoccult ICT Kits are professional diagnostic tools specifically designed for Immunological Fecal Occult Blood Testing (ICT or FOBT). This systematic screening is used in clinical and laboratory settings to detect occult (hidden) blood in samples.

The kits offer comprehensive support for the full testing workflow, available in four distinct configurations:

  • ICT Sample Collection Cards Kit: Provides high-volume supplies, including 100 single collection cards and 100 sample sticks.
  • Patient Screening Kit: A complete set for patient use, featuring physician instructions, 40 patient envelopes, collection devices, sticks, tissues, and a barrier mailing envelope.
  • ICT Test Kit: Contains the components necessary to run the specific test (20 single test cards and 1 bottle of buffer).
  • ICT Control Kit: Essential for quality assurance, supplying two bottles each of Negative Controls and Positive Controls.

Note: Due to the sensitive nature of the materials, the ICT Test and Control Kits are specified to be shipped under temperature-controlled conditions (“Ships on ice”).

Are these kits intended for professional use?

Yes, these HemoCue Hemoccult ICT Kits are professional-grade medical supplies intended exclusively for diagnostic use by qualified medical personnel in clinical or laboratory settings for Immunochemical Fecal Occult Blood testing (ICT).

The kits are available in several configurations, all of which are Factory New:

  • ICT Sample Collection Cards: Includes 100 single collection cards and 100 sample sticks for high-volume use.
  • ICT Test Kit (20 test cards): Contains test cards and buffer solution. Requires special handling (Ships on ice).
  • ICT Control Kit: Features Negative and Positive Controls for quality assurance. Requires special handling (Ships on ice).
  • Patient Collection Screening Kit: Includes 3 collection devices, patient envelopes, tissues, and a barrier mailing envelope. Note: This configuration is a non-returnable item and may be restricted to the Continental US shipping region (including AK & HI).
Are specific kits shipped on ice for integrity?

Yes, certain configurations of the Hemoccult ICT Kits require specialized cold chain shipping (noted as “Ships on ice”) to maintain the integrity and diagnostic effectiveness of the temperature-sensitive components. This ensures the accuracy of crucial testing materials. The configurations requiring temperature-controlled shipping are:

  • ICT Control Kit: This kit includes the necessary Negative and Positive Controls.
  • ICT Test Kit: This configuration contains the 20 Single Test Cards and the required Buffer solution.
Where are the Hemoccult ICT Kits manufactured?

The Hemoccult ICT Kits are manufactured in the US.

What is included in the ICT Sample Collection Cards kit?

The ICT Sample Collection Cards Kit is designed for high-volume use, providing supplies for 100 individual sample collections for immunological fecal occult blood testing (ICT).

This specific configuration includes:

  • 100 Single Collection Cards: Used for capturing patient samples.
  • 100 Sample Sticks: Applicators required for handling and processing the samples.
  • Physician Instructions: Detailed guidance for proper usage and testing procedures.
Is the Hemoccult ICT kit used for fecal samples?

Yes, the HemoCue Hemoccult ICT Kits are specifically designed for diagnostic testing that requires fecal samples.

  • Testing Purpose: The kits utilize Immunochemical Fecal Occult Blood Testing (iFOBT) protocols to detect occult (hidden) blood in the stool, a key procedure in clinical diagnostics.
  • Components: The available kits include necessary items like single collection cards and sample sticks, which are required for the collection and preparation of the fecal samples.
How does the ICT Control Kit ensure quality assurance?

The ICT Control Kit is essential for quality assurance in immunochemical fecal occult blood testing (ICT), verifying the performance and accuracy of your entire testing system before analyzing patient samples.

The kit contains both positive and negative controls to validate procedural and reagent integrity:

  • Positive Controls (2 Bottles): Running the positive control confirms that the reagents, test cards, and testing procedure are all functioning correctly and are capable of detecting a true positive result.
  • Negative Controls (2 Bottles): Running the negative control verifies the test’s specificity, ensuring the system does not produce false-positive results.

By utilizing these controls, clinical settings maintain standardized protocols.

Important Note: To preserve the stability and integrity of the materials, the ICT Control Kit Ships on ice.

What is included in the 3-device screening kit?

This configuration, known as the Patient Screening Kit, provides a comprehensive set of supplies for immunological fecal occult blood testing (ICT). It is delivered in Factory New condition.
