SELFCheck Bowel Faecal Immunochemical Test (FIT)

SELFCheck Bowel Faecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) – Rapid, Private Bowel Health Screening

Screen for early signs of bowel cancer from the comfort of home with the SELFCheck Bowel Faecal Immunochemical Test (FIT), a CE-certified, rapid test that detects hidden blood in stool, a potential indicator of colon polyps or colorectal cancer. With over 40,000 new bowel cancer cases annually in the UK, early detection is critical, as 97% of early-stage cases are treatable. This test, using the faecal immunochemical method (FIT), delivers visual results in under 10 minutes, requiring only a small stool sample. Its 40µg Hb/g faeces detection limit is more sensitive than most NHS screening programs (80–150µg/g as of October 2023), yet balanced to minimize false positives.

The kit includes 1 sample container with buffer solution and collection stick, 1 sealed foil pouch with a test cassette and desiccant, and an instruction leaflet. Assembled in the UK under ISO13485 standards, it boasts over 93% agreement with lab tests (95% CI: 86.78–97.17). Collect a stool sample at any time of day—no dietary restrictions needed, unlike older FOB tests. A positive result (two lines) suggests blood presence; consult a GP for further tests like colonoscopy. Negative results with symptoms (e.g., rectal bleeding, weight loss, changed bowel habits) still require medical advice due to intermittent polyp bleeding.
