Newfoundland Stomach Ulcer Self Test Kit

First secure the collection paper provided to the toilet – you’ll see adhesive tabs on the paper to help you do this.

Defecate on the paper, being careful not to contaminate it with urine.

To take a sample of the stool using the blue applicator provided in the collection tube. Insert the applicator in at least three different places to ensure it is well coated. Note: you don’t need a large sample – just try and coat the tip as best you can.

2. Flush the stool down the toilet.
3. Open the foil pouch and take out the test strip.
4. Unscrew the lid on the other end of the test tube and break off the tip of the dropper.
5. Now gently squeeze out 8-10 drops of the liquid onto the reaction tube.
