Fecal occult testing is simple and non-invasive in nature, thereby increasing its preference among many physicians. The results of few of the fecal occult tests can be obtained rapidly through point-of-care (POC) test kits such as Alere's Clearview iFOB, and Beckman Coulter's Hemoccult II SENSA. For instance, the Clearview iFOB test is based on human hemoglobin and gastrointestinal bleeding, and can provide results in five minutes. Beckman Coulter's Hemoccult II SENSA slides allow people to collect fecal samples at home settings and send them to hospitals, laboratories, and diagnostic centers.
