Description
Home Colorectal Scan- The HEMOTEK Stool Blood Test is the most advanced home test available to detect hidden blood in the stool, one of the primary early warning signals of many health problems. HEMOTEK is designed to detect blood in the stool that can be caused by bleeding ulcers, hemorrhoids, polyps, colitis, diverticulitis, fissures or cancer of the colon.
HEMOTEK is a simple and sanitary home test requiring no stool handling. The user simply drops a test tissue into the toilet bowl, and if blood is present, a blue-green color will appear within two minutes. The test detects small quantities (2.0mg hemoglobin/100 ml water) of occult (hidden) blood in the stool.
Physicians, hospitals, pharmacies, and even the American Cancer Society utilize the test. With HEMOTEK patients can eat normally before and during the testing period. The simplicity and sanitary method of the test maximizes patient compliance.
The test contains 5 testing pads; a chemical that is used to assure that the product is functioning properly in your home (note: this chemical may cause irritation if not handled properly), and clear instructions. There are enough pads to test 3 consecutive bowel movements. A result card is also provided to record your results and send to your physician. This test does not require a Doctor's visit, however, results should be recorded with your doctor for future reference.
Features of HEMOTEK Convenient, Sanitary – Easy throw-in-the-bowl test. No messy handling of stool. Quick, simple to use – Just drop a test pad in the toilet after a bowel movement. See the results of the test in just 2 minutes. Repeat the test with the next two bowel movements. Easy-to-read results – Test area of pad will turn blue/green if blood is detected. Reliable and Accurate – FDA approved. Clinically proven. Used by hospitals and physicians worldwide. No diet restrictions – Not affected by rare meat or vitamin C. Saves time, money – Does not require lab processing.

- -A foil pouch containing five test tissues
- -One Positive Control package
- -One patient instruction sheet
- -One test result post card for mailing results to a doctor or lab
Suggested Usage
Precautions The kit contents should not be swallowed and must be kept out of the reach of children.
The Positive Control package contains an oxidizing agent. Avoid contact with the eyes, the skin, heat or open flame. In case of an accidental spill or a direct contact, wash the affected area with large amounts of water. If ingested, administer large amounts of water. Do not induce vomiting. Call the poison control center.
The test tissues should be held by the corners. The middle of the test tissue may be sensitive to the touch. Unused test tissues must be kept in their original foil pouch, away from light and moisture. Users are advised to examine the test tissue before use. Any coloration (blue green) in the test area of the test tissue indicates deterioration.
The test should not be performed if the user is bleeding from hemorrhoids, suffering from constipation, or experiencing menstrual bleeding.
Medications Some of the known drugs that cause or affect intestinal bleeding are: aspirin and other analgesic drugs, indomethacin, phenylbutazone, corticosteriods and other anti-inflammatory drugs, reserpine, butazolidine, premorin, and persantine. These drugs may produce gastrointestinal bleeding that may cause positive results. The use of rectal ointments should also be avoided during the testing period.
