Assurance Pregnancy Test Strip (PT Test)
The Assurance Pregnancy Test Strip is a rapid, one-step hCG dipstick used for early pregnancy detection. It is a reliable diagnostic tool trusted by many in Nigeria for its accuracy and ease of use. This PT test works by detecting the Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) hormone in your urine.
How to Use Assurance Pregnancy Test Strip
For the most accurate results, it is best to use your first morning urine.
- Collect a urine sample in a clean, dry container.
- Remove the test strip from the foil pouch.
- Dip the strip into the urine with the arrow pointing towards the urine.
- Important: Do not immerse past the "MAX" (maximum) line.
- Take the strip out after 10 seconds and lay it flat on a non-absorbent, clean surface.
- Wait for 3 to 5 minutes to read the result. Do not interpret results after 10 minutes.
How to Interpret PT Test Results
- Positive (Pregnant): Two distinct colored lines appear—one in the control region (C) and one in the test region (T).
- Negative (Not Pregnant): Only one colored line appears in the control region (C).
- Invalid: No lines appear, or only the test line (T) appears. You should repeat the test with a new strip.
Reliability and Accuracy
The Assurance PT test has a sensitivity of 25 mIU/mL, which allows for early detection of pregnancy. When used correctly from the first day of a missed period, it is over 99% accurate. It is NAFDAC-registered (No. 03-2084), ensuring it meets quality standards for health products in Nigeria.
