Printer paper, for use on the HM-JACKarc for faecal immunochemical testing.

The HM-JACKarc printer paper is thermal printer paper for use on the HM-JACKarc analyser. The HM-JACKarc analyser is a quantitative faecal immunochemical testing analyser used in the quantification of haemoglobin in faeces.

Background:
Blood in faeces could be a symptom of a range of gastroenterological complaints: colorectal cancer (CRC), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and diverticular disease, for example. The use of a marker such as blood in the stool has been used for CRC screening programmes for over 10-years, originally with a guaiac based, qualitative technology, referred to as faecal occult blood (gFOB). The faecal immunochemical test is now used in symptomatic referral and screening programmes, to help triage patient care appropriately, identify bowel cancer earlier, and improve laboratory workflow.

Product Specification:
Each pack of printer paper contains 2 rolls, for use with HM-JACKarc thermal printer. The paper rolls are directly loaded into the analyser and print out the results, flag errors, and can provide a positive or negative flag depending on pre-set cut-offs in the analyser set-up.

Handling and Storage:
Can be stored at room temperature, out of direct sunlight.
