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

Product Information

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. Minimizes false-positive results with automatic notification if test strip has been degraded from humidity, preventing potentially erroneous patient results from being reported. The colours on the stick should correspond with the colours on the left-hand side of the chart (except for specific gravity, which matches the colour on the right-hand side of the chart). Each pad provides a description of the test parameter, shows a simulation of the color changes that may occur during a urine test, and explains the disease states which may be indicated by the various test results. If the sticks are not these colours to start, then they may have gone off and you shouldn't use them.

Enables user compliance with IVDD regulations by reporting results only from urinalysis strips that have been validated for use on the CLINITEK Status analyzers. There were 1,887 urine specimens tested comparing the leukocyte and nitrite results of Multistix 10 SG urinalysis strips to urine culture.The results obtained from these multistix can help provide information about diabetes, liver function and kidney function amongst others.

It is important to continue to use the proper dipping and test strip handling techniques to optimize results. 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. We have over 50 years of experience in serving urine testing needs and continues a tradition of providing high quality products and services. The expected results for these strips can be found in the QC product insert supplied by the manufacturers.

Cost effectiveness of urinary dipsticks to screen asymptomatic catheter-associated urinary infections in an intensive care unit. The above analyzers will activate an automatic quality check that ensures only results from validated Siemens urinalysis strips will be reported. Provides printed sample interference notes when common sample interferences are detected, providing healthcare professionals additional clinical information to aid in patient management. The number of false negative samples was significantly reduced when combining the leukocyte and nitrite urinalysis results.

The test strips can be used on Siemens’ CLINITEK Status ® and CLINITEK Advantus ® analyzers without impacting performance. Also, for example megadosing with ascorbic acid (the acid form of vitamin C) may stop the glucose square reacting to sugar. Multistix Reagent strips can be used to test urine for glucose, ketones, specific gravity, blood, pH, protein, nitrites and leucocytes. Dropper style controls should only be used if the control is transferred to an appropriate test tube before use.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). In 93% of cases, a negative Multistix 10 SG strip result for leukocyte and nitrite was confirmed negative by urine culture. Consistent quality in manufacturing and packaging of Multistix urinalysis strips ensures high quality, reproducible results - each strip, every test.

For example nitrites may test negative even in the presence of infection because the urine has not been in the bladder long enough for the bacteria to convert urea to nitrite. All test strips can be read visually, except for MULTISTIX PRO 10 LS, CLINITEK Microalbumin 2 and CLINITEK Microalbumin 9.There were 1,887 urine specimens tested comparing the leukocyte and nitrite results of Multistix urinalysis strips to urine culture. Do not touch the coloured squares, not because they are poisonous, but because moisture on your fingers may spoil the test.
