Instrument-read results provide consistency and reliability, sample to sample: In a study of 10,084 samples, the % error (+/- 1 color block difference) among positive samples was reduced from 12.4% when read visually to 2.9% when read on the CLINITEK® 50 analyzer. Studies have shown that when urinalysis is performed with an instrument, sensitivity is increased and positives are correctly identified and reported.5 Over 10 million Americans have difficulty discerning color.4 The cost of urine culture is significantly higher compared to urine strip testing.2Ĭombining 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.3īe confident that Multistix 10 SG is a reliable rule-out tool for urinary tract infection (UTI)! Only 10-15% of urine cultures are confirmed positive. After 1-2 minutes, the squares on the strip, will begin to change color to display the levels of various components of the urine. To test, the strip must be immersed in, then removed from, a urine sample. There were 1,887 urine specimens tested comparing the leukocyte and nitrite results of Multistix 10 SG urinalysis strips to urine culture.1 Reagent Strips for Urinalysis are used to determine pathological changes in a patients urine during a standard urinalysis. The Reliable Choice for Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) Detection at the FrontlineĪ multicenter study was conducted to identify patients with potential UTIs.
