The 11 Parameter Urine Analysis Reagent Strips are a rapid and reliable diagnostic tool for monitoring health through urinalysis. These strips are designed to detect up to 11 different urinary parameters in one simple operation, thus offering a detailed overview of your overall health status. Using the strips is simple and immediate: just immerse the strip in the urine sample for a few seconds and compare the color results with the colorimetric scale provided. This product is aimed at those who need frequent checks, such as subjects with chronic pathologies, athletes, pregnant women or anyone who wishes to periodically monitor kidney function and general metabolic status. The strips allow immediate and non-invasive analysis, ideal for home or outpatient use, guaranteeing clear and comprehensible information useful for identifying anomalies or early signs of multiple pathological conditions.
Therapeutic Indications
The 11 Parameter Urine Analysis Reagent Strips are indicated for the rapid evaluation of numerous indicators of general health and renal, hepatic and metabolic function. Thanks to multivariable technology, they allow you to identify the presence of alterations in the values of glucose, proteins, occult blood, leukocytes, nitrites, urobilinogen, bilirubin, ketones, pH, density and ascorbate. They are particularly recommended to monitor conditions such as urinary tract infections, diabetes mellitus, kidney disease, liver disease, dehydration and metabolic disorders. The regular use of the strips facilitates the early diagnosis of complications, allowing timely and targeted intervention, especially in predisposed subjects or those undergoing prolonged pharmacological treatment. They are also essential in the sporting field, to prevent water or metabolic imbalances linked to particularly restrictive diets or intense training. The use of the strips can be suggested by the doctor or chosen as a daily support for self-monitoring of health.
Composition
The 11 Parameter Urine Analysis Reagent Strips are made up of an inert, resistant and easily handleable plastic support, on whose surface the specific chemical reaction areas are applied. Each area is impregnated with selected reagents that react specifically to the main urinary parameters: glucose, proteins, blood, leukocytes, nitrites, urobilinogen, bilirubin, ketones, pH values, relative density and ascorbate (vitamin C). The strip contains buffering agents to stabilize reactions and color indicators that ensure accurate and easily interpretable readings visually. The excipients used are designed to minimize interference and improve the stability of the product, guaranteeing the integrity of the results until expiry if the product is stored correctly in the original packaging.
Contraindications
There are no known particular contraindications in the use of the 11 Parameter Urine Analysis Reagent Strips, however the test must not be used as the sole diagnostic criterion for complex pathologies. The use of reagent strips is not recommended in case of evident presence of contaminating substances in the tube or container used for collecting the urinary sample. People with visual difficulties may have difficulty correctly interpreting color variations, in such cases the supervision of a family member or healthcare professional is recommended. Any use of the strips in pediatric subjects or in patients with particularly complex clinical conditions should always be evaluated under medical supervision.
Safety of the drug for the species
The use of the strips is safe for all categories of human users, including children, adults and the elderly. There are no systemic active ingredients or substances absorbable by the body; the method is exclusively observational and reactive at a superficial level. All reagents are fixed on the strip and are not released during use. If accidentally ingested, it is advisable to contact a poison control center, although the onset of serious effects is unlikely thanks to the safety profile linked to the minimal presence of chemical reagents. In case of prolonged direct contact with very sensitive skin or damaged mucous membranes, it is recommended to rinse thoroughly with water, even if the probability of irritation is extremely low.
Precautions
It is essential that the 11 Parameter Urine Analysis Reagent Strips are used in conditions of adequate hygiene to avoid contamination that could alter the reading of the results. The strips must be removed individually from the package by immediately closing the container, to limit exposure to humidity and contact with air or dust. Always handle with clean, dry hands. Avoid touching the reactive areas with your fingers. Do not use the strips beyond the expiration date indicated on the package. Store the product in a dry place and away from heat sources or direct light. Do not freeze. In case of doubt about the integrity of the packaging or the storage conditions, it is preferable not to use the product. Wash your hands after use.
Method of administration
To perform the test, immerse the Test Strip in the freshly collected urine, making sure that all the test areas are evenly wet. Withdraw the strip after 1-2 seconds and remove excess urine by shaking the strip slightly or by gently dabbing the inert side on absorbent paper. Wait for the expected time (generally 60-120 seconds for most parameters) and compare the developed colors with the scale provided on the package. It is important not to interpret the results after times significantly longer or shorter than the instructions, to avoid evaluation errors. Use a new strip for each new urine sample.
Treatment program
The 11 Parameter Urine Analysis Reagent Strips can be used according to the frequency suggested by the doctor or independently for regular monitoring of the state of health. In the case of chronic conditions, the analysis can be carried out once a day or at weekly intervals, while for routine checks or preventive screening a monthly test may be sufficient. In cases of post-treatment monitoring for urinary infections, diabetes or other metabolic disorders, the testing program should be customized based on clinical needs and the professional's suggestions. It is important to write down the results and promptly report any abnormalities to your doctor.
Target species
Human being. The strips are intended exclusively for use on human urine samples for diagnostic and health monitoring purposes at home or in an outpatient/specialist setting. Do not use on animals.
