【SUMMARY】
Menopause is the permanent cessation of menstruation but is
usually not scientifically diagnosed until one full year after a woman’s
menstrual periods have stopped. The period leading up to menopause, and the 12
months following, is known as perimenopause. The FSH Rapid Test Strip /
Cassette (Urine) is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative
detection of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) in urine to aid in the
detection of menopause.
【DIRECTIONS
FOR USE OF STRIP】
Allow the test, urine specimen and/or controls to reach room temperature (15-
30°C) prior to testing.
1. Determine the day to begin testing. (See the above section: “WHEN TO START
TESTING”).
2. Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening it. Remove the test Strip
from the sealed pouch or closed canister and use it as soon as possible.
NOTE: For canister packaging, immediately close the canister tightly after
removing the required number of the test Strip(s). Record the initial opening
date on the canister. Once the canister has been opened, the remaining test
Strip(s) are stable for 90 days only.
3. With arrows pointing toward the urine specimen, immerse the test Strip
vertically in the urine specimen for at least 10-15 seconds. Do not pass the
maximum line (MAX) on the test Strip when immersing the Strip. See illustration
below.
4. Place the test Strip on a non-absorbent flat surface, start the timer and wait for the colored line(s) to appear. Read results at 3 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 10 minutes.
【DIRECTIONS
FOR USE OF CASSETTE】
Allow the test, urine specimen and/or controls to reach room temperature
(15-30°C) prior to testing.
1. Determine the day to begin testing. (See the above section: “WHEN TO START
TESTING”).
2. Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening it. Remove the test
cassette from the sealed pouch and use it within one hour.
3. Place the test cassette on a clean and level surface. Hold the sample
dropper vertically and transfer 3 drops of urine (approx.120ul) to the specimen
well of the test cassette, and then start the timer. Avoid trapping air bubbles
in the specimen well. See
illustration below.
4. Wait for the colored line(s) to appear. Read the result at 3 minutes. Do not
interpret the result after 10 minutes.
