Introduction

The Savvycheck™ Early Pregnancy Test is a rapid test for the qualitative detection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine. For self-testing; in vitro diagnostic use only.

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a glycoprotein hormone produced by the developing placenta shortly after fertilization. In normal pregnancy, hCG can be detected in both urine and serum as early as 7 to 10 days after conception. hCG levels continue to rise very rapidly, frequently exceeding 100 mIU/mL by the first missed menstrual period and peaking in the 100,000-200,000 mIU/mL range about 10-12 weeks into pregnancy. The appearance of hCG in both the urine and serum soon after conception, and its subsequent rapid rise in concentration during early gestational growth, make it an excellent marker for the early detection of pregnancy.

The Savvycheck™ Early Pregnancy Test is a rapid test that qualitatively detects the presence of HCG in urine specimen at the sensitivity of 10mIU/ml. The test utilizes a combination of monoclonal antibodies to selectively detect elevated levels of HCG in urine. At the level of claimed sensitivity, the HCG Pregnancy Rapid Test (Urine) shows no cross-reactivity interference from the structurally related glycoprotein hormones hFSH, hLH and hTSH at high physiological levels.
