Pregnancy test (stream)
A high-sensitivity, flow-based, rapid pregnancy test with an indicator detects elevated levels of the hormone hCG in the urine, which is produced by the body during pregnancy (human chorionic gonadotropin hCG). The level of the pregnancy hormone increases as the pregnancy progresses.
Sensitivity – 10 mIU/mL. The test can detect hCG 5 days before the expected period. It is recommended to use the first morning urine.
About the condition
Early signs of pregnancy—missed periods, breast tenderness, nausea, fatigue, and more frequent urination—can be subtle or similar to premenstrual symptoms. Pregnancy tests detect human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), which the body begins to produce about 6 days after fertilization. This test can detect hCG 5 days before the expected period, but the most reliable result is obtained from the first day of a missed period; if you do not know your cycle length, test no earlier than 21 days after unprotected intercourse. If you get a negative result but your period has not started, repeat the test after 48 hours, and discuss a positive result with a doctor or midwife.
Ingredients
- Midstream test
- Package leaflet
Instructions
Wait until the urine sample has cooled to room temperature (15-30 °C) before performing the test.
- Remove the current test with the indicator from the foil bag and use it immediately, but within one hour at most.
- Remove the cap from the dipstick test and hold the test with the urine stream flowing over the dipstick, or dip the dipstick (about 2/3) into a urine sample taken in a clean container and hold it for at least 15 seconds.
Hold the tip in the urine until the colour of the indicator changes completely (the indicator indicates the correct amount of sample to test).
NOTE: Do not pee directly on the results box. - Put the lid on the test and place the test on a flat and stable surface. Switch on the timer immediately.
- Read the result after 3 minutes. After 10 minutes, do not check the result again.
Results
| Positive | Two coloured lines appear. One line should appear in the control area (C) and the other in the test area (T). One line may be lighter than the other. They do not have to overlap. This means that you are probably pregnant. |
| Negative | A single coloured line appears in the control area (C). No line is visible in the test line area (T). This means that you are probably not pregnant. |
| Not valid | The result is invalid if no coloured line appears in the control line area (C) even if a line appears in the test line area (T). You should repeat the test using a new current test. |

Frequently asked questions
How does a midstream pregnancy test differ from a strip test?
The midstream test does not need to be dipped into a container – it is held under the urine stream. Both types of tests detect the same hCG hormone.
When to take a pregnancy test?
This test can detect hCG 5 days before the expected period, but the most reliable result is from the first day of the missed period, with the first morning urine. If the result is negative and your period is late, repeat the test after 48 hours.
What to do if the test is positive?
It is recommended to schedule an appointment with a doctor or an obstetrician-gynecologist, who will confirm the pregnancy and prescribe further care.
