PREGA NEWS ADVANCE DEVICE
Name: Prega News Advance (HCG Home Pregnancy Test Midstream Urine Test Kit)
Composition: This one-step diagnostic kit utilizes an agglutinating sera reagent to detect the presence of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) hormone in urine, which is produced during pregnancy.
Uses: Prega News Advance is designed for the rapid and convenient detection of pregnancy at home. It helps individuals confirm pregnancy by identifying hCG in urine, eliminating the need to visit a clinic for initial testing.
Dosage and Administration:
- Remove the test kit from its foil pouch and take off the cap.
- Place the absorbent tip directly under the urine stream for approximately 10 seconds until it is thoroughly wet.
- Remove the device from the urine stream and immediately cover the absorbent tip with its cap.
- Lay the device on a flat surface with the result window facing upwards.
- Read the results within 3 minutes.
- Pregnant: Two distinct pink lines appear (one at 'C' and one at 'T').
- Not Pregnant: Only one pink line appears at the 'C' (control) window.
- Invalid: No lines appear, or only a line appears at 'T' without a line at 'C'. A light pink line at 'T' with a dark pink line at 'C' suggests repeating the test with early morning urine due to potentially low hCG concentration.
Side Effects: No side effects have been reported with the use of Prega News Advance, as it is an external diagnostic tool and does not interfere with bodily functions.
Precautions:
- For external and diagnostic use only.
- Do not use the device if the packet is torn or expired.
- Always use a fresh urine sample for accurate results.
- Read the result within the recommended time window to avoid confusion.
- If an invalid result occurs, repeat the test with a new device.
- If testing too early, repeat the test within 7 days from the missed period for better accuracy, preferably with early morning urine which has a higher concentration of hCG.
- Consult a healthcare professional if you receive another negative result and your period has not started, or if you experience any irritation or discomfort (though unlikely).
- Home test results should ideally be confirmed by a healthcare professional.
Storage: Store the kit in a cool and dry place between 2°C to 30°C. Protect it from direct sunlight and humid areas. Do not open the pouch until ready to use the test. Keep out of reach of children.

Frequently Asked Questions
PREGA NEWS ADVANCE DEVICE is a midstream home pregnancy test kit designed to detect pregnancy quickly and conveniently. It is manufactured by Mankind Pharma Ltd. This device simplifies the pregnancy testing process by eliminating the need for urine collection in a container or using a dropper, allowing for direct application of urine to the absorbent tip.
What is PREGA NEWS ADVANCE DEVICE used for?
PREGA NEWS ADVANCE DEVICE is used for the early detection of pregnancy at home. It identifies the presence of the human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) hormone in urine, which is produced shortly after a fertilized egg implants in the uterus.
How does PREGA NEWS ADVANCE DEVICE work?
The test kit works by detecting the human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) hormone, also known as the pregnancy hormone, in a woman's urine. HCG levels increase in the body after implantation, typically 6 to 12 days after ovulation, and continue to double every 48-72 hours. The device contains agglutinating sera reagent that reacts to the hCG in the urine, leading to the appearance of pink lines in the result window if hCG is detected.
How should I use PREGA NEWS ADVANCE DEVICE?
To use the PREGA NEWS ADVANCE DEVICE, first remove the cap to expose the absorbent tip. Hold the device with the tip pointing downward and urinate directly on it for at least 10 seconds, ensuring the tip is thoroughly wet. After wetting, immediately replace the cap and place the device on a flat surface with the result window facing upwards. Wait for 3 minutes to read the results.
What is the best time to use PREGA NEWS ADVANCE DEVICE?
You can use the PREGA NEWS ADVANCE DEVICE at any time of the day. However, early morning urine is often preferred because it tends to have a higher concentration of the hCG hormone, potentially leading to clearer results. For the most accurate detection, it is recommended to take the test around the first day of a missed period, or even 4 to 6 days before a missed period due to its higher sensitivity compared to the classic version.
How accurate is PREGA NEWS ADVANCE DEVICE?
PREGA NEWS ADVANCE DEVICE is designed to provide 99% accurate results when used correctly. While highly reliable, it is always advisable to confirm positive results with a doctor or a blood test. False negatives can occur if the test is taken too early in the pregnancy when hCG levels are not yet high enough.
How do I interpret the results of PREGA NEWS ADVANCE DEVICE?
The results are interpreted as follows:
- Positive Pregnancy: Two distinct pink lines appear in the result window, one at 'C' (Control) and one at 'T' (Test). A light pink line on 'T' along with a dark line on 'C' also indicates pregnancy, but it is advisable to retest with early morning urine.
- Negative Pregnancy: Only one pink line appears in the control window at 'C', with no line at 'T'.
- Invalid Test: No lines appear, or only a line appears at 'T' without a line at 'C'. In such cases, the test should be repeated with a new device.
Are there any side effects or specific precautions I should take with PREGA NEWS ADVANCE DEVICE?
PREGA NEWS ADVANCE DEVICE is a diagnostic test kit and does not involve ingestion or application to the body in a way that would cause side effects. It is safe to use and does not interfere with any bodily activity. Precautions include:
- Using the test only for external and diagnostic purposes.
- Not using the device if the packet is torn or expired.
- Reading the result within the recommended time (typically 3 minutes) to avoid confusion, as results can become invalid after this window.
- Ensuring the absorbent tip is sufficiently wet with urine.
What should I do if the test result is invalid or unclear?
If no lines appear, or if only a line appears at 'T' without a line at 'C', the test is considered invalid. This can happen due to insufficient urine, incorrect use, or a faulty kit. If the result is invalid or unclear (e.g., a very faint 'T' line), it is recommended to repeat the test using a fresh device and following the instructions carefully. If you continue to get unclear results or still suspect pregnancy despite a negative result, consult a healthcare professional.
How should PREGA NEWS ADVANCE DEVICE be stored?
PREGA NEWS ADVANCE DEVICE should be stored in a cool and dry place, between 2°C to 30°C (36°F to 86°F). It should be protected from direct sunlight or humid areas and not frozen. Do not open the foil pouch until you are ready to use the test, and always check the expiration date before use.
