Faecal occult blood IVD kits use rapid immunochromatographic tests (ICT) to detect hidden blood in stool samples, helping identify potential gastrointestinal issues like ulcers or colorectal cancer. These point-of-care or lab-based tests provide quick results—typically within minutes—compared to traditional lab methods, enabling faster clinical decision-making.
These devices are regulated as in vitro diagnostics (IVDs) and are generally classified based on their risk level, though exact regulatory classification varies by jurisdiction. They are typically supplied as ready-to-use kits, requiring minimal preparation, and are designed for professional use in clinical or diagnostic settings—not for home testing.
