Faecal specimen container IVD, no additive

Faecal specimen containers (no additive) are single-use plastic receptacles designed for collecting, preserving, and transporting stool samples. Clinically, they enable safe handling of faecal matter for laboratory testing, such as culture or microscopic analysis, ensuring specimen integrity during transport.

These devices are typically classified as in vitro diagnostics (IVDs) and are regulated under medical device frameworks depending on jurisdiction. They are widely available as single-use items, often supplied in sterile packaging for direct clinical or home use, with no chemical additives to alter the specimen.
