Manufactured by Biomerica, Inc., EZ Detect™ is the only FDA cleared FOBT with all these features: no handling of stool, no dietary restrictions, and no laboratory processing. A user merely tosses a chemically treated tissue paper into a toilet bowl after a bowel movement and looks for a change in color. It produces accurate results at home in just 2 minutes.

EZ Detect™ is the most advanced home test available to check for hidden blood in stool and is just as accurate at detecting blood as the more common yet unpleasant FOBT. Also, since it has no dietary restrictions it has fewer false-positive results than the other test.

After study by their scientists and lab, EZ Detect™ was the only FOBT recommended by Good Housekeeping Institute Report November 1999 in their list of home health tests.

If the test is obtained from your physician, EZ Detect™ is covered by most health plans under CPT code 82270 and under Medicare code G0107.

A promising long-term study of 46,000 people, released in March 1999 by The Centers For Disease Control and Prevention, proved that using a FOBT every year could prevent up to 33,000 colon cancer deaths nationwide by catching and treating the disease in its early stages. The findings prompted government health officials to announce a new campaign to encourage all Americans over 50 to annually use a FOBT and led to the U.S. Senate declaring March 2000 the first "National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month".

How does FOBT help? FOBTs are non-invasive low-cost screening tools relative to other screening measures. FOBT indicates the presence of blood, a common warning sign that requires medical attention and follow up using more expensive and more invasive measures. Only one screening test, a colonoscopy, can examine the entire colon and positively identify and remove polyps at the same time. Colonoscopy is the preferred follow up screening test to a positive FOBT. Substantially all insurance plans will pay for a colonoscopy if a FOBT indicates the presence of blood.
