Test for the immunochromatographic detection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine for early pregnancy diagnosis.
Sensitivity: 20 mIU/mL (20 mMO/mL).
Test accuracy greater than 99%.
Detects pregnancy from the first day of a missed period. Not for multiple uses.
TEST PRINCIPLE:
During pregnancy, a woman produces the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), which can be detected in urine. The pregnancy test contains antibodies that specifically react with this hormone. When a urine sample is applied to the test, it moves along the membrane via capillary action. If hCG in the urine reaches the test line (T), a colored line appears. The absence of a colored line indicates a negative result. For control purposes, a colored line will appear at the control line (C) when the test is performed correctly. The test can be placed directly under a urine stream.
TEST KIT CONTENTS:
Each individual package contains 1 test stick and a desiccant. The desiccant is for storage purposes only and is not used for testing.
WHAT ELSE IS NEEDED FOR TESTING?
If you prefer not to place the test directly under the urine stream, you may use a clean, dry plastic or glass container to collect urine.
A timer or a watch.
WARNING AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
For external use only, do not ingest.
The test is for single use only. Dispose of after use.
Do not use after the expiration date.
Do not use if the primary packaging is damaged.
Keep out of reach of children.
STORAGE CONDITIONS:
Store at temperatures between 4 and 30°C in the sealed individual package until the expiration date.
Open the primary packaging only immediately before testing.
Do not expose to direct sunlight, moisture, or heat.
Do not freeze.
WHEN TO TEST? The test can be conducted at any time of the day; however, it is recommended to test in the morning after waking up, as the highest concentration of hCG occurs in the morning urine during early pregnancy.

This product is intended for self-monitoring.
Open the package, remove the test stick, and take off the protective cap.
Place the end of the test stick with the arrow under a stream of urine for 10 seconds.
You can also collect a urine sample in a clean container and immerse the end of the test stick with the arrow in it for 10 seconds.
Replace the protective cap and wait for colored lines to appear. A positive result can be observed within 1 minute. However, to confirm a negative result, wait for 3 minutes.
Do not read the result after 5 minutes of testing.
HOW TO INTERPRET THE RESULT
Positive (pregnant): Distinct colored lines appear on both the control and test sections, indicating pregnancy. The intensity of the test lines may vary between tests due to different hCG concentrations at various stages of pregnancy.
Negative (not pregnant): A colored line appears only on the control section. There is no line on the test section (T), indicating the absence of pregnancy.
Invalid test: No visible lines or a colored line appears only on the test section without one on the control section. It is recommended to repeat the test using a new test strip. If the test is invalid again, contact your doctor or the pharmacy where you purchased the product, providing the batch number.
WHAT TO DO AFTER OBTAINING THE RESULT?
If the result is positive (2 lines), see a gynecologist. The doctor should confirm the pregnancy after evaluating all clinical and laboratory data, as the test may show a false positive under certain conditions. The gynecologist will also provide necessary information and advice on pregnancy.
If the result is negative (1 line) and you have reasons to believe you are pregnant (e.g., missed period), you can retake the test after a few days. If the results are still negative, consult a doctor.
LIMITATIONS
As with all self-monitoring procedures, pregnancy should be confirmed by a doctor after evaluating all clinical and laboratory data.
If the urine sample has low density (i.e., low specific gravity), the hCG level may be insufficient for detection. If pregnancy is still suspected, collect another urine sample after 48 hours and retest.
Low hCG concentration in early pregnancy may yield a negative result. In such a case, collect another urine sample after at least 48 hours and retest.
Elevated hCG levels may be due to conditions other than pregnancy. Therefore, if these conditions are not excluded, do not rely solely on the presence of hCG in the urine to determine pregnancy. The hCG level alone cannot determine whether a pregnancy is normal or ectopic. Additionally, a miscarriage can complicate the interpretation of the test results.
Infertility treatment involving hCG medications may lead to false results. Consult your healthcare provider.
