The tests detect human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine. hCG is the hormone your body produces during pregnancy.

The FIRST RESPONSE™ Early Result Pregnancy Test is designed to detect hCG as early as 6 days before your missed period (5 days before the day of the expected period). The amount of pregnancy hormone increases as pregnancy progresses. In laboratory testing with early pregnancy urine samples, FIRST RESPONSE™ gave the following results:

NUMBER OF DAYS BEFORE THE EXPECTED PERIOD	1	2	3	4	5
% OF SAMPLES FROM PREGNANT WOMEN GIVING A POSITIVE RESULT	>99%	>99%	>99%	96%	76%

FIRST RESPONSE™ is >99% accurate from the day of the expected period in laboratory studies. However, some pregnant women may not have detectable amounts of pregnancy hormone in their urine on the day of the test or may have miscalculated the first day of their period.

A positive (pregnant) test result shows that the pregnancy hormone (hCG) was detected, which normally indicates pregnancy. You must see your doctor to confirm that you are pregnant. If you test positive, but think you may not be pregnant, you should check with your doctor.

You may not be pregnant, or it may be too early to tell.  If you do not get your period within 7 days, you should retest with another FIRST RESPONSE™ Early Result Pregnancy Test.  It is possible that you miscalculated the length of your cycle, or your urine may not have had enough pregnancy hormone for the test to give you a positive result. If upon retesting you get another negative result and your period has still not started, you should call your doctor.

Your result should appear within 3 minutes. There should be at least one pink line in the Result Window at 3 minutes to indicate that the test is completed and you have done it correctly. If not, the test is invalid. This could be due to insufficient urine on the Absorbent Tip or not holding the device with the Absorbent Tip pointing downward while replacing the Overcap. You should retest with another device, carefully following all directions.

The test result should be read as soon as possible after waiting the 3 minutes. A negative result should not be read after 10 minutes.

Only medications containing the pregnancy hormone (hCG) can affect the result (for example, A.P.L.⁴, Pregnyl⁵, Profasi⁶ and Pergonal⁶). The test should not be affected by hormone therapies containing: Clomiphene citrate (for example Clomid⁷ and Serophene⁶); alcohol; antibiotics; or the contraceptive pill.

The FIRST RESPONSE Gold™ Digital Pregnancy Test is designed to detect hCG as early as 6 days before your missed period (5 days before the day of the expected period).

A "?" symbol indicates an error has occurred during testing. You should retest with another FIRST RESPONSE Gold™ Digital Pregnancy Test, carefully following all directions.

If the display screen goes blank at any time before yielding a result, an error has occurred. You should retest with another FIRST RESPONSE Gold™ Digital Pregnancy Test, carefully following all directions.

Your result will be displayed for at least 30 minutes. Read your results within this timeframe. Once you have read your result, discard the stick.

Note: This device contains a battery with a removal feature on the reverse side of the Thumb Grip. Be sure to dispose of the battery according to local regulations.

Some splashing while using the test will not damage the test, but if it becomes very wet it can become damaged. If the test becomes damaged, the Display Screen will either go blank or an error "?" message will appear.
