Diagram of Test

1. Place the test horizontally on a clean flat surface.

2. Make sure to wait 5 minutes after administration to read the results. Reading too early or too late may yield incorrect interpretation of the results and may vary according to user’s experience.

3. After five minutes, uncap the test and interpret the results based on the guidelines below.

Negative Result: Not Pregnant

Pay attention to the rectangular area in the middle of the test. One red color band should always appear. This is the control line and it is designed to validate the test and should be crisp and clear in intensity with white membrane background. No other lines should be visible in the area.

Positive Results: Possible Pregnancy

The red control line should be visible. Additionally there should be another line under it of slightly weaker color intensity in comparison to the control line.

Call John immediately (217-6221) from the lab phone if you read positive test results.

Invalid Results
If there is no visible red control line in the rectangular area, this test should be discarded and a new test should be administered.
