Rapid fsh menopause urine test - menopause detection 2 tests

Product Description

This product is a rapid test for the qualitative detection of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in urine, useful for facilitating the diagnosis of menopause.

Indications

The FSH Menopause Rapid Test (Urine) is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in urine to facilitate the diagnosis of menopause.

Directions for use

The urine sample must be collected in a clean, dry container. A first morning urine sample is preferable as it generally contains the highest concentration of FSH; However, urine samples collected at any time of day can be used. Urine samples with visible precipitates should be centrifuged, filtered, or allowed to settle to obtain a clear sample for analysis.

Urine samples can be stored at 2-8°C for up to 48 hours before testing. For extended storage, samples can be frozen and stored below -20°C. Frozen samples should be thawed and mixed before testing.

• If you have monthly menstrual cycles, perform the first test during the first week of your cycle (days 2-7, counting day 1 as the first day of your period). If the result is negative but symptoms persist, repeat the test one week later.
• If you no longer have symptoms, perform the first test during the first week of your cycle. If you have regular periods, test anytime during the month and repeat with a second test 1 week later.

Before testing, allow the urine sample and/or controls to reach room temperature (15-30°C).

1. Determine the day to start testing.
2. Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening it. Remove the test from the sealed pouch and use it within one hour.
3. Remove the test cap, place the absorbent tip in your urine stream, or dip the absorbent tip into the urine of a clean container for at least 10-15 seconds.
4. Replace the cap on the test, then place the test on a clean, stable surface with the control window facing up and immediately start the timer.
5. When the test begins the detection process, you are prompted to wait for the test to start. You may see a light-colored stream moving across the control window. Read the result after 3 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 10 minutes.

Reading Results

Positive: Two lines are visible, and the line in the test region (T) is equal to or darker than the line in the control region (C). A positive result means that the Fsh level is higher than normal. Record the results and compare them to the graph above for interpretation.

Negative: Two lines are visible, but the line in the test region (T) is dimmer than the line in the control region (C), or no line appears in the test region (T). A negative result means that the Fsh level is not currently elevated. Record the results and compare them to the graph above for interpretation.

Invalid: The control line does not appear. The most likely reasons for the control line not appearing are insufficient sample volume or incorrect procedural techniques. Review the procedure and repeat the test with a new test. If the problem persists, discontinue use of the test kit immediately and contact your local distributor.
