ما هو منبه التبغ؟

هو اختبار منزلي يوفر لكم قراءة سريعة ومضبوطة في جزء من الثانية لمدى تعرض الشخص للتبغ بما فيهم المدخن الثانوي وهو ليس معد للاستخدام الطبي.

منبه التبغ سهل الاستعمال وسريع.. وهو شريط اختبار البول لمن يدخن السيجار والسيجارة والغليون ويمضغ التبغ.

منبه التبغ يقيس نسبة الكوتينين وهو ناتج تكسر النيكوتين في الجسم وهو المادة الفعالة في منتجات التبغ ودخنا التبغ. الكوتينين هو من اكثر المواد التي تكشف مدى تعرض الشخص للنيكوتين بمن فيهم المدخن الثانوي.

الاستعمال

الكشف عن التعرض الحالي للتيغ بما في ذلك التدخين الثانوي.. الاشخاص المرجحون لاستعماله هم الوالدين والاطفال ، العمال في اماكن العمل وكل من يتعرض الى دخان السيجارة.

ملاحظة هذا المنتج غير معد للاستعمال الطبي وهو غيرمصمم للكشف عن اي مرض او معالجته.

كيف يعمل؟

تحتوي نهاية الشريط على جزيئات ذهبية مطلية بمادة فيها مضاد للكوتينين في البول. بعد ان توضع نهاية الشريط في البول تتحرك الجزيئات الذهبية الى اماكن معينة في الشريط . كلما زاد نسبة الكوتينين المتحد مع الجزيئات الذهبية كلما كان تحركها اكثر. الخطوط الحمراء التي نراها في الشريط دلالة على اتحاد الجزيئات الذهبية في مشابكها الخاصة على الشريط.

هذا الشريط حساس ويقيس كميات صغيرة تصل الى 6 نانوغرام /مللتر من الكوتينين في البول (جزء من 6 بليون في ملعقة شاي).

What is TobacAlert?
TobacAlert™ is a home test that provides you with a quick, accurate, on-the-spot determination
of a person’s level of exposure to tobacco products including second hand smoke. It is not
intended for medical use.
TobacAlert™ is an easy to use, fast and accurate urine test strip. It can detect exposure to second
hand smoke and the use of cigarettes, pipes, cigars, chewing tobacco.
TobacAlert™ measures levels of cotinine, a byproduct of the body’s breakdown of nicotine, the
active ingredient found in tobacco products and tobacco smoke. Cotinine is a widely accepted
indicator of recent tobacco product use and exposure, including second hand smoke exposure.
Primary Uses
Detection of recent second hand smoke exposure. Potential users include parents of young
children, workers in a smoky workplace and other persons concerned about the harmful effects
of second hand smoke.
Detection, verification and monitoring of tobacco use status. Potential
users include smokers trying to quit, parents worried about whether a
teenaged child may be smoking, coaches, insurance companies and
smoking cessation counsellors.
NOTE: TobacAlert™ is for non-medical use. TobacAlert™ is not intended to diagnose, treat
or prevent any disease or medical condition.
How it works
The end of the TobacAlert™ strip contains gold particles coated with an
antibody that selectively binds to cotinine in the urine. After the end of
the strip is dipped in urine, the gold particles migrate through specialized
“traps” in the strip. The more cotinine bound to a gold particle, the
further it is able to migrate along the strip. The reddish bands seen on the
developed strip correspond to gold particles caught in a particular trap.
TobacAlert™ is extremely sensitive and can measure amounts as low as
6 nanograms of cotinine per milliliter of urine (6 billionths of a gram in
one fifth of a teaspoon).

Questions and Answers
Q: Is it necessary to use a morning urine?
A: No. The test can use a urine sample collected at any time of the day.
Q: What does a variation in the intensity of the color of the result signify?
A: The colors may vary from pale pink to reddish, but this is not significant.
Q: What if the results are not clear to me?
A: If no reddish lines appear, the test has not been used according to the
instructions. Repeat with a new test following the instructions carefully.
Q: Do medications influence the result?
A: Except for nicotine medications such as a patch or nicotine gum, medicines do not usually have an effect on the result.
Q: What does a negative result mean?
A: A negative result (“0”) means that you have no or very little second hand smoke exposure in the past 2 to 3 days.
It also means that you have not used a tobacco product in the past 2 to 3 days.
Q: What does a positive result mean?
A: A positive result (“1” or higher) means that you have been exposed to second hand smoke in the past 2 to 3
days if you are a non-user of tobacco products. A positive result can also be caused by use of tobacco products
such as cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco, etc., or nicotine medications such as a patch or nicotine gum or
lozenge. A positive result of “3” or higher indicates that you are very likely a smoker or user of tobacco or
nicotine products.
Q: Are there any medications or foods, etc. that can cause the test to be positive even when there is no second hand
smoke exposure (this is called a “false positive”)?
A: The test can be positive if you are a smoker, if you chew tobacco, or if you use a nicotine patch or nicotine gum.
Q: What is the lowest amount of second hand smoke exposure that the test can detect?
A: The test can detect as little as 6 nanograms per mL of cotinine (a nanogram is one billionth of a gram, a mL is
one fifth of a teaspoon). The amount of exposure you have will vary depending on the amount of smoke in the
air and other factors. The test can be positive if you have been in a tobacco smoke environment for a little as an
hour in the past 2 to 3 days.
Q: Are there other tests available like this?
A: Currently there are no other similar reliable quantitative tests for tobacco product exposure (without sending
samples to a slow, costly specialized reference laboratory).
Q: What is the equivalent number of cigarettes per day (cpd) to the cotinine level?
A: The cpd level is a poor measure of nicotine intake, which is why the test is so valuable. Different smokers use
different brands, inhale differently and smoke varying amounts of the cigarette.
