It's called a "test strip", common in a lot of testing situations. Just dip it in and the various test surfaces change colors in accordance with relative chemical conditions. No, it has nothing to do with testing or changing your oil. ;D

The urine needs to be checked for blood and/or infection.
Do not use in the presence of a UTI because administration may result in the risk of disseminated BCG infection or in an increased severity of bladder irritation.

My doctor did . But the hospital didn't for my first one. I told my urologist and he called them. so from now on they will do that. He said it is a simple dipstick kind of thing and they were fine with it.
I go for the second one tmorrow
