Intended Use
HCG Pregnancy Test is a self-testing immunoassay made
for the rapid, visual and qualitative determination of human
chorionic gonadotropin(HCG) in urine specimen to aid in
the early detection of pregnancy.
Summary
Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is a glycoprotein
hormone secreted by the developing placenta shortly after
fertilization. In normal pregnancy, HCG can be detected in
serum as early as 7 days following conception. The
concentration of HCG continues to rise rapidly, frequently
exceeding 100 mIU/mL by the first missed menstrual
period and peaking in the 100,000-200,000 mIU/mL range
by 10-12 weeks into pregnancy. The appearance of HCG
soon after conception and its subsequent rise in
concentration during early gestational growth make it an
excellent marker for the early detection of pregnancy.
Storage And Stability:
The test strip can be stored at 2-30°C in the sealed pouch.
The test strip is stable through the expiration date printed
on the sealed pouch. DO NOT FREEZE.
