hemoccult stool

Just a question..

Is there a time frame that you must wait between specimens for collecting serial hemoccult stools? For example, when there is an order for hemoccult stool x 3, how long of a time period (if any) between samples is acceptable? Thanks!

It means three in a row, however long it may take to get the three.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I know it means three in a row. I have been told I must wait x # of hours between samples. I have never heard that before and just wondering if anyone else had or if it's true.

Our lab will only accept one per day, which makes no sense to me.

Same applies to us, Occult Blood samples can only be sent once a day at my facility as well

If you have the packet of three hemoccult cards, which is what we send the pt home with, the instructions say to do for three days. Hope that helps.
