What Do the Markers Show?

Together, the four markers give a picture of whether the composition of the urine differs from normal. Leukocytes refer to white blood cells, while nitrite may point to the metabolism of certain bacteria; the presence of blood and protein may also warrant a medical examination. Interpreting the result is always a task for a doctor.

Who Is It For?

For those who want quick information at home when urinary tract complaints appear, before seeing a doctor. It is a good idea to write down the result and mention it at your medical examination. With a reading time of 2 minutes, the test takes very little time.

Why a Home Rapid Test?

The test can be done discreetly in your own home, without an appointment, and gives a result within minutes. This makes it easier to decide whether you should see a doctor, and you can take the result with you to the consultation. It is especially useful if you find it hard to make time for an appointment at a doctor's office or are looking for a more discreet option.

Use and Storage

Please follow the instructions for use in the package exactly, especially the steps on sample collection and reading time, as following them affects the result. Read the instructions all the way through before collecting the sample, and have a clock or timer ready so you keep to the reading time. Keep the test in its original, unopened packaging until use.

Important Information

The rapid test gives a preliminary, informational result: it does not provide a diagnosis and does not replace a medical examination. If the result is positive or uncertain, or if your symptoms persist despite a negative result, see a doctor, who will decide on any further tests.
