Clearview® hCG Combo II is a one-step test for
the early detection of the pregnancy hormone, human chorionic
gonadotropin (hCG).
Clearly different
Clearview® hCG Combo II uses a patented, innovative
technology to provide highly sensitive and specific results for
pregnancy.
- Fast: single-step test provides
positive results in as little as 1 minute
- Easy: CLIA-waived (for urine),
easy-to-use test
- Reliable: highly sensitive assay with
built-in controls ensures accuracy
- Flexible: test can be used with
either urine or serum samples
Clearly better
Early diagnosis with Clearview hCG enables proper planning,
which reduces potential risks to the mother and fetus.
- Earlier detection of pregnancy allows for improved patient
care
- Rapid results help prevent infection or contraindicated
treatment
Clearview® hCG Combo II Test Procedure
Add 3 drops of urine or serum to the Sample Well.
Read result in 3 minutes for urine, or 5 minutes for
serum. For full instructions, see package insert.
About Prenancy
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a glycoprotein hormone
produced by the developing placenta shortly after fertilization. In
normal pregnancy, hCG can be detected in both urine and serum as
early as 7 to 10 days after conception.1-4 hCG levels
continue to rise very rapidly, frequently exceeding 100 mIU/mL by
the first missed menstrual period, and peaking in the
100,000-200,000 mIU/mL range about 10-12 weeks into
pregnancy.2-4 The appearance of hCG in both the urine
and serum soon after conception, and its subsequent rapid rise in
concentration during early gestational growth, make it an excellent
marker for the early detection of pregnancy.
