Feeling like you need to pee every other minute or have a stingy sensation while doing so? 'Pee-ace of Mind' stops the guessing. We are keeping it shorter and simpler than most urine tests, 'Pee-ace of Mind' focuses on the most common UTI culprit: E.Coli bacteria. Nitrate and leucocytes levels, are enough to help you gain clarity.

Our tests is easy peasy lemon squeezy: Pee on it, compare Nitrate and Leucocyte levels to our color card, read the result - all from the comfort of your home.

You will get all the necessary information for interpretation and what to do with result, delivered together with your test.

More Information on Urinary Tract Infection (E.Coli)

UTIs are infections in any part of the urinary system, commonly caused by bacteria such as E. coli. They present with symptoms like a strong urge to urinate, a burning sensation during urination, and cloudy or strong-smelling urine. UTIs are common and typically treated with antibiotics.

What are the most common symptoms?

A strong, persistent urge to urinate
A burning sensation when urinating
Passing frequent, small amounts of urine
Urine that appears cloudy
Urine that appears red, bright pink, or cola-colored — a sign of blood in the urine
Strong-smelling urine
Pelvic pain, especially in the center of the pelvis and around the area of the pubic bone

What's in the package?

For ten treatments:

10 test strips
1 pee cup
1 user manual

How do I take the test?

Prepare for the Test: Before starting, clean your hands and gather your test kit. Although it's not necessary, a freshly cleaned intimate area is preferable for optimal sample collection. Your kit includes a pee cup for urine collection.
Collect a Urine Sample: Use the provided pee cup to collect your urine. For best results, collect midstream urine — start urinating into the toilet, then catch the urine in the cup.
Dip the Test Strip: Immerse the test strip in the urine sample for the time specified in your kit instructions, usually just a few seconds.
Wait for the Reaction: After dipping, lay the strip flat on a clean, dry surface. Allow it to develop for 2 minutes for the chemical reaction to occur fully.
Read the Results: Compare the color changes on the test strip to the color chart included in your kit. This will help you assess the levels of nitrates and leukocytes in your urine.

How does the test technology work?

Colorimetric method

Detection of Nitrates: Many bacteria that cause UTIs can convert nitrate (naturally present in urine) into nitrite. UTI test strips have a reagent area that reacts with nitrite to produce a color change. The presence of nitrite is a strong indicator of a bacterial infection.
Leukocytes Detection: Leukocytes, or white blood cells, are part of the body's immune response to infection. The test strips contain esterase-sensitive indicators that react with an enzyme present in white blood cells. When leukocytes are present in urine, this reaction causes a color change on the test strip.
Combined Analysis: By analyzing both nitrate conversion and leukocyte presence, the test can more accurately indicate the presence of a urinary tract infection. The color changes on the test strip are compared against a color chart to interpret the presence and possibly the extent of the infection.

Specificy: 72.0%
Specificity refers to a test's ability to correctly identify those who do not have a certain condition. In simpler terms, if a test is highly specific, it's great at ruling out people who are healthy and don't have the condition the test is checking for. This means a highly specific test has a low rate of false positives — it's unlikely to tell you that you have a condition when you actually don't.

Sensitivity / Accuracy: 60.0%
Accuracy, in the context of medical tests, is how well the test correctly identifies or excludes a condition. It's a broader term that encompasses both the test's ability to correctly detect people who have the condition (true positives) and correctly identify people who don't have it (true negatives). A highly accurate test provides results that very closely match the actual condition of the individuals being tested.

1. Let if flow.

Pregnancy tests are the best evidence: a bit of urine can tell you a lot about what's going on in your body. That's why all livity tests are urine-based, except for our pHabolous vaginal pH test. A few drops are enough for our tests.

2. Short meditation

Do a bit of TLC (time, love and care) for yourself while you are waiting 15 minutes for the development of test result.

3. Read it.
