3in1 SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza A+B Antigen Combo Rapid Test (nasal swab)

Instructions

Before the test

1. Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds before and after the test, or use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
2. Remove the cover of the tube with extraction buffer and place the tube in the tube holder in the box.

Nasal swab collection

1. Remove the sterile swab from the pouch. Do not touch the soft tip of the swab.
2. Insert the swab into your nostril until you feel slight resistance (approx. 2 cm) and slowly twist it 5–10 times along the nasal wall. Do not insert it deeper if you feel strong resistance or pain. Swab collection is not recommended if the nasal mucosa is damaged or bleeding.
3. Using the same swab, repeat the procedure in the other nostril and withdraw the swab.

Specimen preparation

1. Place the swab into the extraction tube so that it touches the bottom and rotate it for 10–15 seconds while pressing the swab head against the tube wall.
2. Remove the swab while squeezing the swab head against the inside of the tube and place it in a plastic bag.
3. Close the cap or fit the tip onto the tube.

Testing

1. Remove the test cassette from the foil pouch and use it within one hour (best immediately). Place it on a flat, level surface.
2. Invert the tube and add 3 drops of the specimen to each sample well (S) of the test cassette, then start the timer. Do not move the cassette during the test.
3. Read the result at 10 minutes. Do not read the result after 20 minutes.
4. After the test, place all components in a plastic bag, seal it tightly and dispose of it according to local regulations.

Results

POSITIVE – SARS-CoV-2

Two colored lines appear in the COVID-19 window: one in the control region (C) and another in the test region (T).

POSITIVE – INFLUENZA A

Two colored lines appear in the FLU A+B window: one in the control region (C) and another in the Influenza A region (A).

POSITIVE – INFLUENZA B

Two colored lines appear in the FLU A+B window: one in the control region (C) and another in the Influenza B region (B).

POSITIVE – INFLUENZA A AND B

Three colored lines appear in the FLU A+B window: in the control region (C), the Influenza A region (A) and the Influenza B region (B).

NOTE

The color intensity in the test regions (T/A/B) depends on the amount of antigen in the sample, so a line of any shade should be considered positive. If the result is positive, follow local isolation guidelines and contact your doctor.

NEGATIVE

One colored line appears in the control region (C) and no line appears in the test regions (T/A/B). A negative result does not completely rule out infection – if in doubt, repeat the test after 1–2 days.

INVALID

The control line (C) does not appear. The most likely reasons are insufficient specimen volume or an incorrect procedure. Repeat the test with a new kit.
