PRIMA Lab Bowel FOB Test is a self-test for the detection of occult blood in the feces.
The acronym FOB (Fecal Occult Blood) indicates the presence of occult blood in the stool, due to various gastrointestinal disorders such as: polyps, ulcers, colitis, diverticula, rhagades, hemorrhoids or tumor.
The symptoms of these lesions are often silent in the early stages, for this reason the search for occult blood in the feces represents an important screening test that allows to early identify the presence of pathologies affecting the gastrointestinal system.
PRIMA Lab Bowel FOB Test is useful for identifying the presence of blood in the stool, in some cases not identifiable with the naked eye, especially over 45 years of age. In some cases, the presence of occult blood in the stool is not clearly visible to the naked eye, so it is useful to use devices capable of doing so, without food restrictions before its use.
PRIMA Lab Bowel FOB is an immunochromatographic device that detects the smallest amounts (above 40 ng/mL) of occult blood in stool samples.
