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. The ID bands have a hydrophobic (water repellent) coating that helps to prevent build-up of liquid. Touching this band may disrupt the coating and allow more fluid to collect on the band. This can cause a strip identification error. As stated in the product insert, test pads, including ID bands, should not be touched. Specific gravity tells you how concentrated the urine is and simply reflects how much or little you are drinking. In chronic renal failure, the kidney cannot concentrate urine and it is always weak with a low specific gravity (dark green). Ketones — at 40 seconds look at the ketone square—if ketones are present then they may have changed to a dark purple. Ketones can be present in diabetes but the usual cause for them is hunger. If you’ve found ketones in your urine, go and have something to eat which includes some carbohydrate and test again after 30 minutes to 1 hour. If ketones are still present then you need to see your GP. One cause of ketones is a low carbohydrate diet used in some slimming regimes. Having ketones is not harmful (Eskimos are in a state of permanent ketosis). Enables user compliance with IVDD regulations by reporting results only from urinalysis strips that have been validated for use on the CLINITEK Status analyzers.

Excellent customer service and support standards that you can rely on with highly trained technical support staff and customer education programs including Siemens' Encyclopedia of Urinalysis. 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.

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. Protein — if protein is present then the colour changes to a bottle-green. Protein is a sign of disease of the renal tract — almost any kidney disease can present with protein in the urine.

In 93% of cases, a negative Multistix 10 SG strip result for leukocyte and nitrite was confirmed negative by urine culture. Multistix 8 SG -virtsatestiliuska myydään 100 liuskaa sisältävissä purkeissa. Avaamaton ja avattu testiliuskapurkki säilyy oikein säilytettynä purkissa kerrottuun vanhenemispäivään (exp.date) asti. 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. 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.Farla Medical Healthcare Price Match extra guarantees that we will match and better any quotation on any equipment or consumable you might have found for a lower price than ours*. On top of that we will also give you a special gift to thank you for your loyalty. Farla Medical is always looking at ways to add value for you. Each Multistix strip includes tests for 10 different urinalysis parameters inluding Glucose, pH, Nitrite and Leukocyte Esterase. By using Multistix, you could make substantial savings on urinalysis and urine culture tests. Reduce Interpretation Error Yes, if too much liquid is left on the ID band area. Dip It Right! Using the proper dipping technique greatly reduces the likelihood of these errors. 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 Eliminates the need to manually select strip type if using different urinalysis strips – saves time and reduces possible errors.
