Bowel Cancer Screening through the RDi FIT test Kit
RDi have proven to be a vital provider of kit assembly and fulfilment services for a variety of private and public sector organisations. FIT test kits are one of the early stages of bowel cancer screening programmes, a tool which is transforming early diagnosis for the fourth most common cancer in the UK.
FIT Test Kits: Convenience, Confidence and Confidentiality
As a leading provider of sample collection kits to fulfil the completion of the healthcare supply chain, RDi offer a range of MHRA registered and UKCA and CE marked kits. The bowel cancer screening FIT test kit is one such example.
Here, we combine regulatory compliance, brand customisation, seamless fulfilment and automated assembly to provide the most scalable and innovative production of the FIT test kit.
Faecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) specimen collection kits play a vital part in the public sector screening for bowel cancer in various age groups. The FIT test kit is also a crucial offering from many private healthcare organisations too. The kit is designed to allow patients to easily and safely take a stool sample, which can then be sent for laboratory analysis.
Expansion of the public sector bowel cancer screening program has led to both private and public organisations searching for a FIT test kit that meets both high volume production and navigates the necessary regulatory hurdles for fulfilment across the UK and beyond.
At RDI we ensure that our FIT test kit production line has traceability and conformity built in. Camera verification offers peace of mind that each kit is assembled traceably at an individual component-into-kit level.
Our seamless fulfilment services ensure that we can meet both direct-to-provider and direct-to-subject shipments and distribution, both of which can be turned around in a time to suit you with our lines running continuously to meet up to 36,000 kits per day.
This off-the-shelf approach for bowel cancer FIT test kits allows access a completely end-to-end solution that is already regulatory approved and patient compliant with kit identification offering the most unique data and technology for confidentiality.

- Sample date labels
- UN3373 Category B compliant return envelope
- Recyclable outer packaging
Bowel Cancer Screenings and the FIT test kit
In the case of a bowel cancer screening, the FIT test is used as a pre-screening method to identify the earliest signs of cancer. This is a crucial stage of enabling patients access to treatment as quickly as possible.
A notable development from the NHS is the lower age boundary rolled out to access the public screening program in 2025. Figures show that uptake in early stages of bowel cancer screening is low across ages 54-59, with less than 60% in this age group taking up the offer for FIT testing. Prior to January 2025, the invitees were in the >60+ age bracket.
The pre-screening tool enables patients to send a sample to the lab via public or private healthcare initiatives. The role of the FIT test kit is paramount in safeguarding public health, check out our recent blog to understand how FIT screening catches the earliest identification of blood in stool.
With the RDi at home FIT test kit we can help you on your mission to ensure that bowel cancer is detected in the earliest possible stages in your patients.
A convenient and reliable FIT test return envelope
As part of our bowel cancer screening kit, RDi introduce the market-leading, highly reputable SafeTFIT component. This is the easy to use, multiple lined exterior packaging which complies with UN3373 Category B packaging requirements for onwards shipment of samples. Guaranteeing secure isolation of the sample during transit.
In addition, its design incorporates internal absorbency, managing any residual moisture seamlessly and unnoticeably.
Patient-centric FIT test kits
Not only do patients complete their sample collection in the comfort of their own home, where suitable, but they can also package and ship the sample straight back to the lab for testing.
By removing barriers to completing samples, private and public healthcare organisations can achieve their goals of bringing the patient closer to diagnosis sooner.
We recognise the importance of understanding your supply chain particularly when screening programs are at the core of kit fulfilment. RDi offer innovative data and technology alongside their kitting assembly services. With this, businesses like yours can use data insights to understand geographical trends which is vital in understanding participation in screening programs.
Putting the patient at the centre of healthcare services is made simple with RDi. We use unique patient data to track and trace proper kit assembly, confidentially configuring a unique barcode based on patient IDs to ensure that each kit reaches your end-user in a high quality and compliant manner.
Barcodes are scanned at the point of a new component being added to a kit, at the same time cameras verify the assembly and providave a detailed trace of the kit in our production line. We offer the very best in terms of peace of mind that NICE-approved, MHRA registered, and CE marked kits reach the doors of your customers and patients.
