•Collect urine: Start by collecting a urine sample in a clean, dry container. Ensure the container is free from any contaminants.
•Prepare the test cassette: Take out the test cassette from its individual packaging. Place it on a flat surface.
•Perform the test: Carefully hold the cassette by the handle and immerse the absorbent tip into the urine sample. Make sure not to exceed the maximum line indicated on the cassette.
•Wait for results: Keep the cassette on a flat surface and wait for the recommended testing time (usually 3-5 minutes). Avoid moving or disturbing the test during this time.
•Read the results: After the designated time has passed, look for the appearance of lines on the cassette. A control line indicates that the test is functioning correctly. If a second line, known as the test line, appears alongside the control line, it indicates a positive result for pregnancy. If no test line appears, it indicates a negative result.
•Interpret the results: Carefully read and interpret the results based on the instructions provided with the kit. Follow any additional guidance provided by the manufacturer for result interpretation.
•Dispose of the test: Once you have finished reading the results, properly dispose of the test cassette according to the manufacturer's instructions.
