Keeping the test strip open for a long time before the test: The test strip should be taken out of the cover only before the test. You should open the package 5 minutes before doing the test in order to prevent false results. Improper handling of test device: Avoid touching the membranous strip of the device located near the markings given as C, T, and S, because the foreign particles on the hands may interact with the strip and form indent lines resulting in false results. Too early testing: You should perform the test on or after the first day of missed periods. F you perform the test early then you may get false negative results. Performing the test under a breeze of air: The air breeze may quickly dry the sample and may not give accurate test results. So, you should avoid doing the test near an air cooler, table fan, window or ceiling fan. Time of conducting pregnancy test: You should do the pregnancy test in the early morning hours because the first-morning sample contains a high concentration of hCG hormone. Improper sample collection: First-morning urine samples should be collected in a neat, clean, and dry container to prevent interaction with test results. A dropper should be used for sampling the urine and ensuring proper saturation of the sampling area for the most sensitive and accurate results. Avoid over-saturating the sampling area on the strip. Delay in observing the results: The reaction time of Clear & Sure is 5 minutes. Therefore, you should read the test results within 5 minutes of placing the urine sample in the vent. Observing the results after 5 minutes would give inaccurate or false positive results.
