*  Velocit is a simple one-step pregnancy diagnosis kit.

*  Velocit works by detecting the pregnancy hormone (hCG) in a urine sample.

*  hCG or Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is a hormone that appears in the urine when a woman is pregnant approximately 20 days after her last menstrual period. This pregnancy hormone level then rises rapidly reaching a peak level by 8-12 weeks of gestation.

When to Use?

Velocit can be used to detect pregnancy as early as the missed day of menses . In some women though, the levels of hCG are not detectable so early in the pregnancy. If the test is negative, repeat test after 72 hours.

It is advisable to wait a couple of days after missing period, before performing the test. This will help avoid a falsely negative test.

For optimal detection of pregnancy, first urine sample of the day is preferred. However, randomly collected urine sample may also be used.

Fresh urine sample is desirable for optimum results of the test.

How to Use:

Simple steps to collect urine sample:

*  The urinal sample is to be collected in a clean & dry glass container.

*  Do not use the container which is washed with a detergent /soap. Detergents might interfere with the result of the test.

*  For optimal detection of pregnancy, first urine sample of the day is preferred. However, randomly collected urine sample may also be used.

*  Fresh urine sample is desirable for optimum results of the test.

Follow the steps carefully to diagnose pregnancy:

1. Take out the test device from the pouch just before you start the test . Do not remove the test device from the pouch & keep it open for a long period of time

2. Your test device has a well marked “S” ( samples well ) & a result well marked “C” ( control region ) & “T” ( test region )

3. Keep the test device away from fan ,drier or breeze of air while performing the test

4. Keep the test device on a flat surface

5. Collect the urine sample with the help of a dropper

6. Add exactly 3 drops of urine sample in the well marked “S”. Do not add the urine sample in the test window “C” & “T” or any other part of the test device.

Reading Results:

Procedure & Interpretation of results:

*  Allow specimens (urine sample) & the test device to come to room temperature prior to testing

*  Remove the reaction device from its protective wrapper

*  Fill the dropper with specimen (urine sample) & add exactly 3 drops of urine in the sample well (S )

*  Read results within 5 minutes & interpret the results as follows

Positive:

If two distinct colour bands (pink/purple) appear, one in the test region (T), one in the control region (C) within 5 minutes, then the test is positive.

Positive indicates woman is Pregnant, for further confirmation consult Gynaecologist.

Negative: 

If only one distinct colour band (pink/purple) appears in the control region (C) within 5 minutes then the test in negative.

Negative indicates that woman may not be Pregnant. If periods are further delayed repeat test after a week and consult Gynaecologist for confirmation.

Invalid :

If no distinct colour band appear ,both in the test region (T) & in the control region (C) within 5 minutes, then the test is invalid. It is recommended in the case to repeat the test.

Read the result within 5 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 5 minutes. Appearance of test lines after 5 minutes may not have any significance. If you want to confirm, discard the used test device & repeat the above test with a fresh test device & fresh samples.

Storage and Stability:

Velocit, is to be stored at 2-8° C in the sealed pouch. Do not freeze test kit. Do not use after expiry date, stamped on the label.
