The DIASCREEN® Reagent Strip for Urinalysis is a dip-and-read test strip for semi-quantitative urinalysis. DIASCREEN® Reagent Strips have been developed to allow health care professionals to test semi-quantitatively for patient urine levels of specific gravity. ketone, glucose, protein, blood, leukocytes, nitrite, pH, bilirubin, and urobilinogen by visual comparison with a color chart. The DIASCREEN® Reagent Strip for Urinalysis is a dip-and-read test strip and is intended for use as an in vitro diagnostic aid using urine specimens. The strip contains solid phase reagent areas affixed to a plastic strip and is provided in a dry reagent format. The strip provides qualitative and semi-quantitative tests for specific gravity, ketones, glucose, protein, blood, leukocytes, nitrite, pH, bilirubin, and urobilinogen by visual comparison with a color chart for each concentration range. No additional reagents and laboratory equipment are required. The reagent strips are packaged in a plastic vial containing a desiccant. The test strips must be kept tightly capped in the vial to assure reagent reactivity. The directions must be followed exactly and it is necessary to use fresh, well-mixed, uncentrifuged urine for optimal results.

DIASCREEN® Reagent Strips are plastic strips to which are affixed reagent test areas. Several product configurations are included with this submission, but all configurations are limited to one, some or all of the following tests: specific gravity, ketone, glucose, protein, blood, leukocytes, nitrite, pH, bilirubin, and urobilinogen. The reagent test areas on the DIASCREEN® Reagent Strips are ready to use upon removal from the bottle and the entire reagent strip is disposable after use. The strips are to be read visually, requiring no additional laboratory equipment for testing.
