Siemens Multistix 10 SG Reagent Strips for Urinalysis include test pads for glucose, bilirubin, ketone, specific gravity, blood, pH, protein, urobilinogen, nitrite and leukocyte esterase in urine. Please refer to the carton or bottle label to see which tests are included on the product you are using.
Siemens Reagent Strips are for professional in vitro diagnostic use in near-patient (point of care) and centralized laboratory locations. The strips are intended for use in at-risk patient groups to assist diagnosis in the following areas:
- kidney function
- urinary tract infections
- carbohydrate metabolism (e.g., diabetes mellitus)
The strips also measure physical characteristics, including acid-base balance and urine concentration. Test results can be used along with other diagnostic information to rule out certain disease states and to determine if microscopic analysis is needed.
Siemens Reagent Strips are ready to use upon removal from the bottle and the reagent strip is disposable. The strips may be read visually, requiring no additional laboratory equipment for testing. The strips can also be read instrumentally, using the CLINITEK® family of Urine Chemistry Analyzers and the appropriate software; contact your product representative for further information. Siemens Reagent Strips with ID bands provide Auto-Checks when read on select CLINITEK instruments. Auto-Checks include automatic strip identification and quality checks. Siemens Reagent Strips have been determined to be nonhazardous under the guidelines issued by OSHA in 29 CFR 1910.1200(d).
