The test is a “dip and read strip” for in-vitro diagnostics to test the following parameters in urine:
- Glucose (sugar)
- Blood
- Protein (egg white)
- Nitrite
- Leukocytes (white blood cells)
The urine controltest5 consists of 10 test strips with 5 parameters each, which are packed in a plastic tube with desiccant.
Pharmacy central number (PZN): 13352367
Areas of application
Testing urine using our urine controltest5 can provide information on the status of carbohydrate metabolism (“diabetes”), kidney function and urinary tract infections.
The use of our urine control test is useful in the following cases, among others:
- For burning or pain when urinating
- For frequent urination
- For blood in the urine
The application is suitable for people of all genders and ages.
During pregnancy, women are particularly susceptible to urinary tract infections due to hormonal and physical changes.
Caution: As soon as the test shows the first signs of a result that deviates from the norm, a visit to a doctor is recommended.
Further information & tips
How do urine test strips work?
There are 5 square color fields on the test strips, one for each parameter.
After immersing the test strips in urine, the color fields change color depending on the concentration of the respective substance in the urine.
How reliable are urine test strips?
The analytical sensitivity of the urine control test is > 90 %, which means that the test strips reliably measure substances in the urine.
As the product is a self-test, the correct interpretation of the test results depends on the individual case.
If you are unsure, you should consult a doctor.
How long must the test strip be immersed in the urine?
The test strip should only be immersed in the urine for a short time, approx. 1 second, so that all test fields are moistened with urine.
How long does it take until the test result can be read?
The result can be read after 60 seconds (leukocytes only after 120 seconds).
What does the glucose (sugar) parameter on the urine test strip indicate?
The kidneys normally excrete small amounts of glucose.
The presence of glucose in the urine is often an indication of diabetes mellitus (“diabetes”).
Pregnancy or a congenital malfunction of the urinary system can also be responsible for glucose in the urine.
What does the blood parameter on the urine test strip indicate?
Blood can be detected in the urine of women during their menstruation.
The concentration of blood in the urine of healthy people is very low.
The main cause of an increased concentration of blood in the urine are diseases of the kidneys and urinary tract.
However, severe physical exertion, burns or infectious diseases (e.g. cystitis) can also be the cause.
What does the protein parameter on the urine test strip indicate?
Urine samples usually contain small amounts of protein.
The presence of persistently high levels of protein may indicate kidney or urinary tract disease.
What does the nitrite parameter on the urine test strip indicate?
Normally, no nitrite is detectable in the urine.
The most common pathogens of urinary tract infections, such as Escherichia coli and most other urinary pathogens, convert the nitrate ingested with food into nitrite.
Detection in urine is suitable for early detection and relapse prevention of urinary tract infections.
What does the leukocytes (white blood cells) parameter on the urine test strip indicate?
Normally, no leukocytes are detectable in the urine.
Leukocytes are excreted in increased quantities in the event of inflammation and infections of the kidneys and urinary tract.
Material & cleaning
Each test strip (5 x 5 mm test pad area) contains the following components:
Glucose: Glucose oxidase 430U, Peroxidase 200U, o-Toldine 12 mg
Blood: Cumene Hydroperoxide 12mg, o-Tolidine 35 mg
Protein: Tetrabromophenol blue 0.34 mg
Nitrites: P-arsanilic acid 4.5 mg
Leukocytes: Induced Indole amino acid ester 1.3 mg
Each test strip is intended for single use only.
Used test strips should be covered with a cloth and disposed of in the household waste to avoid misuse of used strips.
