Important Medical Information
Fecal occult blood (blood in the stool that is not visible to the naked eye) is
one of the few consistent and detectable symptoms of both colon and rectal
cancer.
A positive Colon Health Check test means there is blood in the stool, which
could be caused from bleeding ulcers, polyps, colon or rectal cancer, use of
aspirin, bleeding hemorrhoids, bloody nose and numerous other causes. If your
test results are positive, see your doctor immediately.
Colon Health Check is a fecal occult blood test and cannot directly determine
if you have colon or rectal cancer. Colon Health Check does not prevent or cure
either colon or rectal cancer.
Colon Health Check should only be used as directed. When using Colon Health
Check, please be advised of the following:
-
Do not perform the test during menstrual bleeding or if you have bleeding
hemorrhoids.
-
Alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen and other medications taken in excess may cause
gastrointestinal irritation resulting in blood in the stool. Stop taking these
and similar substances at least 48 hours before testing.
-
If you have a negative result but have one or more of the following symptoms
consult your physician: diarrhea or constipation lasting longer than two weeks,
unexplained weight loss, visible blood in the stool, or dark black stool.
-
Do not use the Test Cassette after the expiration date marked on the foil
package. Do not use the Sample Collection tube after the expiration date marked

extraction is harmless if spilled; however, spills should be cleaned up
immediately using tap water.
-
Store at room temperature: 59° - 82°F (15° - 28°C).
-
Do not open the Test Cassette until you are ready to perform the test. If the
