Instructions

To gather and analyse your sample, follow these simple steps:

Preparation:

  1. Wash or sanitize your hands thoroughly. Ensure they are dry before beginning the test.
  2. Familiarise yourself with the instructions provided for the Flu Test.
  3. Check the expiration date on the cassette foil pouch to ensure it is still valid.
  4. Allow the test, specimen, and extraction buffer to reach room temperature (15-30°C) before proceeding with the test.
  5. Open the pouch and place the cassette on a flat and clean surface. Verify the result window and specimen well on the cassette.

Test Procedure:

  1. Carefully remove the aluminum foil from the top of the extraction buffer, being cautious not to spill any of its contents.
  2. Insert the tube into the hole on the kit box or place the tube in the tube holder.
  3. Open the swab packaging from the stick end. Caution: Avoid touching the absorbent tip of the swab with your hands.
  4. Gently insert the entire absorbent tip of the swab head into one nostril, typically around 1.5 – 2.5 cm.
  5. Rotate the swab five times, brushing against the inside of the nostril, and then remove the swab from the nostril.
  6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the other nostril.
  7. Insert the swab into the tube and swirl it for 30 seconds.
  8. While squeezing the side of the tube, rotate the swab five times.
  9. Remove the swab while continuing to squeeze the tube.
  10. Firmly attach the dropper tip to the extraction buffer tube. Mix the contents thoroughly by swirling or flicking the bottom of the tube.
  11. Gently squeeze the tube and dispense 4 drops of the solution into the specimen well.
  12. Wait for the colored line(s) to appear. Read the result after 15 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 20 minutes.

Please follow these instructions carefully to ensure accurate and reliable test results.
Frequently Asked Question

1: How does this test work?
The Influenza A/B Rapid Test uses a membrane-based immunoassay to detect the presence of Influenza A and B virus antigens in a sample. If the virus is present, it reacts with antibodies on the test strip, forming a visible line to indicate a positive result for either type A, type B, or both.

2: Who is this test intended for?
This test is designed for individuals showing symptoms of flu, such as a sudden fever, dry cough, headache, and muscle or joint pain.

3: What is the principle behind the test?
The test works by identifying antigens from Influenza A or B viruses in swab samples. These antigens bind to specific antibodies and create visible lines on the test strip, indicating which type of virus is present.

4: What types of samples can be used?
You can use nasal, throat, or nasopharyngeal swab samples for this test.

5: How do I know if the test was done correctly?
A colored line appearing in the control region of the test strip means the procedure was performed properly and enough sample was applied.
