Directions

Before you start the 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.
• Note: Your results will be more reliable if you test your first urine in the morning or urine held in the bladder for at least 4 hours.

Simply follow these 3 easy steps...

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).

Dispose of the strip with your household waste. Do not flush down the toilet.
