Procedure:

• Rotate the lid of the sample extraction buffer bottle to open.
• Squeeze all of the extraction buffer into the extraction tube
  • Tubes can be placed in the tube stand provided
• Gently open the swab packaging
• Insert the swab tip into one nostril – swab should be inserted no less than 2.5cm from the edge of the nostril.
• Roll the swab 3-4 times along the mucosa inside the nostril
• Leave the swab in the nostril for several seconds
• Using the same swab repeat this process in the other nostril
  • This may feel uncomfortable, do not insert the swab any further if you feel strong resistance or pain.
• Place the swab in the extraction tube, roll the swab 3-5 times and then leave in the tube for 1 minute.
• Pinch the extraction as you take out the swab to remove as much solution as possible
• Install the nozzle top of the extraction tube tightly
• Open the pouch and remove the test card (Once opened the test card must be used immediately)
• Add 3 or 4 drops (depending on brand of test) from the extraction tube to the specimen well of the card – marked (S)
• Read the results at 15-20 minutes – (Results after 20 minutes may not be accurate)

Results:

• Lines will appear in the Control Zone (C) and Test Zone (T) as the sample liquid flows through the test card
  • A line in both C & T zones is a positive result even if the lines are very faint.
  • A line in the C zone and none in the T zone is negative
• There must always be a line in the Control Zone (C) or the test has not worked – repeat with a new card if this occurs.
