[Comparative evaluation of a new pregnancy test]
Abstract
PIP: A comparison was made between the results offered by a new pregnancy test (Event Test Slide) and 3 other immunologic methods. 2 tube and 2 slide methods were employed on 500 urine samples. In spite of a slight preference for the tube test, it is felt that the slide method, especially the new Event Test Slide, is equally valid. The agreement between results was never less than 99%. An attempt was also made to detect a series of possible interfering substances. Agreement is expressed with the view that 2 different methods should be used in the execution of a pregnancy test.
