Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) -
ColoScreen® & ColoScreen® ES
Discovery Diagnostics is the Canadian
distributor for Helena Laboratories ColoScreen® Screening For
Pre-Symptomatic Occult Bleeding Caused by Gastrointestinal Diseases
For those preferring classic guaiac
paper slides, traditional ColoScreen and new ColoScreen-ES are cost
effective, high quality products. A major issue facing medical staff
today is "How can we lower our costs, but not sacrifice quality?"
One option is to replace higher cost occult blood tests with Helena's
ColoScreen and ColoScreen-ES. With more than 17 years experience
in occult blood products manufacturing, Helena has an outstanding
reputation for low prices and high quality. ColoScreen occult blood
products could save you as much as 40% off the list prices of other
major brands. Additional savings are available with quantity and
standing orders.
"The
Canadian Cancer Society recommends that men and women age 50
and over have a fecal occult blood test at least every two years.
The Society accepts convincing evidence that the death rate from
colorectal cancer can be reduced significantly if this screening
takes place widely among the Canadian population. Colorectal cancer
screening programs should ensure that the most effective technology
for screening is used".
ColoScreen-ES is a lower cost, highest
quality alternative to Beckman® Coulter Hemoccult® Sensa®.
ES means extra sensitive: brighter blue color development makes interpretation
easy. ColoScreen and ColoScreen-ES slides are available as singles
for laboratory use or in convenient triple slides for outpatient use.
Each ColoScreen slide has two sample sites to allow testing from two
different sites of the stool sample. Multiple sampling sites improve
the chance of detecting a true positive. ColoCheck Monitors are impregnated
into the guaiac paper of every slide to ensure proper performance
of the slide and developer. Simply add a drop of developer to each
ColoCheck Monitor and watch for a reaction.
