Azo Urinary Tract Infection Test Strips

Azo TestStrips® home UTI test can detect if you have a urinary tract infection. This information will allow you to take an active role with your physician in the management of your health.

Use at the first sign of a UTI: Urinary pain, burning, urgency, or frequency.

Easy to Use: Simply wet the test pads by holding in your urine stream for 1-2 seconds. Read both test results in just 2 minutes.

Easy to Read: Match the color of the test pads to the color blocks on the bottle label. First combination test available for home use: tests for both Leukocytes (white blood cells) and Nitrites for greater reliability. Physicians know the combination test is better than a nitrite-only test.

• Gather the materials you need:
- Bottle of AZO Test Strips®
- Folded tissue
- Timer or watch with a second hand
- Pen or pencil (optional)
- Clean, dry cup (optional)

• Read all directions
• Wash your genital area thoroughly with soap and water. Rinse with clear water.
• Remove one test strip from the bottle. Recap the bottle tightly.
• Check the color of both dry test pads. Compare them with the negative color blocks on the bottle label. If either pad is darker than the negative color block, discard the strip.

Using the Test:

• Step 1
Apply urine to pads: Begin urinating. After some urine has passed, hold the test pads in the urine stream for 1-2 seconds. Make sure both test pads are wetted. (If you prefer, you may collect your urine in a clean, dry cup. Then dip the test strip in the urine.) Lay the strip, pads up, on a folded tissue.

• Step 2
Wait for 2 minutes.

• Step 3
Read test results: At 2 minutes, compare the strip to the color chart on the bottle label. Match the color of each test pad to the color chart for that test. Any amount of uniform pink color on the nitrite test pad is positive (abnormal). Pink spots or pink edges are not a positive result. A positive WBC test will give a dark tan to purple color. (Ignore any color change after you have read the test pads at 2 minutes).
