Prima – Bowel FOB Test
Faecal Occult Blood (FOB) is the presence in the faeces of blood that is not clearly visible to the naked eye. Occult blood may be the consequence of gastro-intestinal disorders such as ulcers, polyps, colitis, diverticulitis, rhagades, haemorrhoids or cancer. The signs of these lesions are often silent in the first phases, so searching for occult blood in the stool is an important screening test, which allows to identify the presence of pathologies in the gastro-intestinal system at an early stage.

WHO ARE THE INTENDED USERS
Everyone, especially over 45 years.
WHY – BENEFITS
Sometimes, the presence of low quantity of blood in stools is not easily noticeable. In these cases BOWEL FOB TEST is useful to detect the presence of blood in the stools even if they look normal in order to prevent more serious diseases.
TEST PRINCIPLE BOWEL FOB TEST
is an immunochromatographic test that detects the smallest amounts of blood in stool samples by using highly specific monoclonal antibodies. These properties mean that the BOWEL FOB TEST does not require particular dietary restrictions before being carried out.

LH AND OVULATION
During the entire childbearing age, the period of time between puberty and menopause, women reproductive system meets monthly a series of structural and functional important changes. This happens because of the continuous changes in estrogen levels and progesterone, hormones that are regulated by the Hypothalamus-Hypophysis-Ovary axis. Their concentrations are different during the 4 phases of menstrual cycle: menstruation, follicular phase, ovulation and luteal phase. During the ovulation phase, which occurs around the 12th/13th day of the menstrual cycle, the level of estrogen in the blood is so high that the hypophysis starts the production of the Luteinizing Hormone (LH), thus determining the break- down of the follicle and the release of the egg cell, ready to be fertilized. The egg cell remains fertilizable up to the next 24 hours. -

Self-test for detecting the presence of the Helicobacter pylori antigen in the faecesHELICOBACTER PYLORI
Helicobacter pylori (Hp) is a bacterium that chronically infects more than half of the world’s population and plays a causative role in the pathogenesis of chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer diseases, gastric cancer and mucosa associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma. The considerable burden of these H. pylori-related outcomes means that there is an acute demand for accurate diagnosis of this infection. Several detection methods have already been developed, such as culture, histological staining, the urea breath test (UBT) but a simple, non-invasive, inexpensive and accurate diagnostic test remains the goal. One of the simplest ways to detect infection is by checking the presence of specific antigens for the bacterium that are excreted through the faeces. HELICOBACTER PYLORI ANTIGEN TEST can detect the presence of these antigens in few minutes. -

PREGNANCY AND hCG
In the very early stages of pregnancy, the fertilized egg is transported from the tubes to the uterus where, around seven days later, it lurks. Precisely at this stage, the tissue that will form the placenta begins to produce the human Chorionic Gonadotropin, also called hCG hormone, essential for the correct development of pregnancy. The quick appearance and rapid increase in the concentration of the hCG hormone in the urine make it an excellent indicator for the early confirmation of pregnancy. -

C-Reactive Protein (CRP) is a non-specific marker mainly produced by the liver and used to diagnose bacterial diseases and inflammatory disorders. CRP is a very sensitive and fast appearing indicator which could therefore be helpful for deciding an antibiotic treatment.
C-REACTIVE PROTEIN TEST should be performed in case of acute infection symptoms such as feverishness, fever, headaches or weakness.
