Hemoccult
II SENSA elite |
| |
The Hemoccult II SENSA elite test is
a rapid, convenient and qualitative method for
detecting fecal occult blood, which may be indicative
of gastrointestinal disease. It is not a test
for colorectal cancer or any other specific
diseases.
Designed to be easier for patients, Hemoccult
II SENSA elite's simplified test card,
clearer Patient Instructions, and sample collection
options make it easier for patients to understand
and complete the test.
Hemoccult II SENSA elite has fewer
diet restrictions than other guaiac-based fecal
occult blood tests and the new diet guidelines
are explained in an easy-to-read format that
tells which foods and drugs the patients need
to avoid and which are okay. And Hemoccult II
SENSA elite incorporates easier processing
for health-care professionals.
Clear, simple developing instructions with one
large back flap and a single Performance Monitor®
make processing and interpreting the tests easier
than ever.
The Hemoccult II SENSA elite test consists
of two main components:
| 1.
|
Hemoccult
II SENSA elite Slides
(Test Cards) containing guaiac paper.
|
| 2.
|
Hemoccult
SENSA Developer, a developing
solution containing a stablized mixture
of less than 4.2% hydrogen peroxide and
80% denatured ethyl alcohol and enhancer
in an aqueous solution. |
Hemoccult II SENSA elite Slides
are designed so patients can collect serial
specimens at home from bowel movements over
three days. After the patient prepares the Hemoccult
II SENSA elite test, it may be returned
in person or by mail (using the Hemoccult Mailing
Pouch) to the laboratory, hospital or medical
office for developing and interpretation.
Polyps and cancer may bleed intermittently.
Hemoccult II SENSA elite triple slides are designed
so patients can collect serial specimens over
three days. This increases the probability of
detecting hidden blood from polyps and cancer.
