FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do you still have questions? We may have already answered your questions in the list below.
The test is able to detect a very small quantity (sensitivity of 10mIU/mL) of hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), a hormone produced by the body from the start of pregnancy. It is recommended to use the test as close as possible to the expected date of menstruation in order to obtain the best reliability of the NG PRECISION+ test. Indeed, if the test is carried out too early, it is possible that the hCG hormone level is not high enough to be detected, which would cause a negative result.
You should wait at least 5 minutes before reading the result (do not wait more than 10 minutes to read the result).
The color of the lines may vary from one test to another by being more or less dark. It does not matter.
If 2 lines appear (even faint), you are pregnant.
Consult your doctor or gynecologist who will tell you what to do.
You may have taken your test too early in relation to your expected period. Repeat the test 48 hours later. If the test is still negative 3 days after your expected period, consult your doctor.
The NG PRECISION+ test allows you to detect a potential pregnancy wherever you are and at any time, day or night without the constraints of a urine test.
In addition, when you are pregnant, the body produces a hormone (hCG) which is more quickly detectable in the blood than in the urine. Blood is also used by medical laboratories for pregnancy testing.
As a general rule, it is advisable to use the middle or ring finger of the left hand if you are right-handed or the middle or ring finger of the right hand if you are left-handed. Among those fingers, choose the one that allows you to be the most comfortable during manipulations.
The blood drop must be taken from the lateral edge of the end of your finger (one of the sides).
To obtain the drop of blood needed to use the test, start by massaging your finger from its base to its end several times to facilitate the flow of blood. Disinfect the area with the wipe provided and allow to dry.
Position the grey button on the side edge of the end of your finger then firmly press your finger on the grey button of the test, until it “clicks”. Squeeze the finger behind the puncture site to form the drop of blood. If the drop of blood does not completely fill the capillary tube of the test, squeeze your finger again.
A study on several women was carried out where the collection of the drop of blood was classified as painless.
Possible reasons:
- You did not lay your test flat after collection.
- You did not wait the minimum time to read the result.
- You did not apply enough blood in the capillary tube.
In all cases, you must repeat the test.
- Certain medications, treatments or conditions can affect the result, such as hCG fertility drugs administered by injection.
- If you have recently been pregnant, the test may show a residue of hCG in blood.
- If you are in the menopause or pre-menopause.
If you get unexpected results, talk to your doctor.
No, the NG PRECISION+ pregnancy test is personal and for single use only.
