Over 99% accurate, Individually packaged Early Pregnancy Tests. To use the test strip, simply fill a container with urine and dip the test strip in the container in a vertical position for no longer than 3 seconds. Your results appear within five minutes. See EXTENDED INFORMATION for Instructions for Use.
TEST
PROCEDURE
1. To begin
testing, open
the sealed pouch by tearing along the notch. Remove the test from the
pouch.
Note: First morning urine usually contains the highest concentration
of hCG
and is therefore the best sample when performing the urine test.
However, randomly
collected urine specimens may be used.
2. Holding the
strip vertically,
carefully dip it into the specimen (you may collect your urine in a
clean, dry
container). Immerse the strip into the urine sample with the arrow end
pointing
towards the urine. Do not immerse past the MAX Line (Marker Line).
Take the
strip out after 3 seconds and lay the strip flat on a clean, dry,
non-absorbent
surface. (Note: In rare instances when dye does not enter the result
area, dip
the tip of the test strip in the urine as instructed above until the
dye begins
traveling across the white result area).
3. Wait for
colored bands
to appear. Depending on the concentration of hCG in the test specimen,
positive
results may be observed in as little as 40 seconds. However, to
confirm negative
results, the complete reaction time of 5 minutes is required. It is
important
that the background is clear before the result is read. Do not read
results
after the specified reaction time.
INTERPRETATION
OF RESULTS
Negative:
Only one color band appears on the control region. No apparent band on
the test
region. This indicates that no pregnancy has been detected.
Positive:
Distinct color bands appear on the control and test regions. Presence
of both
test line and control line indicate that you are pregnant. The color
intensity
of the test bands may vary since different stages of pregnancy have
different
concentrations of HCG hormone. NOTE: A positive
test line will appear directly below the control line on the same test
surface
(or 'result window' area). Any line or accumulation of
color/dye
that appears at the juncture between test components should not be
mistaken
for "test line" (this is only the source of the test reagent &
dye).
Invalid:
No visible band at all. The control band will not appear if an
insufficient
volume of specimen is added into the test kit. Proper procedures may
not have
been followed in performing the test. Repeat with a new test kit.
Please consult
above instructions and follow precisely.
STORAGE:
The test kits can be stored at room temperature (18 to 30°C) in
the
sealed pouch to the date of expiration. The test kits should be kept
away from
direct sunlight, moisture and heat. Do not use test kit beyond
expiration date.
The test device should not be reused.
Notes On
Pregnancy
Tests / Test Limitations and Terms of Use
- The Urine hCG Pregnancy Test is for in vitro diagnostic use only
(for external
use only).
- As with all diagnostic tests, a final clinical diagnosis should not
be based
on the results of a single test, but should only be made by a
physician.
- A negative result obtained from a urine specimen collected from a
mother in
very early pregnancy may be due to an extremely low concentration of
hCG. In
such cases, the test should be repeated on a fresh specimen obtained
two days
later.
- If a urine sample is too diluted, it may not contain a
representative urinary
hCG concentration. If a negative result is obtained with a low
specific gravity
specimen and pregnancy is still suspected, obtain a first
morning urine
specimen and retest.
- Test instructions must be followed precisely to insure accurate
results. Please
read instructions and follow exact test procedure. Please check with
your midwife if you receive unexpected or
inconsistent
test results.
