Features
FDA-Cleared
FecalSwab® meets FDA clearance as a collection and transport system suitable for enteric pathogen recovery using traditional bacteriology culture. FecalSwab® is also in full compliance with CLSI M40-A2.
FecalSwab® System for Stool Transfer and Rectal Stool Collection
FecalSwab® is available with two collection devices: a standard flocked swab for easy transfer from a primary stool sample and a specialized flocked swab with stopper for the collection of rectal, perianal and fecal samples.
Simplified Pediatric Sample Collection
Pediatric sample collection is simplified using safe rectal flocked swab rather than stool taken from a diaper, which contain material that may cause interference in some tests.
