Puritan Fecal Opti-Swab Collection and Transport System is intended for use in the collection and transport of clinical fecal and rectal swab specimens to preserve the viability of enteric bacteria during transport from the collection site to the testing laboratory for bacteriological examination and culture.

Puritan Fecal Opti-Swab Collection and Transport System is comprised of a sterile peel pouch containing a sterile polyester flock swab applicator for collecting clinical fecal and rectal specimens and a polypropylene vial containing 2 ml of Fecal Opti-Swab medium. Fecal Opti-Swab medium is a nonnutritive balanced salt solution containing phosphates to provide buffering capability, chloride salts to provide essential ions that help maintain osmotic balance. Agar is a solidifying agent that increases the viscosity of the medium. Sodium thioglycolate and L-cysteine provides an oxygen-reduced environment. It is recommended for maintaining the viability of enteric bacteria during the transport to the laboratory.

Puritan Opti-Tranz Cary-Blair Collection and Transport System is intended for use in the collection and transport of clinical fecal and rectal swab specimens to preserve the viability of enteric bacteria during transport from the collection site to the testing laboratory for bacteriological examination and culture.

Puritan Opti-Tranz Cary-Blair Collection and Transport System is comprised of a sterile peel pouch containing a rayon tipped swab applicator for collecting specimens and a polypropylene tube containing 5 ml of Cary-Blair medium. Cary-Blair medium is a nonnutritive balanced salt solution containing disodium phosphate to provide buffering capability, sodium chloride and calcium chloride to provide essential ions that help maintain osmotic balance. Agar is a solidifying agent and gives a semisolid texture to the medium. Sodium thioglycollate provides a reduced environment. It is recommended for maintaining the viability of enteric bacteria during the transport to the laboratory.
