Colorectal Screening (FIT) Home Collection Kit

This test detects human hemoglobin (a protein found in red blood cells) in your stool sample. Trace amounts of blood are detected using hemoglobin-specific antibodies, which may otherwise go unnoticed. These antibodies are specific to human hemoglobin and do not react with animal hemoglobin found in foods such as red meat.

A microscopic amount of blood in the stool can be an early sign of gastrointestinal disorders, like colon cancer. Blood in your feces may indicate lower gastrointestinal bleeding associated with conditions such as hemorrhoids, diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis, polyps, colorectal lesions, or cancer. A colon polyp is an abnormal clump of cells that forms on the colon's lining and is associated with an increased risk of colon cancer. While many colon polyps are harmless, some polyps, if not removed, could develop into colon cancer. Screening enables the early detection of colorectal cancer, and routine screening may aid in preventing colorectal cancer.

This screening tool cannot determine the specific cause or source of bleeding. It is the first step in the screening process and does not diagnose gastrointestinal conditions or colorectal cancer. A positive result may not mean that you have colon cancer—it simply means you need to share the results with your healthcare provider to discuss next steps, which may include a colonoscopy.

This test is appropriate for gastrointestinal disorders screening in adults without symptoms of colon cancer. It is not recommended for individuals with symptoms. If you experience the following signs or symptoms, contact a healthcare provider immediately.  

• Persistent abdominal pain or bloating
• Rectal bleeding
• Bloody stools
• Weakness and fatigue
• Unintentional weight loss
• Changes in bowel habits lasting for more than a few days (diarrhea, constipation, thin stools)
• Constant feeling of needing to have a bowel movement that is not alleviated by having one

This test is for those without symptoms of colorectal cancer. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends that adults aged 45 to 75 be screened annually for colorectal cancer.¹ You must be 18 years of age or older to purchase. Purchases not permitted in: AK, AZ, HI.
