Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) pH Rapid Test Devices
-Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is diagnosed in approx. 15-20% of all pregnant women.
-With the help of regular self-testing of the vaginal pH level, pregnant women can decrease the risk of infection.
-Accuracy of over 98%
-Read the result immediately after removing the vaginal applicators
The PH Rapid BV Test Device is a reliable, hygienic, pain-free method of determining the vaginal pH level. As soon as the pH measurement zone on the device comes into contact with vaginal secretion, a colour change occurs that can be assigned to a value on the colour scale. This value is the test result.
Bacterial vagnosis increases the risk of:
Premature birth
Chorioamnionitis (amnionitis)
A premature rupturing of the fetal membrane
Fever when giving birth
Post-partum endometritis (an infection of the mucus membrane in the uterus after giving birth)
A bacterial infection of the foetus
With the help of regular BV tests, pregnant women can decrease the risk of infection. The measurement of the vaginal pH level is a fixed component of the program for avoiding premature birth.
