• A urine specimen must be collected in a clean and dry container
• The first morning urine specimen is preferred due to a high concentration of HCG hormones indicating pregnancy
• Testing too early may result in a false-negative test; in this case, another urine specimen should be obtained at least 48 hours later and tested   Repeat the test in case of not feeling sure about the result
• Testing after drinking alcohol is not recommended as it may interfere with the results

Instructions

• Bring the test pouch and urine to room temperature
• To begin testing, open the sealed pouch and remove the cassette
• Place the test casette onto a flat, clean surface and draw 0.2ml (about 4 drops) sample into the pipette; then dispense it into the sample well on the cassette
• Wait for coloured bands to appear (positive results may be visible within a minute, but to confirm a negative result wait up to five minutes and until the background is clear)
• Results obtained after five minutes may be considered invalid
• Discard the test after use
• If one coloured line appears in the control region on the test device and there is no line in the test region, then this indicates a negative result
• If two coloured lines appear on the test device, one in the test region and one in the control region, then this means there is a strong possibility of a pregnancy
• One line may be lighter than the other, they do not have to match and this is still a positive result
• If a red line appears in the test region but there is no visible line at all in the control region of the device then the test is invalid
• If no lines appear anywhere on the test device then the test is also invalid and should be repeated using another test device
