Precautions for Use
Make sure that the size of the pouch is adapted to the weight of the child
Within the context of biochemical, cytological and bacteriological examinations, the pouch should not be applied for more than 30 minutes avoiding by this way any risk of urine contamination (false positive). Even if the pouch is empty, you should replace it.
Send the urine to the analysis laboratory within 2 hours of collection. If this is impossible the specimen may be kept in a fridge for a maximum of 12 hours. Indicate the collection time on pouch.
