DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Allow the test card and urine specimen to equilibrate to room
temperature (15-30 degrees C) prior to testing. (Body temperature is 37
degrees C). A simple disposable cup for the
specimine (styrofoam or paper, etc.) works fine and is
cheap. It should be clean but does not need to be sterile. First
morning urine tends to yield better results but a random sample is
perfectly fine too.
1. Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening it. Remove the
test card from the sealed pouch and use it as soon as possible. Remove the protective cap from the end of the test card.
With arrows pointing toward the urine specimen, immerse the strip(s) of
the test card vertically in the urine specimen for at the least 10-15
seconds. Immerse the test card to at least the level of the wavy lines
on the strip(s), but not above the arrow(s) on the test card.
2. Place the test card on a non-absorbent flat surface, start
the timer and wait for the red line(s) to appear. The results should be
read at 5 minutes. Do not interpret results after 10 minutes.
INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS
Negative:* Two lines appear. One red line should be in the
control region (C), and another apparent red or pink line adjacent
should be in the test region (T). This negative result indicates that
the drug concentration is below the detectable level.
*NOTE: The shade of red in the test line region (T) will vary, but
it should be considered negative whenever there is even a faint pink
line.
POSITIVE: One red line appears in the control region (C), No line
appears in the test region (T), and this positive result indicates that
the drug concentration is above the detectable level.
INVALID: Control line falls to appear, insufficient specimen volume
or incorrect procedural techniques are the most likely reasons for
control line failure. Review the procedure and repeat the test using a
new test panel.
