ColoKit

This is a Take home test to screen for risk of colon cancer.

The two smaller boxes on the bottom of the ColoCARE pad are there to determine if the ColoCARE pad is working correctly. In 30 seconds, the small box on the left, as shown below, should turn blue and/or green, but the small box on the right should not turn blue and/or green. If these boxes do not work as described above, the pad should be discarded. You will need to repeat the test after the next bowel movement.

The test results are determined by the presence of a blue and/or green color in the ColoCARE Test Area (large square at the top of the pad). If color develops in this square, it may not be the same shade or intensity as the smaller square. Any blue and/or green color in the large square of one or more of the pads may mean blood is present. CONTACT YOUR DOCTOR as soon as possible.

Using the first diagram on the Reply Card provided, mark an "X" in all areas (large and small square areas) that turned a blue and/or green color. Flush the pad and the stool specimen. Repeat this procedure with the next two bowel movements, and mark the appropriate diagram. Return the properly completed card to your healthcare professional.
