Description
The Clarity iFOB Controls give laboratories a dedicated external quality control solution made for the Clarity iFOB testing kits. Running the control on the schedule in the kit insert documents that cassettes and technique are performing before patient results go out.
- Purpose – External quality control for Clarity iFOB test kits.
- Format – Ready to use control solution.
- Documentation – Manufacturer safety data sheet published for the control set.
- Packaging – 1 set per box.
About These iFOB External Controls
Waived testing sites still carry quality control obligations, and an external control is the simplest way to prove a test system works. This control solution is formulated for use with Clarity iFOB testing kits, so the material behaves like the samples the cassette is built to read. Sites run the control when a new lot or shipment arrives and at the interval their quality plan sets.
A passing control run supports the patient results reported that day and gives surveyors a clear record. Keeping the matching control on the same order as the test kits avoids the scramble of borrowing material from another assay.

Why Choose the Matching Control for the iFOB Kits
A control only proves something when it matches the assay, and this one is built by the same manufacturer for the same kits. Stocking it beside the test kits keeps quality runs on schedule instead of borrowed or skipped.
- Defensible results – Matched external controls show surveyors that reported results rest on a verified system.
- No lot mismatch risk – Same manufacturer material removes the guesswork of third party controls on a waived cassette.
- Simple reordering – The control set rides the same supply order as the iFOB kits it supports.
Manuals and Troubleshooting Guides
Frequently Asked Questions
What are these controls used for?
They verify that Clarity iFOB test kits are performing correctly before patient samples are reported. Sites run them on new lots, new shipments and at the interval their quality plan requires.
Are the controls made for other fecal occult blood tests?
The manufacturer lists this control solution for use with Clarity iFOB testing kits. Using the matched control keeps the quality record tied to the exact assay your site runs.
How many control sets come in a box?
Each box contains one control set. Most sites keep at least one spare set so a control run is never delayed by an empty shelf.
Where can I find the safety data sheet?
The manufacturer publishes a safety data sheet for this control set, linked in the manuals section of this page. Keep it with your laboratory chemical inventory records.
How often should controls be run?
Follow the interval in the iFOB kit insert and your site quality plan. Common practice is each new lot, each new shipment and at a set routine interval.
