Abstract
A method and device for collecting and testing fecal occult blood which permits multiple analyses of a single fecal sample. The device is a combination of a sampler for collecting the fecal matter and a test slide. The fecal sampler comprises a pocket-like wipe pad for obtaining direct anal stool smears. An insert is disposed in the pocket of the wipe pad. The slide has a profiled opening similar to the design of the wipe pad. This opening acts as a receptacle for the pad when the fecal smear is transferred to the guaiac specimen receiving sheet of the slide. When the slide is closed the insert can be removed from the wipe pad. This design permits an analysis to be done on the specimen receiving sheet of the slide together with a second confirmatory test for human hemoglobin on portions of the insert. The fecal material on the insert is physically removed from the guaiac specimen receiving sheet.
