What It’s For

This kit is designed to help screen for urinary tract infections (UTIs) — common bacterial infections that affect the bladder or urinary system. It can help identify infections that cause symptoms such as:

• Burning or stinging sensation when passing urine
• Frequent urge to urinate, even when little urine is passed
• Cloudy, strong-smelling, or discoloured urine
• Lower abdominal or back discomfort

If your test is positive, contact your pharmacist or GP for advice — you may need a urine culture and antibiotic treatment.

Directions for Use

• Collect a fresh urine sample using the cup provided.
• Dip the test strip into the sample for the time stated in the leaflet (usually 1–2 seconds).
• Remove the strip and gently tap off excess urine.
• Lay it flat and wait the indicated time (about 2 minutes).
• Compare the colour changes on the strip pads with the chart provided.
• Record your results and consult a healthcare professional if leukocytes or nitrites are detected.

Precautions & Warnings

• For human urine testing only — not for veterinary use.
• Single-use diagnostic device. Do not reuse test strips.
• Store at room temperature in a dry place; keep out of direct sunlight and moisture.
• Do not touch the reagent pads before use.
• Do not use after the expiry date or if packaging is damaged.
• If you experience fever, flank pain, vomiting, or blood in the urine, seek immediate medical attention — these may indicate a kidney infection.

Performance & Helpful Info

• Detects leukocytes, nitrites, and protein — markers commonly associated with bacterial UTIs.
• Results within 2 minutes.
• Accuracy reported at over 95% in controlled conditions.
• CE-marked for home diagnostic use in the UK and EU.

This test helps screen for a possible urinary infection. It cannot identify the specific bacteria responsible, so follow up with your pharmacist or GP for confirmation and treatment if positive.

FAQs

Can the test confirm exactly what bacteria I have?
No. This test detects infection markers only. Your doctor may order a urine culture to identify the specific bacteria.

Can I use this test while on antibiotics?
No. Antibiotics may affect the results. Wait at least 48 hours after finishing a course of antibiotics before testing again.

What if my result is negative but symptoms continue?
You could have a different condition, such as cystitis without infection, kidney stones, or dehydration. Always see your GP if symptoms persist.
