Accutest URS-4 Urine Reagent Strips Overview
Accutest® URS-4 Urine Reagent Strips are in vitro diagnostic test devices for qualitative and semi-quantitative urinalysis. Four reagent areas on each strip test human urine for pH, glucose, protein and ketone.
The strips are intended for single use in professional near-patient facilities and centralized laboratory settings. Results are interpreted visually by comparing the reagent areas with the corresponding color blocks on the bottle label. The product provides preliminary screening information that should be considered with other diagnostic information and appropriate clinical evaluation.

| Semi-quantitative read time | Read each reagent area at the time specified on the bottle color chart |
| Regulatory status | FDA 510(k) cleared; CLIA waived when read visually |
| Intended user | Professional in vitro diagnostic use only; not an over-the-counter self-test |
| Storage | 36-86°F (2-30°C) in the original bottle; keep dry and protect from heat and light; do not refrigerate |
| Opened-bottle stability | Up to 3 months after opening when stored below 65% relative humidity, without exceeding the labeled expiration date |

Four Urinalysis Parameters
| Parameter | Reportable Range from the Package Insert |
|---|---|
| pH | 5.0 to 8.5 |
| Glucose | Negative to 2,000 mg/dL |
| Protein | Negative to 2,000 mg/dL |
| Ketone | Negative to 160 mg/dL |
Reportable ranges describe the color-chart values available for this test system; they are not diagnostic thresholds. Interpret every result according to the current bottle label and package insert and in the context of other clinical information.
How to Perform the Test
Collect fresh urine: Use a clean, dry container, mix the specimen and test it within 2 hours of collection.
Remove one strip: Take out only the strip needed for immediate testing and replace the bottle cap tightly.
Immerse and remove: Completely immerse all four reagent areas in the urine, then remove the strip immediately.
Remove excess urine: Run the strip edge against the specimen-container rim, then hold the strip horizontally or place it on a flat surface.
Compare the colors: Match each reagent area with the corresponding color block on the bottle label at the specified time.
This procedure summary does not replace the package insert or bottle color chart. The insert permits pH and protein to be read immediately or up to 60 seconds after dipping, directs qualitative results to be read between 1 and 2 minutes and states that color changes after 2 minutes have no diagnostic value.
Important Result and Testing Information
- This product provides preliminary qualitative and semi-quantitative urinalysis results; abnormal findings require appropriate clinical evaluation and confirmation when indicated.
- The protein reagent area is more sensitive to albumin than to globulins, hemoglobin, Bence-Jones protein and mucoprotein.
- The ketone reagent reacts with acetoacetic acid and does not react with acetone or beta-hydroxybutyric acid.
- Test performance and visual interpretation can be affected by specimen composition, specific gravity, pH, lighting, color perception and interfering substances.
- Use fresh urine. Water must not be used as a negative control, and preservatives do not prevent deterioration of ketone results.
- Do not touch the reagent areas and do not use strips with discolored test pads.
Storage and Handling
Store in the original bottle at 36-86°F (2-30°C)
Keep the strips dry and protect them from ambient moisture, light and heat
Do not refrigerate
Replace the bottle cap tightly immediately after removing a strip
After opening, the remaining strips are stable for up to 3 months when humidity is below 65% RH
Never use a strip after the expiration date printed on the product

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Accutest URS-4 strip measure?
Each strip tests human urine for four parameters: pH, glucose, protein and ketone.
Is the Accutest URS-4 test CLIA waived?
Yes, when read visually. The exact manufacturer page and product brochure identify the URS-4 strips as CLIA waived when read visually.
Is this an over-the-counter home test?
No. The package insert identifies the strips for professional use only, and the FDA 510(k) record identifies prescription use rather than over-the-counter use.
How quickly are results available?
For a qualitative result, the package insert directs users to read the reagent areas between 1 and 2 minutes. For semi-quantitative results, read each reagent area at the time specified on the bottle color chart. Do not interpret color changes that occur after 2 minutes.
Does the test require an analyzer?
No analyzer is required for visual interpretation. Compare the reagent areas directly with the corresponding color blocks on the bottle label and follow the package insert.
Does URS-4 test for leukocytes or nitrite?
No. UA774 is limited to pH, glucose, protein and ketone. Choose a different verified configuration when leukocyte, nitrite or other urinalysis parameters are required.
How long are the strips stable after opening?
The package insert states that the remaining strips are stable for up to 3 months after the bottle is opened when stored at less than 65% relative humidity. Keep the cap tightly closed and never use strips after the labeled expiration date.
What is included?
This configuration contains 100 single-use Accutest URS-4 reagent strips in one bottle. A urine specimen container and quality-control materials are not listed as included.
