Preparation for the examination

General

  • For testing, a hazelnut-sized stool sample should be collected in a disposable container (without transport medium or preservatives).
  • Until the stool is delivered to the collection point, the sealed container with the collected material should be stored in a cool place, but not longer than 2 days.
  • The container containing the collected material must be signed.

Important

The immunoenzymatic method does not require a meatless diet, as only human hemoglobin is detected.
The test is not performed during menstruation (at least three days after its completion).
For approximately three days before the test, you should refrain from dental procedures (risk of swallowing blood) and discontinue aspirin.

Description
