PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Premom HCG Urine Test is a rapid pregnancy test, which you can easily carry out yourself. It detects the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), which appears in urine very early during pregnancy. For in vitro self-testing use only. For external use only
HOW TO DO THE TEST
-
To begin testing, open the sealed pouch by tearing along the notch. Remove test device–midstream from the pouch.
-
Hold the round end of cover with one hand. Use the other hand to pull out the midstream cap and expose the absorbent.
-
Place the absorbent tip in urine stream for 10 seconds to be thoroughly wet.
Collect your urine into a clean cup and dip the absorbent pad completely into the urine for 10 seconds. -
Re-cap the device and wait for color bands to appear. Positive results may be observed in as soon as 1 minute. However, the complete reaction time of 3 minutes is required. User should read results between 3 and 5 minutes. Do not read results after 5 minutes.
3-5minutes
HOW TO READ THE RESULTS
Negative (not pregnant) :
Only one color band appears in the Control Zone. No apparent band in the Test
Zone. This indicates that no pregnancy has been detected.
Positive (pregnant) :
Distinct color bands appear in the Control and Test Zones. It indicates that
you are pregnant. The color intensity of the test bands may vary since
different stages of pregnancy have different concentrations of HCG hormone.
Invalid:
No visible band at all, or there is a visible band only in the test region and
not in the control region. Repeat with a new test kit. If test still fails,
please contact the distributor or the store, where you bought the product,
with the lot number.
NOTE: if the color in the Test Zone is weak, it is recommended that the test be repeated in 48 hours.
STORAGE AND STABILITY
- Store at 39ºF to 86ºF (4ºC to 30ºC) in the sealed pouch up to the expiration date.
- Keep away from direct sunlight, moisture and heat.
- DO NOT FREEZE.
- Preferably open the pouch only shortly before the test
WHEN TO DO THE TEST
Any urine specimen is appropriate for pregnancy testing but the first morning urine specimen is optimal because of its highest concentration of HCG.
WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU KNOW THE RESULT
IF THE RESULT IS POSITIVE (TWO LINES)
Consult your physician. They should confirm your pregnancy after evaluating
all clinical and laboratory findings. Indeed, in certain conditions, the test
may give a false positive result. They will also give you further information
and advise on your pregnancy. See also “Limitations”.
IF THE RESULT IS NEGATIVE (ONE LINE)
If you have reasons to believe that you are pregnant (e.g. no menstrual
bleeding), you can repeat the test a few days later. If the test is still
negative, consult your physician. See also “Limitations
LIMITATIONS
- As it is with any diagnostic procedure, a confirmed pregnancy diagnosis should only be made by a physician after evaluating all clinical and laboratory findings.
- If a urine sample is too dilute (ie, low specific gravity) it may not contain a representative level of hCG. If pregnancy is still suspected, another urine specimen should be collected 48 hours later and tested.
- Low concentration of hCG in a very early pregnancy can give a negative result. In this case, another specimen should be obtained at least 48 hours later and tested.
- Elevated levels of hCG can be caused by a few conditions other than pregnancy. Therefore, the presence of hCG in urine specimen should not be used to diagnose pregnancy unless these conditions have been ruled out.
- A normal pregnancy can not be distinguished from an ectopic pregnancy based on hCG levels alone. Also, spontaneous miscarriage may cause confusion in interpreting test results.
- Sterility treatments, based on hCG, may cause false results. Consult your physician.
EXPECTED RESULTS
Negative results are expected in healthy non-pregnant women and healthy men. Although the hCG levels in normal early pregnant women are variable, Premom Pregnancy Test is capable of detecting pregnancy as early as 1 day after the first missed menses
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Q: There is much difference between the control lines of two tests. Is this
a concern?
A: No. Variations in the color of the control band will not affect the
test result.
Q: Can test results be interpreted after more than five minutes?
A: No. Test results must be read in 5 minutes. Though a positive result
should not change for several days, a negative result may change to a false
positive within minutes after the end of the testing period, which would not
be an accurate reading. It is always best to read the results at the 5 minute
testing period and then discard the test to avoid confusion.
Q: I have waited longer than 5 minutes, and still there are no lines in the
result window. What does this mean ?
A: There should always be at least one pink line in the result window at
5 minutes. If not, the test is invalid. The invalid results are normally
caused by 3 major reasons: not placing absorbent tip in urine for enough 10
seconds, urine is insufficient or urinated past the arrow line on the pad. You
should retest with another test and make sure place the absorbent tip in urine
for 10 seconds meantime make sure urine is sufficient and avoid urinating past
the arrow line on the pad. If you still see the invalid result, contact the
vendor.
