This test has been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and is performed according to manufacturer’s instructions. Performance characteristics for this test have been verified by Yuma Regional Medical Center Laboratory in compliance with CLIA recommendations.
Collection Instructions
The urine specimen must be collected into a clean, dry container, either plastic or glass. Specimens collected at random may be used; however, the first morning urine generally contains the highest concentration of hormone. A urine sample exhibiting visible precipitates should be filtered, centrifuged, or allowed to settle (obtaining clear aliquots) before testing. Gross hematuria may prevent an accurate reading of test results by masking the positive line.
Methodology
Rapid Chromatographic Immunoassay (CLIA Waived)
