INTRODUCTION
The One Step LH Urine Ovulation Test is fast and easy to use. It
is a qualitative test that can predict when there is a LH
(luteinizing hormone) surge, and in turn, when you are likely to
ovulate.
WHEN TO BEGIN TESTING
First, you must determine the length of
your menstrual cycle. This is the
number of days from the first day of
your menstrual bleeding to the day
before your next bleeding begins.
Please refer to the chart to determine
when you should start testing. If your
cycle is shorter than 21 days or longer
than 38 days, consult your doctor. If you
do not know your cycle length, you may
begin the test 11 days after your first
period since the average cycle length is
28 days. Perform 1 test each day over a
5 day period, or until the LH surge has
been detected.
URINE COLLECTION
1. Do not use first morning urine
samples as LH is synthesized in your
body early in the morning. It will not
show up in your urine until later in the
day.
2. The best time to collect your urine is between 10am and 8pm.
3. Collect urine at about the same time each day.
4. Reduce liquid intake about 2 hours before collecting your
urine as a diluted urine sample can prevent the test from
detecting the LH surge.
TEST PROCEDURE
1. To begin testing, open the sealed pouch by tearing along
the notch. Remove the test kit from the pouch and use it
as soon as possible.
2. Immerse the strip into the urine sample with the arrow
end pointing towards the urine. Do not immerse past the
“Mark” Line. Take the strip out after 3 seconds and lay
the strip flat on a clean, dry, non-absorbent surface (such
as the mouth of the urine container).
3. Wait for colored bands to appear. Depending on the
concentration of hCG in the test specimen, positive
results may be observed in as soon as 40 seconds.
However, to confirm negative results, the complete
reaction time of 5 minutes is required. It is important that
the background is clear before the result is read. Do not
read results after more than 30 minutes.
PRECAUTION
1. For in vitro diagnostic use only.
2. Do not use test kit beyond expiry date.
3. The test device should not be reused.
STORAGE AND STABILITY
The test kit can be stored at temperatures between 2 to
30°C in the sealed pouch to the date of expiration. The
test kit should be kept away from direct sunlight,
moisture and heat.
INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS
No LH Surge:: Only one color band appears on the control (C) region or the test (T) band appears but is lighter than
the control band. This means there is no LH surge.
LH Surge: Two color bands are visible, and the test (T)
band is equal to or darker than the control (C) band. This
means that one will probably ovulate in the next 24-48
hours. If trying to get pregnant, the best time to have
intercourse is after 24 but before 48 hours.
Invalid: No visible band at all or no band appears on the
control (C) region. Repeat with a new test kit. If the problem
persists, discontinue using the test kit immediately and
contact your local distributor.
LIMITATIONS
1. As with all diagnostic tests, all results must be
considered with other clinical information available to
the physician. A definite clinical diagnosis should only
be made by the physician after all clinical and
laboratory findings have been evaluated.
2. The test results should not be affected by pain
relievers, antibiotics and other common drugs. After
using the pill or patch that contains hCG or LH may
affect the test result and should not be taken while
using this test kit. In addition, the test will not work
properly if you are pregnant or menopausal.
3. A positive result means your urine contains the
level of LH that would indicate you are beginning to
ovulate. You can assume that you will ovulate within
24-36 hours. However, not every woman ovulates midcycle;
therefore, you may not see a positive result
during the first 5 days of testing. |
