RAPICHEK Influenza A/B+COVID-19/RSV Combo Ag Test – Test Procedure

1) Remove the foil from the top of the sample collection tube.
2) Place the tube in the tube rack or the hole on box backside.
3) Remove a sampling swab from the pouch.
4) Using the sterile swab provided in the kit, carefully insert the swab into one nostril.
5) The swab tip should be inserted up to 2-4 cm until resistance is met. Roll the swab 5 times in a circular motion around the inside wall to ensure that both mucus and cells are collected. Using the same swab, repeat this process for the other nostril to ensure that an adequate sample is collected from both nasal cavities.
6) Withdraw the swab from the nasal cavity.
7) The specimen is now ready for preparation using the extraction buffer provided in the test kit. Insert the swab in collection tube to the bottom, rotate and squeeze the swab 10 times while pressing the head against the bottom and side of the collection tube.
8) Leave the swab in the collection tube for 1 minute.
9) Rotate and squeeze the tube several times with fingers from outside of the tube to immerse the swab. Remove the swab.
10) Attach the dropper tip firmly onto the tube. Mix thoroughly by swirling or flicking the bottom of the tube.
11) Remove the test from the sealed pouch. Lay it on a flat, clean and dry surface.
12) Reverse the sample collection tube, and add 3 drops of test sample by squeezing the collection solution tube into each of the sample well.
13) Read results at 15 minutes.

 

Note:

  • Please use swab for specimen collection. It is highly recommended to collect specimen with wearing a pair of safety gloves to avoid contamination.
  • Collect sample as soon as after onset of symptoms.
  • It is recommended to treat the sample immediately after collection.
  • The test cassette should not be moved or lifted during the test to prevent inaccurate results.
  • The test is intended to be read at 15 minutes. If the test is read before 10 minutes or is read more than 30 minutes, results may be inaccurate
