accufast hcg pregnancy test mid stream 1s

the accufast one step hcg pregnancy test is a self-performing immunoassay designed for the qualitative determination of human chorionic gonadotropin (hcg) in urine for early detection of pregnancy.human chorionic gonadotropin (hcg) is a hormone secreted by the developing placenta shortly after fertilization. during normal pregnancy, hcg can be detected in urine as early as 7 days following conception, doubling every 1 to 2 days. at the time of the last missed menstrual period, urine hcg levels are about 100mlu/ml with peak levels of 100,000 to 200,000mlu/ml seen at the end of the first trimester. the presence of hcg soon after conception and its subsequent increase in concentration during early gestational growth make it an ideal marker for the early detection of pregnancy. instructions for use:-•remove the test stick from the foil pouch •remove the cap to expose the absorbent tip •hold the stick by the thumb grip with the exposed absorbent tip pointing downward. urinate on the absorbent tip only until it is thoroughly wet.•lay the test stick down on a flat surface with the windows on top •read the results within five minutesinterpretation of results:-negative: if only one line appears in the control areapositive: if two lines appear both in the control area and test areainvalid: if there is no distinct coloured band visible both in the test area and control area, or only a coloured band is visible in the test area
