Control, Fecal Occult Blood
- Page Type
- Product Code
- Definition
- Fecal occult blood controls (Negative and positive) are used to verify the performance of the fecal occult blood test devices.
- Physical State
- The control solutions are in the aqueous form.
- Technical Method
- The test is based on the detection of human hemoglobin. The negative control solution contains only buffer. The positive control solution contains human hemoglobin at a specified concentration. The control solution is placed in the test device according to the manufacturer's instructions. The negative control produces one distinct color band in the control area and the positive control produces two color bands in the control and the test area of the lateral flow strips of the test device.
- Target Area
- Occult blood in human stool.

§ 864.6550 Occult blood test.
(a) Identification. An occult blood test is a device used to detect occult blood in urine or feces. (Occult blood is blood present in such small quantities that it can be detected only by chemical tests of suspected material, or by microscopic or spectroscopic examination.)
(b) Classification. Class II (special controls). A control intended for use with an occult blood test is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 864.9.
