Privacy
Any communication between the CalApp® and the IBDoc® Portal is encrypted and protected from unauthorized access. The IBDoc® Portal itself is also protected form any unauthorized access and the connection between your browser and the IBDoc® Portal is encrypted as well. You are responsible to keep your password safe. Please use a strong password and change it frequently. Make sure that your smartphone is locked from any unauthorized access.
The Patient ID is an arbitrary number given to you, which is generated automatically by the IBDoc® system.
The patient initials are given to you by your doctor to identify you without displaying your full name. BÜHLMANN is taking great care that patient information is safe and can only be seen or accessed by the patient and the treating physician.
IBDoc® Test Procedure
The IBDoc Test Kit contains a CALEX® Valve stool extraction device, 2 stool collection sheets, 1 camera test card and one lateral flow test cassette. Not included are the smartphone to scan the test cassette with the CalApp® and gloves.
Every IBDoc® Test Kit contains two stool collection sheets. In case you experience problems with the first one, you can use the second collection paper.
In case that you loaded your sample directly onto the test strip the test cassette cannot be used again and you have to repeat the test with an entirely new test kit. The test is designed in a way that the CALEX® Valve extraction device can only be used once. If the CALEX® Valve is opened it cannot be used again to load a second cassette. Therefor the test has to be started again with a new test kit.
If you cannot see the reddish color appear in the test strip window even after more than 50 seconds, there is a problem with either the CALEX® Valve test tube or the test cassette and you have to repeat the test with an entirely new test kit. The test is designed in a way that the CALEX® Valve extraction device can only be used once. If the CALEX® Valve is opened it cannot be used again to load a second cassette. Therefor the test has to be started again.
Every IBDoc® Test Kit contains one camera test card, you can use the same card as long as it is not broken, wet or otherwise damaged. If you have no test left, please contact your clinic for another camera test card.
The problem is most likely that you have another light source than the LED flash of your phone shining light onto the test cassette. Make sure that you have no other light source (lamp or window) shining directly onto the test cassette and that nothing is bringing a shadow onto the test cassette.
The problem is most likely that the test cassette is not orientated the right way on the camera test card. Make sure that the test cassette is properly aligned with the black lines on the backside of the camera test card as well as with the yellow screen overlay on the smartphone. The barcode has to be facing away from you.
The speed in which the test cassette is analysed depends on the processor of your smartphone. On older smartphones (e.g. iPhone 4S or Samsung Galaxy S2) with less powerful processors the time until an image is chosen and analyzed can take up 20 seconds.
Clinic Setup
To use IBDoc® as a patient you need to be first signed up by your IBD doctor. He or she will also give you the IBDoc® Tool Box to perform the test at home. To use the CalApp® you need an IBDoc® account given to you by your doctor. Without the account you cannot use CalApp®.
