Precautions for Use
・Things not to do
Do not make a definitive judgment of pregnancy based on the test result yourself.
If the result is positive, pregnancy is possible, but it cannot determine whether the pregnancy is normal, so please seek a diagnosis from a doctor as soon as possible.
A definitive diagnosis of pregnancy is made by a doctor based on medical history, ultrasound examination, and other results.
・Things to consult about
People who should consult a doctor before use.
People undergoing infertility treatment
Even if the result is negative, if menstruation does not start afterward, please re-test or consult a doctor.
・Precautions regarding timing of testing
If your menstrual cycle is regular
This test can be used approximately one week after the expected date of menstruation if your cycle is regular.
However, in early pregnancy, some individuals may have very low levels of hCG in urine, which can result in a negative or unclear result.
If about a week has passed since such a result and menstruation has not started, please re-test or consult a doctor.
・If your menstrual cycle is irregular
In cases of irregular cycles, determine the expected date based on the previous cycle and test approximately one week after that date.
If the result is negative and menstruation does not start afterward, please re-test or consult a doctor.
・Other precautions
Discontinue use of the test strip after use and dispose of it as non-burnable waste according to local disposal regulations.
・Precautions regarding urine collection
Do not use highly turbid urine or urine containing foreign objects.
When collecting urine in a cup for testing, use a dry, clean container.
Before testing, do not drink excessive water.
Dilution of the sample may lower the concentration of hCG in urine.
・Precautions regarding testing procedure
Perform the test promptly after urine collection.
Leaving urine for a long time may change the test results.
The urine used for testing can be from any time of day.
However, to minimize influence on hCG concentration, try to use first-morning urine.
