SPECIMEN COLLECTION AND PREPARATION
• Determine the time you will collect
your urine. For best results, collect your urine at about the same
time each day, for example, between 10:00AM and 8:00PM. Some women
have found that their best specimen is after 12 noon. Do not collect
your first urine after waking up.
• Reduce your liquid intake approximately 2 hours
prior to urine collection.
• Be sure to write down the cycle day,
date and time that you collected your urine in the “Test Results
Chart”.
• You can store your urine for testing later in
the day. Your urine can be stored at room temperature for up to 8
hours or in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Do not freeze it.
For best results, test your urine on the same day that it is
collected. If you refrigerate your urine, let it reach room
temperature before testing (about 30 minutes). Do not shake the
container. If sediment forms at the bottom of the collection
container, allow the sediment to settle. Use only urine from the top
of the container.
WHEN TO START TESTING
Determine the Length of
Your Menstrual Cycle. your Menstrual Cycle Length is the number of
days from the first day of your period (menstrual bleeding) to the
last day before your next period starts. Think back over the last
few months to decide what your usual cycle length has been.
Circle your usual cycle length on the WHEN
TO START CHART below. Select the number directly underneath.
Starting the first day of your last
period, count ahead the selected number of days on your calendar.
This is the day you should begin testing.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Allow the test
device, urine specimen and/or controls to equilibrate to room
temperature (15-30°C) prior to testing.
1.
Determine the day you will begin testing.
(See the above section: “WHEN TO START TESTING”).
2.
Remove the test device from the sealed
pouch and use it as soon as possible.
3.
Place the test device on a clean and level
surface. Hold the dropper vertically and transfer 3 full drops of
urine (approx. 100µL) to the specimen well (S) of the test device,
and then start the timer. Avoid trapping air bubbles in the specimen
well (S). See illustration below.
