FSH Menopause Rapid Tests

【INTENDED USE】

The FSH Rapid Test Cassette (Urine) is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of follicle stimulating hormone(FSH) in urine to aid in the detection of menopause.

【SUMMARY】

Menopause is the permanent cessation of menstruation but is usually not scientifically diagnosed until one full year after a woman’s menstrual periods have stopped. The 

period leading up to menopause, and the 12 months following, is known as perimenopause. Many women experience symptoms during this time including hot 

flashes, irregular menstrual cycles, sleep disorders, vaginal dryness, hair loss, anxiety and mood swings, short-term memory loss and fatigue. The onset of perimenopause 

is caused by changes in the levels of hormones in the female body that regulate the menstrual cycle. As the body produces less and less estrogen, it increases its 

production of FSH, which normally regulates the development of a female’s eggs.1-3Therefore, testing for FSH can help determine whether a woman is in the 

perimenopause stage. If a woman knows she is perimenopausal, she can take the appropriate steps to keep her body healthy and avoid the health risks associated with 

menopause, which include osteoporosis, increased blood pressure and cholesterol, and increased risk of heart disease.4,5

The FSH Rapid Test Cassette is a rapid test that qualitatively detects the FSH level in urine specimen at the sensitivity of 25 mIU/mL. The test utilizes a combination of 

antibodies including a monoclonal anti-FSH antibody to selectively detect elevated. levels of FSH.
