GENERAL INFORMATION

A blood pregnancy test is a self-diagnostic rapid test for detecting pregnancy that detects the presence of the hormone hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) in a blood sample. While pregnancy can be detected from urine approximately 1 week after a missed period, blood tests indicate pregnancy several days after fertilization. It is known that blood pregnancy tests are more accurate than urine tests. This is why blood/serum pregnancy tests are widely used in laboratories/hospitals. In addition, the amount of fluid consumed, which can affect the results of a urine test (dilution of hCG), has no effect on a blood test. The accuracy of the test is very important, because pregnancy necessarily requires preventive measures and lifestyle changes, such as quitting smoking or drinking alcohol, reducing or even eliminating medications and certain foods. The pregnancy blood test is a qualitative rapid test for the detection of the hCG hormone in the blood. In just 5 minutes, it is possible to detect an hCG concentration of 25 IU/L.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

How does a pregnancy blood test work?

When a woman becomes pregnant, her body begins to produce a hormone – human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) – which is released into the bloodstream, where its concentration increases over time. A pregnancy blood test detects the hormone hCG in the blood. A pregnancy blood test uses a specific pair of antibodies that detect the hCG hormone in the blood when the hormone level is at least 25 IU/L (as recommended by WHO) or higher. *World Health Organization

When should this test be used?

A blood pregnancy test can be performed at any time of the day or night. A blood pregnancy test can detect pregnancy earlier than a urine test because the hCG hormone produced by the placenta is first released into the bloodstream and then into the urine. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to collect first morning urine to increase the chance of early pregnancy detection.

Can the result be incorrect?

The results are reliable provided that all instructions have been carefully followed. However, the result may be incorrect if the blood pregnancy test has been exposed to moisture before use or if the amount of blood sample is too small. The plastic pipette provided in the package allows you to ensure the correct volume of blood is collected. Some medications containing hCG or medications used in combination with hCG (such as Pregnyl, Porfasi, Pergonal) and some rare diseases may give a false positive result. Alcohol, analgesics, antibiotics, birth control pills, hormone therapy containing clomiphene citrate (such as Clomid, Serophen) or painkillers should not affect the test result. The test may show a false positive result if you have had a miscarriage, abortion or childbirth within the last 8 weeks. The test is likely to detect hCG that is still present in your body.

How to interpret the test if the color intensity of the T and C lines is different?

The color intensity of the lines has no effect on the interpretation of the result. The lines must be clearly visible and homogeneous. The test must be considered positive, regardless of the color intensity of the line under the letter T.

What does the line under the letter C indicate?

When this line appears, it means that the test has worked well.

If I read the test after 10 minutes, is the result still reliable?

No. The result must be read within 5 minutes of adding the buffer solution. Do not read the test after 10 minutes.

What should I do if the test is positive?

If the result is positive, you should consult your GP or gynecologist to discuss your pregnancy and the next steps. Early prenatal care is very important for the safety of the next stage of pregnancy.

What should I do if the test is negative?

If the test is negative, it is likely that your blood does not contain hCG or contains very low levels of hCG (the test detects an hCG concentration greater than 25 IU/L) and that you are therefore most likely not pregnant. In addition, you may have incorrectly calculated the date of your period, especially if it is irregular. If your period does not start within a week, repeat the test. If another result is negative and your period has not started, you should consult your GP or gynecologist. There may be other reasons for the delay.

How accurate is the pregnancy blood test?

The pregnancy blood test is accurate. Evaluation reports show an overall agreement of more than 98% [95.2–99.5%**] with reference methods. Although the test is reliable, a false negative or false positive result may occasionally occur. **95% confidence interval
