Siemens Multistix 8 SG Urine Reagent Test Strips - 100/BOX

Product Information

Robertson AW, Duff P. The nitrite and leukocyte estarase tests for the evaluation of asymptomatic bacteriuria in obstetrics. Obstet. Gynnecol 1988;71:878-81. Nitrites and leucocytes — these two tests together may suggest infection of the urinary tract. If one or other are positive then you must see your GP so that s/he can send a sample of urine off for microscopy and culture to see which bug is there and to which antibiotic it is sensitive. If you have symptoms such as fever, pain on peeing, urgency, constant desire to pee, feeling ill etc then an antibiotic should be started at once on a “best guess” basis (usually trimethoprim). If there are no symptoms then it is reasonable just to monitor the situation for a while. Urine testing with multistix is an extremely useful test to do on children who have a high temperature because urine infections are often overlooked as a possible cause of fever. Siemens’ internal studies show that the ID band can be dipped without errors or strip misidentification issues if proper technique is used. Follow the Dip It Right! instructions listed above.

Eliminates the need to manually select strip type if using different urinalysis strips – saves time and reduces possible errors. Testiliuska tarkoitettu määrittämään potilaan virtsasta rutiinitestin omaisesti kahdeksan eri määritettä. CLINITEK Status+ tai CLINITEK Advantus analysaattoreiden avulla virtsa-analytiikkaan saadaan luotettavuutta ja analysaattoreiden automaattitoimintojen avulla virheet saadaan minimoitua. Multistix 8 SG testialueiden värin muutos voidaan lukea myös visuaalisesti vertaamalla koealuetta purkin etiketissä oleviin värineliöihin etiketissä annetussa ajassa. A multicenter study was conducted to identify patients with potential UTIs. There were 1,887 urine specimens tested comparing the leukocyte and nitrite results of Multistix urinalysis strips to urine culture. Dip (1) strip in urine sample. Wet all pads Note: The ID band can be dipped if proper dipping technique is used.Säilytys huoneenlämmössä, testiliuskapurkin korkki tiiviisti suljettuna ja suoranaiselta valolta suojattuna Nitrites — if nitrites are present then a pink colour shows. Nitrites are created when bacteria in the urine convert urea to nitrite – nitrites usually mean infection – see below We have over 50 years of experience in serving urine testing needs and continues a tradition of providing high quality products and services. Multistix 10 SG urinalysis strips are an effective "rule-out" tool for patients with suspected UTI. Better Indicator of UTIs - Combining leukocyte (WBC) and nitrite tests gives a better indication of the presence of a urinary tract infection than any one test parameter

Healthcommunities.com, Inc. http://www.visionchannel.net/colorvision; Information retrieved on March 7, 2003. No. The leukocyte pad is used to determine if the strip has been degraded from exposure to humidity. Only those Siemens strips with the leukocyte pad can detect humidity over-exposure.Studies have shown that when urinalysis is performed with an instrument, sensitivity is increased and positives are correctly identified and reported. 5 Siemens Multistix are the gold-standard for urine analysis, providing a fast and convenient way to test for the presence of 10 separate reagents in urine. The results obtained from these multistix can help provide information about diabetes, liver function and kidney function amongst others. Siemens is committed to continuous innovation in urinalysis and providing our customers with solutions for improved workflow and improved clinical information at the point of care.

Glucose — at 30 seconds look at the colour of the glucose square. If there is any glucose (or sugar) present it will change colour, possibly to a dark brown. Any amount of glucose in the urine needs further investigation by your GP – you may be diabetic.pH — this tells you how acid or alkali the urine is. It can be used as a guide to hyperventilation as it goes greeny blue (alkali) in people who hyperventilate.

Combining the results of leukocyte (WBC) and nitrite is a better predictor of the presence or absence of urinary tract infection, than any one test parameter alone. 3 In 93% of cases, a negative Multistix 10 SG strip result for leukocyte and nitrite was confirmed negative by urine culture. Can also be used with Siemens Clinitek Status and Clinitek Status+ Analysers for automatic analysis of results. Enables user compliance with IVDD regulations by reporting results only from urinalysis strips that have been validated for use on the CLINITEK Status analyzers. The test strips can be used on Siemens’ CLINITEK Status ® and CLINITEK Advantus ® analyzers without impacting performance.Applying a drop of control to the top of a test pad does not ensure optimum performance for each reagent. Do not drop control solution onto the ID band. To ensure optimum performance refer to “Proper dipping techniques for Siemens urinalysis test strips” above. If reading the test strips with identification (ID) bands visually, continue to use the proper handling technique stated in the product labeling to optimize test processing: Minimizes false-positive results with automatic notification if test strip has been degraded from humidity, preventing potentially erroneous patient results from being reported.* Multistix 8 SG -virtsatestiliuska myydään 100 liuskaa sisältävissä purkeissa.
