Description
The Ovutime Ovulation Test, which indicated the presence of the luteinizing hormone (LH) associated with ovulation, was on the market by 1986. According to claims on the package, the test “accurately predicts the time of ovulation up to 36 hours in advance.” Moreover, “Although OVUTIME provided valuable information about the time of ovulation, the results are not intended for contraception purposes.” The Ovutime Ovulation Test was distributed by Advanced Care Products, a Division of Ortho Pharmaceutical Corp.
