Female Chlamydia Test

Intended use The SELFCHECK Female Chlamydia Test is a CE certified, in-vitro diagnostic medical device for self-testing. Vaginal swab test Safe and easy to use Results at home in minutes CE certified for self-test use Results in 20 minutes at home Contains 1 test. This test is a specific, manual, qualitative, immunochromatographic (lateral flow), screening test for the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis from a vaginal swab. General information This is a preliminary screening test for women and is not intended for definitive diagnosis of a Chlamydia infection. The test requires cell samples from the neck of the uterus collected with a sterile vaginal swab. Chlamydia is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the UK. It's passed on through unprotected sex (sex without a condom) and is particularly common in sexually active teenagers and young adults. Symptoms may include pain when peeing, an unusual discharge from the vagina or bottom, pain in the tummy, bleeding after sex and bleeding between periods. Time to result The test gives a result in 20 minutes at home. Warnings A screening test for a single biomarker, such as the immunological detection of Chlamydia trachomatis, is not a diagnosis. Whether you have a positive or negative result, if you are concerned that you are at risk from sexually transmitted diseases, always speak with your doctor. Not following the instructions exactly as written in the instructions for use may cause a false positive or false negative result. It is important that the test is performed at least one hour after urination. Only the components supplied with the test kit should be used. Do not use the test: during pregnancy during, or within 3 days of the end of your period within 14 days of completing a course of antibiotics Although this test is a reliable way to check for the presence of Chlamydia trachomatis antigens, all medical tests whether used in the laboratory or at home may give false positive or false negative results. The test should not be used during pregnancy or menstruation, for three days after the end of menstruation, or if there is a urinary tract infection. Accuracy This test has a cut-off equivalent to 250 elementary bodies/µL for a positive result, a sensitivity of 85.7% and specificity of 98.3% (sample size of 596 participants) with laboratory PCR tests. Although this test is reliable for the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis antigens, all medical tests can give false positive or false negative results. IMPORTANT: These figures refer to the agreement of the SELFCHECK test with laboratory PCR tests, and not to the accuracy of tests for the diagnosis of Chlamydia infections. Further information If you're a woman, sexually active and under 25, it is recommended that you have a chlamydia test once a year, and when you have sex with new or casual partners.
