چکیده
INTENDED USE HemaPrompt FG is a guaiac-based in-vitro slide method for the qualitative detection of occult blood in feces and gastric aspirate or vomitus by medical professionals only. It is not designed to be sent home with the patient for self-application. For fecal testing, it is a useful aid in the diagnosis of a number of gastro-intestinal disorders, and is recommended for use in 1) routine physical examinations 2) routine hospital testing 3) screening for colorectal cancer or gastro-intestinal bleeding from any other source. For the testing of gastric contents it is used for the early detection of occult blood in conditions such as gastric trauma, gastric or duodenal ulceration, gastric cancer, esophageal varices, situations of likely exogenous or endogenous gastritis, leukemia, and hereditary telangiectasia. These conditions may be encountered in the emergency room, recovery room or intensive care.
