Product Information
Full details

It offers a comprehensive screening for key health indicators including blood, glucose, leukocytes, protein, nitrite, ketones, and pH, aiding in the early detection and monitoring of conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, and urinary tract infections. A key benefit is its ability to provide multiple test results from a single strip, streamlining the diagnostic process. However, results are qualitative and require interpretation alongside other clinical findings.

FAQs
How should the Multistix US007 GP Test Strips be stored?
Store the sealed bottle in a dry place at controlled room temperature (15-30°C or 59-86°F), protected from light and moisture. Do not refrigerate. Keep the bottle tightly capped.
What does the 'GP' in the product name signify?
The 'GP' likely refers to the common parameters tested: Glucose and Protein, which are often key indicators for various health conditions.
Can these test strips be used for quantitative measurement?
The Multistix US007 GP Test Strips are primarily designed for semi-quantitative or qualitative screening. For precise quantitative measurements, laboratory-based methods may be required.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 1-2 minutes after dipping the strip, depending on the specific parameter being read. Refer to the product insert for exact timing for each test pad.
What should I do if a test result is abnormal?
Abnormal results should always be interpreted by a healthcare professional in the context of the patient's overall clinical picture, medical history, and other diagnostic tests.
Can these test strips be used by non-healthcare professionals at home?
These are in-vitro diagnostic medical devices intended for use by trained healthcare professionals in a clinical setting. Home use is not recommended without proper medical guidance and training.
What is the shelf life of the test strips?
The shelf life is indicated by the expiration date printed on the bottle. Do not use strips past this date, as accuracy may be compromised.
Troubleshooting
Inconsistent or unclear color results
Ensure the strip was fully immersed for the specified time and compare colors immediately in good lighting. Check the expiration date and storage conditions of the bottle.
Strip shows unexpected results (e.g., positive for parameter not clinically suspected)
Repeat the test with a new strip from a different part of the bottle, ensuring correct technique. Correlate results with other clinical findings and consider potential interfering substances or medications.
Difficulty reading color chart
Ensure adequate lighting and hold the color chart at the same distance as the reagent pads. Avoid fluorescent lighting which can distort colors. Use a new color chart if the existing one is damaged or faded.
