Bring tests, specimens, and/or controls to room temperature (15-30°C)
before use.
1. Remove the test from its sealed pouch, and place it on a clean, level
surface. Label the device with patient or control identification. For best
results, the assay should be performed within one hour.
2. Gently mix Extraction reagent solution. Add 6 drops(about 200ul) of the
Extraction Solution into the Extraction tube.
3. Place the patient swab specimen into the Extraction Tube. Roll the swab
at least 10 times while pressing the swab against the bottom and side of
the Extraction Tube. Roll the swab head against the inside of the
Extraction Tube as you remove it. Try to release as much liquid as
possible. Dispose of the used swab in accordance with your biohazard
waste disposal protocol.
4. Put on the tube tip, then add 4 drops of extracted sample into the
sample well. Do not handle or move the Test Device until the test is
complete and ready for reading.
5. As the test begins to work, color will migrate across the membrane. Wait
for the colored band(s) to appear. The result should be read at 10
minutes. Do not interpret the result after 20 minutes.
