Diagnostica Corporation is proud to announce that they have received clearance by the FDA for their COLONTEST-Sensitive
a patented, 2 minute, self-contained, self-developing
fecal occult home test for the early detection of a number of gastrointestinal disorders, (which release small amounts of blood into the colon), including screening for colorectal cancer.
COLONTEST-Sensitive is the first over-the-counter home test with an on-board chemical developer and sensitivity to match leading brands used in hospitals and doctors offices.
COLONTEST-Sensitive puts the same high quality components together in one easy-to-use package.
COLONTEST-Sensitive gives users their test results privately in just two minutes, and the test is easily repeated to double check results.
A very important feature of COLONTEST-Sensitive is the built-in Performance Indicator that lets the user know the kit is working properly.
Colorectal Cancer is responsible for 56,000 deaths per year in the United States. 150,000 cases are diagnosed each year, and these numbers are steadily rising, particularly in people over 50. Late diagnosis of Colorectal cancer causes many unnecessary early deaths, but when detected early, it has cure rates as high as 90%. Too often, the condition goes undetected until it is at an advanced stage.
Currently, screening for colorectal cancer involves fecal occult blood testing during routine physicals. Over half of the tests now started are never actually completed by the patients.
Until now, screening for colorectal cancer involved many steps and a lot of time spent.
First, patients had to make an appointment with their doctor in order to obtain the test.
Second, the patient goes to their doctor.
Third, the patient must apply stool samples to the card.
Fourth, the patient must then either mail or hand-deliver the test back to their doctor or laboratory for development.
Fifth, then, the patient must deal with the anxiety of waiting for the results to be delivered to their doctor & finally reported back to the patient.
Compliance is poor due to embarrassment and the inconvenience of returning the test.
COLONTEST-Sensitive offers people the ability to quickly, accurately and privately determine, if they have small amounts of gastrointestinal bleeding, which puts them at risk for conditions such as colorectal cancer, hemorrhoids, diverticulitis or gastric ulcers.
