Description

Urinary Tract Infections-Single Test for self-testing.

The Urinary Tract Infections Rapid Test (Urine) is firm plastic strips onto which several separate reagent areas are affixed. The test is for the qualitative detection of the following analytes in human urine: Blood, Protein, Nitrite and Leukocytes. The Urinary Tract Infections Rapid Test (Urine) is for single use in self-testing. 

A urinary infection represents the most common disease of the urinary tract which includes the urethra, the bladder, the ureter and the kidneys. Men, women and children are likely to experience a urinary infection. It’s mostly women who suffer from urinary infections, since the short urethra favours the penetration of germs. 

However, elderly males are also affected if they have an enlarged prostate which obstructs the urine flow. 

In healthy people, urine is sterile (i.e. it doesn’t contain any micro-organisms). One of the best ways to keep your urinary tract sterile is to empty your bladder completely at regular intervals. Generally, an infection starts in the urethra and may then spread into the upper urinary tract as far as the kidneys. 

The symptoms vary considerably: burning when emptying the bladder, or a strong urge to urinate. The urine may also be cloudy or have a strong odour.

Directions for Use

ATTENTION: It’s recommended to take a sample of urine for the test in the early morning since it’s the most concentrated. The urine used for the test should not come into contact with water from the toilet or any disinfectant or cleaning substances. 

For women only: The test should not be performed during or for three days after your menstrual period. The urine sample should not be contaminated with vaginal fluids since this may produce a misleading result. 

Do not make any important medical decision without first referring to your doctor. 

Collect Urine:

Collect part of the urine in the supplied plastic cup or using a clean cup without any residual detergents. Make sure to fill up the cup with urine.  

Performing the test:

1. Open the foil pouch and take out the test strip. Do not touch the test fields. Once opened the pouch, it is recommended to perform the test immediately. 
2. Dip the test strip in the urine sample.  Attention: Press the strip and make sure that all four test fields are immersed for about 1-2 seconds. 
3. Then remove the test strip and wipe off any surplus urine against the rim of the container or with an absorbent material (e.g. a paper towel) to avoid mixing chemicals from adjacent reagent areas. 
4. Wait for 2 min. (do not read results after 3 minutes) Read the result separately for each parameter, compare color with color chart provided.  For further information please refer to the instruction guide provided in the pack.
