Accutest Hcg Kit

Accutest Hcg Kit is designed for the rapid determination of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine to assist in the detection of pregnancy. Human chorionic gonadotropin(hCG) is a glycoprotein hormone produced in pregnancy that is made by the developing embryo after conception and later by the syncytiotrophoblast. In normal pregnancy, hCG can be detected in urine as early as 1-2 weeks after conception. hCG levels continue to rise very rapidly, usually exceeding 100 mIU/mL by the first missed menstrual period, and peaking in the 100,000-200,000 mIU/mL range about 10-12 weeks into pregnancy. Early pregnancy testing, in general, is based on the detection or measurement of hCG.

Uses:
Accutest Hcg Kit may be used for early detection of pregnancy

Product Specifications and Features:

Directions For Use:
Collection and Storage of Specimens
Any urine specimen is appropriate for pregnancy testing but the first morning urine specimen is optimal because of its highest concentration of HCG. Urine should be collected in a clean container before testing

Assay Procedure

• Remove a Testing Device and dropper from the foil pouch by tearing at the notch then place it on a level surface and use it as soon as possible

• Holding a Sample Dropper vertically, add exactly 2-3 drops of urine specimen to the sample well-marked S

• Do not read before 5 minutes or after 10 minutes

• Positive (Pregnant): Two distinct red lines appear. One line should be in the control region (C) and another line should be in the test region (T). This means you are probably pregnant

• Negative (Not pregnant): One red line appears in the control region (C). No apparent red or pink line appears in the test region (T). This means you are probably not pregnant

• Invalid: The result is invalid if no red line appears in the control region (C), even if a line appears in the test region (T). You should repeat the test with a new strip

• Note: If the test line is weak, it is recommended that the test be repeated within 48 hours

Safety Information:

• Store at 2ºC to 30ºC (35 - 86ºF) in the sealed pouch up to the expiration date

• The test can be stored at room temperature for up to 18 months or up to the expiration date listed on the label. Open the pouch just a few minutes before running the test

• Keep out of the reach of children

• Urine specimens may be infectious; Ensure proper handling and discard all used devices according to the local regulations

• The test is for single-use

• Do not reuse it

• You should not rely on the results of pregnancy tests alone to determine clinical status
