Warming Pads

The heat packs are a supplementary heat source that work with your body. One heat pack will maintain that temperature for at least 10 hours. Please note, if you are using the concentrated urine start with warm (100 degrees) water and then mix the concentrate with the water. Open up one heat pack. Apply it to the adhesive tab (above  the  temperature strip). This locates the heat pack on the side of the bag away from your body. The LCD temperature strip on the vinyl bag will read the actual fluid temperature.

 

And NO They NEVER get too hot. The brand and size used in this kit have been specifically chosen after extensive testing and proven to work perfectly when used as instructed.

Do not open the heat pad wrapper until the day of your test.  Open the cellophane and shake the pad to activate.  Once exposed to the atmosphere, it will have a life expectancy of 10 hours.  The pad may feel only slightly warm to the touch because it runs at 98 to 100 degrees.   WARNING: Do not allow heat pack to lie directly against your skin, it may cause burns.

Temperature:  The temperature of the sample is very important.  Urine leaves your body at 98.6 degrees.  In order to validate an unobserved urine test, the tester needs to see the sample close to that temperature.   When worn with a heat pad, it will maintain the temperature at 98 to 100 degrees.  It will never over heat.  It should take 15 minutes to one hour to reach testing temperature.

Place around your waist with the vinyl bag against your abdomen.  It must be against your bare skin in order to allow for proper heat transfer.  Be sure that the drain tube is on the bottom allowing the correct flow.  Do not kink or bind the tubing.  The two clips can be moved along the tube to provide convenient access.
