Faecal occult blood test

 

[[titleTag|See instructions below for faecal occult blood test.]]

When collecting the sample, the following must be considered:

• Use a special sample container with a buffer solution* for sampling. You can ask for them at the sampling point or by ordering an analysis as a TESTI ISE service at a Smartpost parcel machine.
• The use of handy (home) test containers is not permitted.
• PLEASE NOTE! Be careful with the thin plastic tip of the sample container. If the plastic tip is broken, the sample material leaks, and the sample is not suitable for testing.
• It is not recommended to collect the sample:
• If there is visible blood in the stool
• During menstruation
• In case of bleeding haemorrhoids
• In case of diarrhoea
• Rectal procedures are not recommended during the week before sampling.

* It is a toxic substance that is toxic if swallowed, in contact with the skin or inhaled. The concentrate causes skin corrosion and eye damage.
Please contact your doctor or Poison Information Center (tel 16662) immediately if you suspect overdose.
