The NUVETEST is a qualitative, visually-read swab for clinicians who wish to evaluate women with vaginal symptoms
The device is a vaginal pH indicator swab intended to be used in conjunction with other clinical examinations, such as the Amsel criteria or the Nugent Gram stain, to aid in determining conditions characterized by elevated vaginal pH, such as bacterial vaginitis
The NUVETEST is comprised of a vaginal swab, coated with an innovative proprietary polymer, which contains the colorimetric pH indicator, Nitrazine Yellow
When the polymer, which is yellow before use, come into contact with fluids with elevated pH level, the user observes a blue or green stain on the yellow background
