SUPPLEMENTARY CLINICAL STUDY EZ DETECT™ VS. HEMOCCULT®
Test System
Positives
Negatives
Total Specimens
Total Patients
When testing three consecutive bowel movements, EZ Detect™ and Hemoccult® give equivalent results. EZ Detect™ may not require three consecutive testing, according to the detailed data.*
The other apparent discrepancies are easily explained by experimental error or Hemoccult® giving false positive or false negative results (as shown in the detailed data)*, which may be attributed to patient non-compliance to dietary restrictions.

STATEMENTS: EZ Detect™ is an approved test for detecting hidden stool blood that could be caused by a variety of bowel problems including colorectal cancer, diverticulitis, colitis, hemorrhoids, etc. That test requires no diet restrictions (including vitamin C) before or during testing. EZ Detect™ was also found to be sensitive for upper gastrointestinal bleeding. EZ Detect™ is superior to the Hemoccult® test because of its simplicity, which facilitates better patient compliance. The test is sanitary, easy to use and is performed in the privacy of the home. The user just drops the pad into the toilet bowl after a bowel movement and the result appears within 2 minutes. By contrast, the Hemoccult® test is complicated, unsanitary and lengthy because the patient must collect and handle stools, send a stool specimen to a laboratory for analysis, and then wait for the results.
