The EZ DETECT™ Stool Blood Test is the most
advanced home test available to detect hidden
blood in the stool, one of the primary early
warning signals of many health problems. EZ
DETECT™ is designed to detect blood in the stool
that can be caused by bleeding ulcers,
hemorrhoids, polyps, colitis, diverticulitis,
fissures or cancer of the colon.
EZ DETECT™ is a simple, sanitary, fast home test
requiring no stool handling. The user simply drops
a test tissue into the toilet bowl, and if blood
is present, a blue-green color will appear within
two minutes. The test detects small quantities
(2.0mg hemoglobin/100 ml water) of occult (hidden)
blood in the stool.
Physicians, hospitals, and pharmacies utilize the
test. EZ DETECT™ has no dietary restrictions
before or during the testing period.
Features of EZ DETECT™ :
- Convenient, Sanitary – Easy
throw-in-the-bowl test. No messy handling of
stool.
- Quick, simple to use – Just drop a test
pad in the toilet after a bowel movement. See the
results of the test in just 2 minutes. Repeat the
test with the next two bowel movements.
- Easy-to-read results – Test area of pad
will turn blue/green if blood is detected.
- Reliable and Accurate – FDA approved.
Clinically proven. Used by hospitals and
physicians worldwide.

How the Test Works
The EZ DETECT™ fecal occult blood test kit
consists of a biodegradable tissue-paper-film
coated with a chromogenic dye (TMB) and peroxide.
The film is in the shape of a cross on the test
tissue.
Colorectal disorders such as cancer, cause blood
to be present on the outside of the stool from
irritated polyps that have formed in the colon.
This blood disperses onto the surface of the
toilet water. The heme portion of hemoglobin,
present in blood, oxidizes the
tetramethylbenzidine that is on the test strip and
causes a blue/green color change.
Hemoccult™, another test kit that requires dietary
restrictions and actual handling of the stool,
works by the same principle. Yet it works via the
oxidation of guaiac by hydrogen peroxide. The heme
portion of hemoglobin in blood catalyzes this
reaction. Because no stool handling is required,
EZ Detect has a higher patient compliance rate.
The sensitivity limits of EZ DETECT™ for fecal
occult blood is 2.0 mg hemoglobin/100 ml water
(equivalent to Hemoccult™)
