How to use the Bowel FOB Home Test Kit?

A. Detach the adhesive ends of the stool-collecting sheet and attach it near the back of your toilet seat. This is to prevent your stool sample from getting wet with urine.

B. Unscrew the vial’s red top and extract the stool-collecting stick. Dip the stick into your stool sample in 3 different points.

C. Screw on the cap again, immersing the stick into the stool extraction liquid, and shake the vial for at least 10 seconds.

D. Break the end of the rep cap of the vial, freeing the dropper portion.

E. Dispense 3 (or no more than 4) drops of the diluted stool sample into the well shown on the strip. Wait 1-2 seconds between dispensing one drop and the next. Wait 5 minutes and read your results.

Note: The stool-collecting sheet is flushable. Detach the sheet from the toilet seat and let everything fall into the toilet. Wait a few seconds for the paper to soften before processing to flush.
