[edit] ICD10 code in infobox

This source discusses the decision whether in ICD10, faecal occult blood should be coded to "R19.5 – Other faecal abnormalities" or "K92.1 - Melaena", and concludes that because "ICD10 can’t measure the quantity of blood, a diagnosis of faecal occult blood should be coded to K92.1 - Melaena". --Arcadian 14:19, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Trademarks

I tried to trim some of the excessive marketing hype. The article has been infected by too many confusing trademark terms. It needs to get cleaned up and organized, by someone who actually understands the trademarks.-69.87.203.221 00:56, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
