What is it indicated for?

The Ovulation Predictor test is used for the qualitative measurement of LH and the detection of LH surge in a woman's urine as an aid in conception by accurately and reliably predicting ovulation. The Ovulation Predictor test is intended for use outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use) by women at home. The Ovulation Predictor test is an over the counter (OTC) device that will be sold under the name Inverness Medical Early Ovulation Predictor, and under various private labels as Early Ovulation Predictor or Ovulation Predictor.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
