10% Need a Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Test?

Signs and symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome often develop at puberty. But sometimes, it can develop later, for example, in response to significant weight gain. The symptoms can be:
- Irregular ovulation
- Imbalance of the hormonal balance
- Weight gain
- Hair loss

- FSH: it checks for damage or disease of your ovaries.
- Free androgen index: helps you understand if you have abnormal androgen levels.

Scientific Data from the PCOS Test Instrument and Reagent Supplier?
Technology Method:
Fluorescence quantitative immunoassay
Limit of Detection:
- FSH: 1 mIU/mL.
- SHGB: 10 nmol/L.
- Testosterone: 0.1 ng/mL.
- Luteinising hormone: 1 mIU/mL
- Free Androgen Index: N/A (calculated)
Accuracy and Precision:
The relative standard deviation from the target value is ≤ 15%. The within-assay CV is ≤ 15%. The between-assay CV is ≤ 15%.
Measuring Ranges:
- FSH: 1~100 mIU/mL
- SHGB: 10~1000 nmol/L
- Testosterone: 0.1~16.0 ng/mL
- Luteinising hormone: 1~100 mIU/mL
- Free Androgen Index: N/A (calculated)
Validation-Active Information:
- EQA: Yes
- Inter-laboratory validations
- Periodic according to the validation schedule
- Event-triggered- Qc/Calibration/New materials/Batch
Accuracy and Precision:
The accuracy of this method is based on the relative deviation. The relative deviation is the average deviation from the actual result value.
The precision relies on the within-assay coefficient of variations and the between-assay coefficient. The within-assay coefficient of variations is the variance of the result value if the same sample was analysed again. The between assay coefficient is the variance of the result value if the same sample was reprocessed from the beginning again.
In range results:
FSH:
- Female:5~20 mIU/mL
- Follicular phase: 4.46~12.43 mIU/mL
- Ovulatory phase: 4.88~20.96 mIU/mL
- Luteal phase: 1.95~8.04 mIU/mL
- Menopause: 20.00~98.62 mIU/mL
- Males: 1.50~12.40 mIU/mL.
SHGB:
- Nonpregnant females: 30~200 nmol/L
- Pregnant females: 200~500 nmol/L
- Males: 20~70 nmol/L.
Testosterone:
- Females: 0.10~0.75 ng/mL
- Males: 1.75~7.81 ng/mL
Luteinising hormone:
- Female:
- Follicular phase: 2.95~13.65 mIU/mL
- Ovulatory phase: 13.65~95.75 mIU/mL
- Luteal phase: 1.25~11.00 mIU/mL
- Menopause: 8.74~55.00 mIU/mL
- Males: 1.81~12.40 mIU/mL
Free Androgen Index:
- Females: 0.4-8.4
- Males: 30-150
