ABSTRACT:
A secretion-monitoring article for identifying a secreted biological fluid having a body with an absorbent material and least one pH determining member and a reagent associated with the absorbent material is disclosed. The article can be embodied as a swab, gauze, panty shield, hygienic napkin, diaper or interlabial absorbent structure and can be used to indicate the presence of amniotic fluid, or secretions associated with bacterial, parasite, fungal, or yeast infections without giving a false positive result upon exposure to urine. The present invention also teaches a pH indicator mixture and method of attaching the indicator to a substrate for use alone or integrated in an absorbent body and further teaches a method for monitoring the health condition of a person using the secretion-monitoring article.
