The results of a hospital pregnancy test?

I am an hca at my local trust and used a testing kit for pregnancy, this one usually goes in the machine. I know usually that testing kits show two lines for a positive result but this test has 3 obviously mean different things. i Have 2 lines does that mean a positive result? It's a siemens clinitest test for hcg.

1. hmm i have never heard of tests like this before you must be in a different country from me, is there no instructions?
2. I think you should ask someone at the hospital or someone who is more familiar with this type of test. I highly doubt someone on Yahoo Answers is going to be able to tell you this.
3. I suggest you go out and buy one from a shop it will put your mind at rest sooner.
4. I would say pregnant, but take another test
5. The SIEMENS clinitek HCG test has two controls unlike the other HPT. So probably the two lines you saw were the controls. On the clinitek you will need to show the control. But these test's machines always print's out the result telling you if its a negative ,borderline or positive I am sorry i dont think its a positive !
