Hi Theresa,
We have recently had some issues with the Invitech pregnancy test cassettes. In particular, one batch was found to be showing positives only very weakly? And one case of a double positive line? This was reported to Invitech, and this batch was recalled. In addition, there have been a couple of recent cases of incorrect test results, however, on investigation these were probably the result of the hook effect?
We are currently reviewing the use of manual read pregnancy tests and are looking to move to automated readers soon.
WR,

Can I ask users of Invitech pregnancy tests if they are seeing any problems with them?
Our users are reporting curved lines, slipped lines or getting incorrect results.
