Pregnancy Test Midstream Instructions

IMPORTANT: Please read our test instructions carefully and completely before beginning testing.

Introduction

Early pregnancy test midstreams are used for the detection of pregnancy 6-15 days after fertilization of the egg. They work through the detection of human Chorionic Gonadtropin(hCG), a hormone that is secreted by the placenta at that time. Our pregnancy tests have a sensitivity of 20 mIU/mL, allowing for quick and accurate qualitative results.

Sample Collection

• For most accurate results, use first morning urine. hCG concentration is highest at this time.
• Always use a clean plastic or glass container for sample collection.
• Before testing, wait(at least 5 minutes) for the urine to reach room temperature.

Testing Procedures

1. Bring the test pouch to room temperature (18-30°C) . To begin testing, open the sealed pouch by tearing along the notch.
2. Remove the cap covering the sample intake area.
3. Apply the urine sample to the test by doing only 1 of the following:
   1. holding the handle, put the absorbent tip (with 5 small openings) directly in urine stream for at least 7-10 seconds to allow the sample into the testing device.
   2. Collect urine into a clean container and dip half of the absorbent pad into it for at least 10 seconds.
4. Place the cap back on the midstream and lay the midstream on a flat, clean horizontal surface.
5. Allow 5 minutes to complete the test reaction. Positive results may be observed in as litle as 60 seconds; however, to be accurate results should be interpreted after 5 minutes. Do NOT read results after 10 minutes.

Diagram and Results

• Positive:
  2 color bands appear in the result window. The top is the control line, the bottom is the test line. The test line can appear lighter of darker depending on the concentration of hCG in the urine. Positive results should always be verified with a doctor.

• Negative:
  1 color band appears in the result window. This indicates that only the sample has flowed through the test, but pregnancy has not been detected.

• Invalid: If no control line appears, the test was performed improperly or an error occured. Please repeat the test with a new device and follow instructions carefully.

Warning and Precautions

• Store tests at room temperature (18 - 30°C) in the sealed pouch, away from direct sunlight, moisture and heat.
• This test is designed for single use only and should not be reused.
• Do not use test kit beyond expiry date printed on package.
• Tests results may vary for different individuals.
• Always confirm test results with a qualified specialist.
