3. All samples must be mixed well and equilibrated to room temperature before testing.

Instructions for Use

Note: Reading the IFU carefully before using this reagent, and perform testing strictly in accordance with the IFU, otherwise reliable results cannot be guaranteed.

1. Before testing

It is recommended to unpack the test card after equilibrating to room temperature and use it as soon as possible within the validity period to prevent the test card from humidity before testing.

2. Extract

After the subject coughs deeply, spit the expectorated sputum or saliva into the collection funnel gently until the liquid reach 2 mL.Gently turn the saliva collector to make the sputum or saliva flow into the collection tube completely.Tighten the tube cap and attach the label noting the subject information and sampling date after unscrewing the collection funnel carefully. Turn upside down the collection tube slightly for 5 seconds, so that the diluent can mix with the sputum or saliva sample evenly.

3. Loading

Tear off the aluminium foil packaging bag, take out the test card, lay it flat on a horizontal table, drop 3~4 drops (about 100 μL) of the sample vertically into the sample hole, and start timing.

4. Detect

Observe the result in 15 minutes after adding the sample, and the test result is invalid after 20 minutes.

Interpretation of the Result

1. Invalid: When there is no red line in the quality control area (C), the test is invalid. It is recommended to retest with a new test card, paying particular attention to whether the sample volume is sufficient.

2. Positive: A red line appears in the detection area (T) and the quality control area (C) .

3. Negative: A red line only appears in the quality control area (C).
