1. Product Introduction
- Product Overview: The FOB Tube (Fecal Occult Blood Test Tube) developed by Xiamen Zhizi Industry & Trade Co., Ltd. is a professional medical device designed for early screening of digestive tract diseases. It is mainly used to collect and process fecal samples to detect occult blood, providing a key tool for the early warning of diseases such as gastric cancer and colorectal cancer. The FOB Tube adopts an integrated structure, combining sample collection, dilution and reaction functions, which simplifies the complex sample processing steps in traditional tests. It is suitable for medical institutions, physical examination centers and other scenarios, and has been recognized by many professionals for its high reliability and stability.
- Product Performance: The FOB Tube has excellent performance in sample preservation and detection accuracy. Its built-in special buffer solution can prevent the oxidation and degradation of hemoglobin in fecal samples, ensuring the stability of target substances within 48 hours. The tube body is made of high-transparency medical-grade PP material, which is convenient for observing the mixing state of samples and dilution solution. In addition, the FOB Tube has good compatibility, and can be perfectly matched with various mainstream fecal occult blood detection reagents and instruments on the market, ensuring the accuracy of detection results. The tightness of the tube cap is strictly tested, and there is no leakage even under centrifugation at 3000rpm, effectively avoiding cross-contamination.
2. Product Advantages
- High Detection Accuracy Ensured by Professional Design: The FOB Tube is designed with a "double-cavity layered sampling structure" to solve the problem of inaccurate sampling in traditional tests. The inner sampling spoon can accurately control the sample volume at 0.1-0.2g, which is the optimal sampling amount verified by a large number of experiments. Too much sample will dilute the reagent and affect the detection value, while too little sample may lead to missed detection. The outer buffer cavity is pre-filled with a special dilution solution containing occult blood protection factors, which can lock the hemoglobin in the sample in time, preventing its oxidation and ensuring the accuracy of detection results. Compared with ordinary test tubes, the FOB Tube can improve the detection rate of occult blood by more than 15%, greatly reducing the occurrence of false negative results.
- Efficient Operation with One-Step Process: The FOB Tube innovates the "integrated sampling and reaction" mode, which simplifies the traditional multi-step operation. In the past, the fecal occult blood test required separate sampling, putting samples into dilution solution, oscillating and mixing, and then transferring to the detection card, which was not only time-consuming but also easy to cause sample pollution. With the FOB Tube, users only need to collect samples with the built-in sampling spoon, then put the sampling spoon back and screw the tube cap tightly. The puncture needle in the tube cap will automatically break the diaphragm of the buffer cavity, and the dilution solution and samples will be mixed evenly quickly. The whole sample pretreatment process can be completed in 30 seconds, which shortens the operation time by 60% and improves the detection efficiency significantly.
- High Safety with Medical-Grade Materials: The FOB Tube is made of medical-grade PP material, which has passed strict biocompatibility tests, including cytotoxicity test and sensitization test. It has no toxic or side effects on human body and will not react with chemical substances in fecal samples, ensuring the authenticity of detection results. The tube body and tube cap are connected by a double-helix sealing structure, and a food-grade silicone gasket is added to ensure tightness. It can withstand a water pressure test of 1.2MPa without leakage, which not only prevents the leakage of fecal samples during transportation and centrifugation, but also protects medical staff from biological pollution, complying with the safety standards of medical sample containers.
- Wide Compatibility for Various Detection Methods: The FOB Tube has been optimized for the sample processing system, which can be compatible with more than 95% of the fecal occult blood detection methods on the market. Whether it is the immunochromatography method (colloidal gold method) commonly used in primary medical institutions, the chemical method (o-toluidine method) or the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) used in large hospitals, the samples pretreated by the FOB Tube can be directly used for detection without adjusting the reagent ratio or detection parameters. In addition, the tube body is marked with a clear "sample number area" and "detection method adaptation mark", which is convenient for laboratory staff to identify and classify, reducing operation errors caused by mismatching of containers and detection methods.
3. Product Application Scenarios
- Medical Institutions: In hospitals and clinics, the FOB Tube is widely used in the early screening of digestive tract diseases. When doctors suspect that patients have digestive tract bleeding, they will use the FOB Tube to collect fecal samples for occult blood testing. The FOB Tube can quickly complete sample pretreatment, helping doctors obtain detection results in time and make accurate diagnosis. In the process of diagnosing diseases such as gastric ulcer and colorectal polyps, the FOB Tube is an indispensable tool. Every day, a large number of medical institutions use the FOB Tube to serve patients, and the FOB Tube has become a reliable guarantee for the diagnosis of digestive tract diseases.
- Physical Examination Centers: In physical examination centers, the FOB Tube is an important part of the routine physical examination project. During the physical examination, the FOB Tube is used to collect fecal samples of the examinees to detect occult blood, which is of great significance for the early discovery of digestive tract tumors. The FOB Tube is easy to operate, and the examinees can even collect samples by themselves under the guidance of the instructions, which improves the efficiency of the physical examination. Every year, millions of people use the FOB Tube in physical examinations, and the FOB Tube has made an important contribution to the early prevention of digestive tract diseases.
- Community Health Service Centers: Community health service centers are responsible for the health management of residents in the community. The FOB Tube is often used in the community's chronic disease management and elderly health care projects. Medical staff use the FOB Tube to collect fecal samples of residents, especially the elderly, for occult blood testing, so as to find potential digestive tract problems in time. The FOB Tube is easy to carry and store, which is very suitable for the mobile health service work of community health service centers. In the daily work of community health service centers, the FOB Tube is used frequently, and the FOB Tube has become an important tool for community health management.
4. Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What is the validity period of the FOB Tube after opening?
A: After opening the package of the FOB Tube, it is recommended to use it within 24 hours. If it is not used in time, it should be stored in a cool and dry place (2-8℃) and used within 48 hours. Do not use the FOB Tube that has exceeded the validity period, as it may affect the detection results.
- Q: Can the FOB Tube be reused?
A: No, the FOB Tube is a disposable medical device. It has been sterilized by ethylene oxide before leaving the factory, and it can only be used once. Reusing the FOB Tube will cause cross-contamination and affect the accuracy of the detection results, and may also bring potential health risks to users.
- Q: Is the FOB Tube suitable for all people?
A: The FOB Tube is suitable for most people, including adults, the elderly and children over 3 years old. However, for infants under 3 years old, due to the special nature of their fecal samples, it is recommended to consult a doctor before using the FOB Tube to select a more suitable detection tool.
