Accu-Clear® Pregnancy Test Strips

Can detect pregnancy as early as 6 days before your missed period1

Pregnancy Test Strips

The Accu-Clear® Pregnancy Test strips detect the presence of hCG (human Chorionic Gonadotrophin), which increases rapidly in the early stages of pregnancy. Just place the test into the urine sample, and if you are pregnant, two colored lines will appear to show hCG has been detected. Accu-Clear® Pregnancy Test strips are designed to detect hCG as early as 5 days before your expected period, i.e. as early as 6 days before the day of your missed period1.

HOW TO READ THE RESULT

When you take a test, you should see the control line (C) appear close to the pink handle 5 minutes after sampling (it may even appear sooner). This tells you that the test worked.

Positive result: Two colored lines appear, one at the test line (T) position and another at the control line (C) position.
Negative result: Only one colored line appears in the control line (C) position. No colored line in the test line (T) position.
Invalid result: Absence of a colored line in the control line (C) position is an invalid result. You should repeat with a new test.

FAQs

HOW DOES THE Accu-Clear® PREGNANCY TEST WORK?

When you are pregnant, your body produces the pregnancy hormone hCG. This hormone appears in your urine shortly after fertilization takes place. The Accu-Clear® Pregnancy Test can detect small amounts of this hormone in your urine.

WHEN CAN I TEST WITH Accu-Clear® PREGNANCY TEST?

These pregnancy test strips can be used to detect hCG as early as 5 days before your expected period (6 days before the day of your missed period). Since the amount of hCG increases in the early stages of pregnancy, if you test before your period is due and get a negative ‘Not Pregnant’ result, you may still be pregnant. See the chart below for results from clinical testing of the Accu-Clear® Pregnancy Test:



Not sure what the day of your expected period is? Take the average of the cycle length of the past 3 months and count the number of days from the first day of your last period.

IF I GET A POSITIVE RESULT, WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?

This means hCG is present in your urine and you are probably pregnant. See your healthcare provider as soon as possible to discuss the next steps you should take.

I SEE TWO LINES, BUT ONE IS DARKER THAN THE OTHER. IS THIS A POSITIVE RESULT?

Yes, this should be interpreted as a positive result. It means hCG has been detected in your urine, but in a low concentration. If there are two lines, no matter how faint the test line is, it is a positive result.

IF THE RESULT IS NEGATIVE, WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?

A negative result means no hCG has been detected in your urine. You are probably not pregnant, or the level of pregnancy hormone may not be high enough to be detected yet, or you may have miscalculated the day your period was expected.

Test again with a fresh test and fresh urine sample a few days later if you still suspect you are pregnant. If your period has still not started, and the second test result is negative, consult your healthcare provider.

CAN I GET A FALSE OR MISLEADING RESULT?

Negative results are expected in healthy non-pregnant women. If you do get an unexpected result, you should consult your healthcare provider.

• Fertility drugs containing hCG may give misleading results (these fertility drugs are usually given by injection and testing too soon after administration may give a misleading Pregnant result).
• The test should not be affected by other fertility therapies, pain killers, antibiotics, or hormonal contraceptives (e.g. contraceptive pill).
• If you have recently stopped using hormonal contraception or are using fertility therapies, your periods may be irregular, leading you to test too soon.
• If you have recently been pregnant (for example, delivery, spontaneous abortion, or termination), you may get a misleading Pregnant result.

HOW DO I KNOW THE TEST WORKED?

If you see the control line (C), this tells you that the test worked correctly.

HOW LONG DOES THE RESULT LAST?

You’ll need to wait 5 minutes to read the results. You can read the results up to 15 minutes after taking the test but results after 15 minutes should be disregarded. A strong positive result can appear as soon as 10 to 30 seconds, but a weak result may take longer to develop (5 minutes). Make sure you wait a full 5 minutes to confirm a negative result.

DOES ALCOHOL AFFECT THE TEST?

The test should not be affected by alcohol. However, it is not recommended to use the test after drinking lots of any liquid.

HOW ACCURATE IS Accu-Clear® PREGNANCY TEST?

Clinical evaluation has shown that it is more than 99% accurate from the day of your expected period2. The amount of hCG will vary greatly depending on how far along you are, and between individuals.
