The Indicard™ test is an enzyme activity test for use in the detection of Gardnerella vaginalis Proline IminoPeptidase (PIP) activity in vaginal fluid specimens from patients suspected of having vaginosis. The Indicard™ test is indicated for professional use only and may be used at point of care. It is not intended for home use.

The Indicard™ test is an enzyme activity test.

The FemExam® TestCard™ contains two qualitative, colorimetric tests for use in the characterization of a vaginal fluid sample: (1) a pH test that differentiates vaginal fluid pH less than pH 4.7 from vaginal fluid pH equal to or greater than pH 4.7; and (2) a test that detects alkali volatilizable amines in vaginal fluid.

The FemExam® TestCard™ contains two qualitative, colorimetric tests: a pH test and an amine test. The pH test uses nitrazine yellow to produce a visual color change within two minutes of specimen application, indicating pH less than or greater than 4.7. It includes a positive procedural control and a negative background control. The amine test uses bromocresol green (BCG) and sodium aluminate to produce a visual color change within two minutes of specimen application, indicating the presence of alkali volatilizable amines. It also includes a positive procedural control and a negative background control.
