Operating Instructions: Performing the Test
Follow these steps carefully to perform the test:
- Collect Sample: Carefully remove the nasal swab from its packaging. Insert the entire soft tip of the swab into your left nostril about 0.5 to 1 inch until resistance is met. Firmly rub the swab in a circular motion against the inside of your nostril 5 times. Using the same swab, repeat the process in your right nostril 5 times.
- Prepare Sample: Immediately insert the swab tip into the sample collection tube. Swirl the swab vigorously in the liquid for at least 10 seconds, pressing the tip against the bottom and sides of the tube.
- Extract Sample: While squeezing the tube, remove the swab. Dispose of the swab in a biohazard bag or sealed plastic bag. Securely close the cap of the sample collection tube.
- Add Drops to Cassette: Invert the sample collection tube and add 3 drops of the solution into the sample well (S) of the test cassette.
- Wait for Results: Set a timer for 10 minutes. Do not read the results before 10 minutes or after 15 minutes.

Reading Your Results
Interpret your test results between 10 and 15 minutes after adding the drops to the cassette. Do not interpret results after 15 minutes as they may be inaccurate.

Positive Result
A positive result is indicated by the presence of the Control line (C) and one or more of the test lines (COV, Flu B, Flu A). Even a faint line should be considered a positive result.
- COVID-19 Positive: Control line (C) and COVID line (COV) appear.
- Flu A Positive: Control line (C) and Flu A line appear.
- Flu B Positive: Control line (C) and Flu B line appear.
- Combinations of Flu A, Flu B, and COVID-19 positive results are also possible, indicated by the respective lines appearing along with the Control line.
Negative Result
A negative result is indicated by the presence of only the Control line (C). No other lines (COV, Flu B, Flu A) appear.
Invalid Result
An invalid result occurs if the Control line (C) is not visible. This means the test did not run correctly. Discard the test and repeat with a new kit, ensuring all steps are followed precisely.
Maintenance and Storage
- Store the test kits in their original sealed pouches at room temperature (36-86°F / 2-30°C) until the expiration date printed on the packaging.
- Do not freeze the test kits.
- Once the foil pouch is opened, the test cassette should be used immediately.
- Dispose of used test components in accordance with local regulations for biohazardous waste.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No lines appear on the test cassette. | Insufficient sample applied, or test performed incorrectly. | Ensure 3 drops of solution are added to the sample well. Repeat the test with a new kit, carefully following all instructions. |
| Only the Control line (C) is visible, but symptoms are present. | Negative result. The test did not detect antigens. | A negative result does not rule out infection. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare professional. |
| Test lines (COV, Flu A, Flu B) appear without the Control line (C). | Invalid test. The test did not run correctly. | Discard the test and repeat with a new kit. Ensure the test is performed within the specified temperature range and all steps are followed. |
| Results are unclear or faint. | Insufficient sample, improper mixing, or reading outside the time window. | Ensure proper sample collection and mixing. Read results strictly between 10 and 15 minutes. If still unclear, repeat the test. |
