The 2SAN Bacterial Vaginosis Vaginal Swab Test offers a convenient and discreet solution for women seeking to monitor their vaginal health from the comfort of home. This self-test kit is specifically designed to measure vaginal pH levels, providing valuable insights into the presence of bacterial vaginosis.
How It Works
- Sample Collection: The test involves a simple procedure where a vaginal swab is gently inserted approximately 5 cm inside the vagina for about 10 seconds.
- Testing Process: The collected sample is then applied to the test panel's pH area, where a color change occurs.
- Result Interpretation: By comparing the color change to a standard scale, users can easily determine if their vaginal pH is within the normal range.
Key Features
- Ease of Use: The test employs a dry chemical method with a bromocresol green indicator, making it straightforward and user-friendly.
- Immediate Results: Results are available instantly, with normal pH indicated by green or light bluish-green and abnormal pH by yellow or yellow-green.
- Privacy and Comfort: Designed for at-home use, it ensures privacy and comfort, with kits available containing either one or two tests.
Storage Instructions
- Temperature Range: Store the test kit at temperatures between 2–30°C.
- Stability: The kit remains stable through its expiration date, even after opening.
When to Use
Women experiencing symptoms such as unusual vaginal discharge, odor, itching, or burning during urination may find this test particularly useful. However, it's important to note that bacterial vaginosis can often present without noticeable symptoms.
Important Considerations
- Further Evaluation: While the test provides valuable information, it is not a substitute for professional medical diagnosis. If symptoms persist or if the test indicates an abnormal pH, consulting a healthcare provider is recommended.
- Infection Indicators: The test may also suggest the presence of other infections, such as fungal or trichomonas, necessitating further medical evaluation.
Warnings
- Intended Use: This product is for in vitro diagnostic use only.
- Medical Consultation: Always follow the directions for use and seek medical advice if needed.
