Abstract:
Nine pregnancy test kits intended for home use were evaluated for optimal accuracy, sensitivity, ease of operation, and definitude of results. Tests of the kits on samples of urine from healthy male volunteers previously spiked with known concentrations of human chorionic gonadotropin showed wide variations among the kits in all characteristics examined. Specific values are given for the kits tested.
