The VS-SENSE™ TEST is a qualitative, visually-read swab for clinicians who wish to evaluate women with vaginal symptoms to rule out or rule in Bacterial Vaginosis and Trichomoniasis. The test indicates by color change whether a vaginal secretion has disordered acidity parameters. Results are based on combined indication of pH level and buffer capacity (watery secretion) which characterizes Bacterial Vaginosis and Trichomoniasis. The VS-SENSE™ Test indicates abnormal vaginal discharge acidity by identifying changes in the pH level. The test cutoff is set at pH 4.7 (+0.3/-0.2 pH units; there may be variations due to sensitivity to buffer capacity). When the vaginal secretion has a pH above this cutoff, the test tip will be stained (or partially stained) green or blue. The test, when combined with clinical examination, assists the physician in diagnosing conditions which are associated with elevated pH levels. VS-SENSE™ Advantages High sensitivity and specificity Helps diagnose a combined infection. When BV and Candida are mixed, and the pH in the vagina is above normal, the VS-SENSE™ test will give a positive result. Rapid (10 seconds) office test Clear to read and interpret. Eliminates the need to send a discharge specimen for a lab test VS-SENSE™ may improve accurate diagnosis medical outcomes by enabling appropriate treatment on the patient’s first visit
