The Rapid Response® Fecal Immunochemical Test is a rapid, qualitative test for the determination of human occult blood in feces, to aid in the early detection of gastrointestinal problems such as colorectal cancer. The test may be used during routine physical examinations, in hospitals to monitor patient bleeding, or as a screening tool for colorectal cancer or gastrointestinal bleeding from any source. Unlike guaiac assays, the accuracy of this test is not affected by the diet of the patients. It is intended for in vitro diagnostic use only.
Kit contains three boxes each with 12 tests (Total of 36 tests per kit).
- 12 individual pouches each with a test cassette per box (Kit contains 3 boxes)
- 12 specimen collection tubes with extraction buffer per box (Kit contains 3 boxes)

Gastrointestinal diseases may cause occult (hidden) blood in stool. In the early stages, gastrointestinal problems such as colon cancer, ulcers, polyps, colitis, diverticulitis, and fissures may not show any visible symptoms, only occult blood. Traditional quaiac-based method lacks sensitivity and specificity to test for fecal occult blood and has diet-restriction prior to the testing.
The Rapid Response™ FIT – Fecal Immunochemical Test is a rapid test to qualitatively detect low levels of fecal occult blood in feces. The test uses double antibody sandwich assay to selectively detect as low as 50 ng/mL of hemoglobin or 6 µG hemoglobin/g feces. In addition, unlike the guaiac assays, the accuracy of the test is not a ected by the diet of the patients.
