The reliability of a screening result depends most on following the procedure carefully. The test is intended for home use, but just like any other medical device, careful preparation and respect for the instructions greatly reduce the risk of error.
Before you begin
Prepare clean tools, follow the leaflet, and work with a fresh urine sample. A calm setting and enough time help prevent rushed steps.
During the test
Follow the recommended amount of reagents, the order of steps, and the specified reading time. If a step is missed or you are unsure whether the test was performed correctly, the result should not be interpreted on its own.
After reading the result
A positive or unclear result is a reason for further medical evaluation, not for a final conclusion. A negative result also does not replace preventive care or evaluation of persistent symptoms.
