Assurance Pregnancy Test Strip (PT Test)
The Assurance Pregnancy Test Strip is a rapid, one-step hCG dipstick used for reliable early pregnancy detection. It is a trusted diagnostic tool in Nigeria, valued for its accuracy, affordability, and ease of use. This PT test works by detecting the Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) hormone in your urine, which your body produces after a fertilized egg attaches to the uterus.
How to Use PT Strip for Pregnancy Test
For the most accurate results, it is best to use your first morning urine when hCG levels are most concentrated.
- Collect Sample: Collect a urine sample in a clean, dry container.
- Prepare Strip: Remove the Assurance test strip from its foil pouch.
- Dip: Immerse the absorbent tip of the strip into the urine with the arrow pointing downwards. Important: Do not immerse past the "MAX" line.
- Wait: Remove the strip after 10 seconds and lay it flat on a clean, non-absorbent surface.
- Read Result: Wait for 3 to 5 minutes to read the result. Do not interpret results after 10 minutes.
Interpreting Your Results
- Positive (Pregnant): Two distinct colored lines appear—one in the control region (C) and one in the test region (T). Even a faint line in the (T) region usually indicates a positive result.
- Negative (Not Pregnant): Only one colored line appears in the control region (C).
- Invalid: No lines appear at all, or only the test line (T) appears. This suggests the test was not performed correctly or the strip is damaged. Repeat with a new strip.
