00:00:00:05 - 00:00:05:07
Population screening for colorectal cancer:
how to take part.

00:00:05:12 - 00:00:10:00
For the screening test you collect a sample
of your stool in a test tube.

00:00:10:02 - 00:00:14:16
Your invitation letter included
the test tube and a collection paper...

00:00:14:19 - 00:00:17:10
a bag and a return envelope.

00:00:18:01 - 00:00:22:24
Use the self-test on Sunday, Monday,
Tuesday, or Wednesday.

00:00:23:04 - 00:00:25:09
Send it in on the same day.

00:00:25:17 - 00:00:29:18
This video shows you what to do.
There are four steps.

00:00:29:20 - 00:00:34:00
All the information is also
in the instructions on paper.

00:00:35:10 - 00:00:41:07
Step one, use the collection paper in your
test kit to easily collect your stool.

00:00:43:04 - 00:00:47:08
Fold open the collection paper so you
can put your hands through it.

00:00:48:03 - 00:00:53:15
Slide the collection paper onto the toilet seat
with the drawing in the middle.

00:00:54:00 - 00:00:57:04
Make sure the collection paper is under
your buttocks...

00:00:57:06 - 00:00:59:05
when you sit on the toilet seat.

00:00:59:15 - 00:01:02:22
The collection paper should be hanging
lower than the seat...

00:01:02:23 - 00:01:06:00
so it is loose enough to catch a sample.

00:01:06:01 - 00:01:08:19
Catch your stool in the collection paper.

00:01:08:20 - 00:01:13:07
If you prefer to catch your stool
in some other way, that is fine too.

00:01:13:17 - 00:01:17:12
Step two, the test tube has two caps.

00:01:18:03 - 00:01:20:13
Only twist open the green cap.

00:01:20:14 - 00:01:23:14
If you accidentally twist off
the clear cap too...

00:01:23:18 - 00:01:26:10
then the liquid in the tube will come out.

00:01:26:11 - 00:01:29:16
If that happens, the test tube
can not be used.

00:01:29:20 - 00:01:32:20
You will have to request a new test tube.

00:01:33:11 - 00:01:38:08
Step three, the green cap has a swab
with a textured tip.

00:01:39:23 - 00:01:44:08
Stick the textured tip about one
centimeter into your stool.

00:01:44:10 - 00:01:47:16
Do this at four different places
in your stool...

00:01:47:23 - 00:01:51:19
without putting the swab back
into the tube in between.

00:01:51:21 - 00:01:56:12
There only needs to be a small amount
of stool on the textured tip.

00:01:56:20 - 00:01:58:15
Put the swab back into the tube...

00:01:58:18 - 00:02:02:13
then screw on the green cap tightly
right away.

00:02:02:18 - 00:02:05:17
The liquid in the test tube
may look cloudy.

00:02:05:18 - 00:02:07:05
That is normal.

00:02:07:07 - 00:02:11:15
Now tear off the collection paper along
the dotted lines at the left and right...

00:02:11:17 - 00:02:13:07
and flush it all down.

00:02:14:04 - 00:02:17:07
The collection paper is biodegradable.

00:02:18:08 - 00:02:21:09
Step four, put the test tube in the bag...

00:02:21:12 - 00:02:24:19
and then place it in the gray
return envelope.

00:02:24:24 - 00:02:27:09
Send the envelope back on the same day...

00:02:27:10 - 00:02:30:03
so it gets to the laboratory quickly.

00:02:31:00 - 00:02:34:22
Remember that post is not collected
on holidays.

00:02:35:17 - 00:02:37:10
About two weeks later...

00:02:37:11 - 00:02:42:11
you will get a letter with a test result
of the colorectal cancer screening.
