Clinical Genomics InSure-ONE Fecal Immunochemical Test
3 Easy Steps
InSure® ONE™ is a fecal immunochemical test (FIT) that qualitatively detects human hemoglobin from blood in fecal samples. The samples will generally be collected by the test subject at home and the test developed at laboratories or professional offices. The InSure ONE test is used to aid in the detection of lower gastrointestinal bleeding.
LIMITATIONS OF THIS TEST
- This test detects blood in or on your stool. There are many conditions that may cause blood in your stool so you must follow-up with your doctor if you receive a “positive” test result.
- This test does not replace a physical exam by your doctor.
- A “negative” test result means blood was not found in the sample; however, colorectal lesions may bleed intermittently and blood may not be uniformly distributed in or on the stool, so a negative test result may occur even when a gastrointestinal disease is present.
- Failure to follow the test instructions could affect the test results.
DO THE TEST
- At your next bowel movement
