What is it indicated for?
The FlexSure OBT (Occult Blood Test) is a rapid, visually read, qualitative immunochemical chromatographic method for detection of human hemoglobin from blood in fecal samples. Fecal occult blood tests are useful screening aids for detecting primarily lower gastrointestinal (g.i.) disorders that may be related to iron deficiency anemia, diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis, polyps, adenomas, colorectal cancers or other g.i. lesions that can bleed. FlexSure OBT is recommended for use by health professionals as part of routine physical examinations or when lower g.i. disorders are suspected.
Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
