Introducing NUVETEST®
Fast, accurate and convenient.
A one-step detection test for vaginitis associated
with bacterial vaginosis (BV)
and trichomonas.
About NUVETEST®
NUVETEST® effectively measures vaginal acidity associated with BV due to its buffer capacity
The inclusion of buffer capacity allows NUVETEST® to capture those patients misdiagnosed with pH paper alone.
Unlike regular pH tests which miss about 22% of BV cases with normal pH levels, NUVETEST® improves detection accuracy to approximately 90% for added assurance.1

Warnings and Precautions
- Collect vaginal discharge from the anterior fornix or lateral vaginal wall of the mid vagina. Do not insert the NUVETEST® further than 5 cm (2") in the vagina, to avoid contact with the cervix mucus, where pH levels are known to be higher than normal vaginal pH.
- Do not use lubricants which alter vaginal acidity.
- If the patient is pregnant, the stain may indicate an amniotic fluid leakage.
To ensure valid results, do not use NUVETEST® in any of the following conditions:
- Less than 1 day before or the day after the patient’s menstrual period;
- There are signs of menstruation or any vaginal bleeding;
- Less than 12 hours after sexual intercourse or use of vaginal products such as douching solutions or medications which alter vaginal acidity.
