Intended Use
HCG Pregnancy Test is a self-testing immunoassay made 
for the rapid, visual and qualitative determination of human 
chorionic gonadotropin(HCG) in urine specimen to aid in 
the early detection of pregnancy.

Summary
Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is a glycoprotein 
hormone secreted by the developing placenta shortly after 
fertilization. In normal pregnancy, HCG can be detected in 
serum as early as 7 days following conception. The 
concentration of HCG continues to rise rapidly, frequently 
exceeding 100 mIU/mL by the first missed menstrual 
period and peaking in the 100,000-200,000 mIU/mL range 
by 10-12 weeks into pregnancy. The appearance of HCG 
soon after conception and its subsequent rise in 
concentration during early gestational growth make it an 
excellent marker for the early detection of pregnancy.
