KEY POINTS
| Reagent | Read Time | Composition | Description |
| Ascorbic Acid(ASC) | 30seconds | 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol; buffer and non-reactive ingredients | Detects ascorbic acid as low as 5-10 mg/dL (0.28-0.56 mmol/L). |
| Glucose(GLU) | 30seconds | glucose oxidase; peroxidase; potassium iodide; buffer; non-reactive ingredients | Detects glucose as low as 50-100 mg/dL (2.5-5 mmol/L). |
| Bilirubin(BIL) | 30 seconds | 2, 4-dichloroaniline diazonium salt; buffer and non-reactive ingredients | Detects bilirubin as low as 0.4‑1.0 mg/dL (6.8-17 µmol/L). |
| Ketone(KET) | 40 seconds | sodium nitroprusside; buffer | Detects acetoacetic acid as low as 2.5-5 mg/dL (0.25-0.5 mmol/L). |
| Specific Gravity(SG) | 45 seconds | bromthymol blue indicator; buffer and non-reactive ingredients; poly (methyl vinyl ether/maleic anhydride); sodium hydroxide | Determines urine specific gravity between 1.000 and 1.030. Results correlate with values obtained by refractive index method within ± 0.005. |

| Nitrite(NIT) | 60 seconds | p-arsanilic acid; N-(1-naphthyl) ethylenediamine; non-reactive ingredients | Detects sodium nitrite as low as 0.05-0.1 mg/dL in urine with a low specific gravity and less than 30 mg/dL ascorbic acid. |
| Leukocytes(LEU) | 120 seconds | derivatized pyrrole amino acid ester; diazonium salt; buffer; non-reactive ingredients | Detects leukocytes as low as 9-15 white blood cells Leu/mL in clinical urine. |
INTRODUCTION
Urine undergoes many changes during states of disease or body dysfunction before blood composition is altered to a significant extent. Urinalysis is a useful procedure as an indicator of health or disease, and as such, is a part of routine health screening. The Urinalysis Reagent Strips (Urine) can be used in general evaluation of health, and aids in the diagnosis and monitoring of metabolic or systemic diseases that affect kidney function, endocrine disorders and diseases or disorders of the urinary tract.
INTENDED USE
Accu-Tell® Urinalysis Reagent Strips (Urine) are firm plastic strips onto which several separate reagent areas are affixed. The test is for the qualitative and semi-quantitative detection of one or more of the following analytes in urine: Ascorbic acid, Glucose, Bilirubin, Ketone (Acetoacetic acid), Specific Gravity, Blood, pH, Protein, Urobilinogen, Nitrite and Leukocytes.
TEST PROCEDURE
Allow the strip, urine specimen, and/or controls to reach room temperature (15-30ºC) prior to testing.
1. Remove the strip from the closed canister and use it as soon as possible. Immediately close the canister tightly after removing the required number of strip(s). Completely immerse the reagent areas of the strip in fresh, well-mixed urine and immediately remove the strip to avoid dissolving the reagents. See illustration 1 below.
2. While removing the strip from the urine, run the edge of the strip against the rim of the urine container to remove excess urine. Hold the strip in a horizontal position and bring the edge of the strip into contact with an absorbent material (e.g. a paper towel) to avoid mixing chemicals from adjacent reagent areas and/or soiling hands with urine. See illustration 2 above.
3. Compare the reagent areas to the corresponding color blocks on the canister label at the specified times. Hold the strip close to the color blocks and match carefully. See illustration 3 below.
Note: Results may be read up to 2 minutes after the specified times.
LIMITATIONS
Accu-Tell® Urinalysis Reagent Strips (Urine) may be affected by substances that cause abnormal urine color such as drugs containing azo dyes (e.g. Pyridium®, Azo Gantrisin®, Azo Gantanol®), nitrofurantoin (Microdantin®, Furadantin®), and riboflavin.8 The color development on the test pad may be masked or a color reaction may be produced that could be interpreted as false results.
