How to Use

Specimen Collection and Preparation

 The Vaginal pH Rapid Test Panel (Vaginal Swab) can be performed using female vaginal

 swab specimen.

 1. Wash hands before starting the test.

 2. Open the package, remove the swab from pouch, do not touch the head of the swab

 (polyester head).

 3. Separate the labia so the vagina is exposed.

 4. Insert the head of swab gently into the vagina and gently press the swab to a point,

 when approximately 2 inches of swab (approximately length of an AA size battery is

 into the vagina for approx. 10 seconds). A time of approximately 10 seconds is

 important to ensure that the head of swab becomes well moistened with vaginal

 secretions. Sufficient moisture is very important for the test evaluation.

 5. Withdraw the swab from the vagina for testing.

 Directions For Use

 Allow the test and swab specimen to reach room temperature (15-30°C) prior to

 testing.

 1. Remove the test panel from the seal pouch and use it within one hour. Best result will

 be obtained if the test is performed immediately after opening the foil pouch.

 2. Place the test panel on a clean and balance desk or take it by your free hand.

 3. Apply the head of swab onto pH area of the test panel for at least 5 times, make sure

 enough secretion is applied on the pH area of the test panel.

 4. Read the result immediately while the measurement zone is still wet. Compare the

 color in the pH measurement zone with the color scale on the foil pouch and note the

 value on the color scale that is closest to the color on the test unit. After evaluation,

 dispose of the used panel and swab.
