This antigen is generally found in samples taken from the upper respiratory tract during the acute phase of infection.\u003cbr\u003e Test results are read visually within the next 15-30 minutes, based on the presence or absence of colored lines. \u003cbr\u003ePositive results indicate the presence of viral antigens, but a patient's medical history and other personal diagnostic data are required to determine the infection status. Positive results do not rule out bacterial infections or simultaneous infection with other viruses. The detected pathogen may not be the exact cause of the condition.\u003cbr\u003e Negative results obtained in subjects with symptoms lasting more than seven days should be treated as probable negative. If necessary, seek confirmation through molecular testing. Negative results do not rule out SARS-CoV-2 infection.\u003cbr\u003e A colored line, serving as a procedural control, will always appear in the control line area, indicating that sufficient sample volume has been added and membrane adsorption has occurred.\u003cbr\u003e The test is intended for use as an aid in the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection. \u003cbr\u003eThe usability of self-testing by individuals under 18 has not been established. It is recommended that anyone under 18 be tested by an adult.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eHow to use\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 1. \u003cu\u003ePreparation\u003c\/u\u003e :\u003cbr\u003e Wash or disinfect your hands. Make sure they are dry before starting the test.\u003cbr\u003e Before using the test kit, please read the instructions carefully.\u003cbr\u003e Check the expiration date printed on the foil pouch. Open the pouch. Check the result window and sample well on the cassette.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 2. \u003cu\u003eSample collection\u003c\/u\u003e :\u003cbr\u003e Anyone 18 years of age or older can perform a self-swab test. Children under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Follow local guidelines for sample collection for children.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 3. \u003cu\u003eAnalysis procedure\u003c\/u\u003e : \u003cbr\u003eUnscrew the dropper cap from the extraction solution tube without squeezing it. Insert the tube into the hole on the kit box (or place the tube in the tube holder).\u003cbr\u003e Open the swab package at the end of the stick. Do not touch the absorbent tip of the swab with your hands.\u003cbr\u003e Insert the entire absorbent tip of the swab into one nostril. Using a gentle rotation, push the swab within 1 inch of the nostril's edge. Rotate the swab 5 times, gently touching the inside of the nostril. Remove the swab, insert it into the other nostril, and repeat the procedure.\u003cbr\u003e Remove the swab and insert it into the test tube, rotating it in a circular motion for 30 seconds. Rotate the swab 5 times, simultaneously squeezing the sides of the test tube. Remove the swab while squeezing the test tube. \u003cbr\u003eFirmly attach the dropper tip to the extraction buffer tube containing the sample. Mix thoroughly by swirling or tapping the bottom of the tube. Unscrew the small cap from the end of the dropper. Gently squeeze the tube and dispense 4 drops of solution into the sample well.\u003cbr\u003e Read the result when the timer reaches 15-30 minutes. Do not read if 30 minutes have passed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 4. \u003cu\u003eInterpretation of results\u003c\/u\u003e :\u003cbr\u003e NEGATIVE: Only the control line (C) appears and no test line (T). This means that no SARS-CoV-2 antigen has been detected.\u003cbr\u003e A negative test result indicates that you are unlikely to have COVID-19 at this time. \u003cbr\u003eContinue to follow all applicable rules and precautions when interacting with others. A current infection is possible even if the test is negative. If you suspect this, repeat the test after 1 or 2 days, as the coronavirus cannot be accurately detected at all stages of infection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e POSITIVE: Both the control line (C) and the test line (T) appear. This means that the SARS-CoV-2 antigen has been detected (Note: Any line, even a very faint one, present in the test line area should be considered positive).\u003cbr\u003e A positive test result indicates a very high probability that you have COVID-19. Contact your doctor\/primary care provider or local health authority immediately. Follow local guidelines regarding self-isolation. A confirmatory PCR test must be performed.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eINVALID: The control line (C) does not appear. The most likely reasons for an invalid result are insufficient specimen volume or incorrect procedure. Reread the instructions and repeat the test with a new cassette.\u003cbr\u003e If your test results continue to be invalid, contact your doctor or a COVID-19 testing center.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eWarnings\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Before performing the test, read the package insert carefully. Failure to follow the instructions may result in inaccurate test results.\u003cbr\u003e Do not use the test after the expiration date shown on the pouch.\u003cbr\u003e Do not eat, drink or smoke before and during the test.\u003cbr\u003e Do not use the test if the pouch is damaged.\u003cbr\u003e All used tests, specimens, and potentially contaminated material must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.\u003cbr\u003e Humidity and temperature can negatively affect results. \u003cbr\u003eThe test line for a sample with a high viral load may appear within 15 minutes or even sooner, when the sample exceeds the test line area.\u003cbr\u003e The test line for a sample with a low viral load may appear within 30 minutes.\u003cbr\u003e Do not collect the nasal swab sample if you have a nosebleed.\u003cbr\u003e Wash hands thoroughly after use.\u003cbr\u003e If the extraction swab accidentally comes into contact with skin or eyes, rinse with large amounts of water and consult a doctor if necessary.\u003cbr\u003e The test is for self-testing only: it should only be used for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antigen in anterior nasal swab specimens.\u003cbr\u003e The intensity of the test line does not necessarily correlate with the SARS-CoV-2 viral load in the sample. \u003cbr\u003eA false negative test may occur if the antigen concentration in a sample is below the test's detection limit or if the sample was collected incorrectly.\u003cbr\u003e The results of the analysis must be observed in the light of other clinical data available to the physician.\u003cbr\u003e Positive results do not rule out the presence of co-infections caused by other pathogens. Positive results do not rule out SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2.\u003cbr\u003e Negative test results do not rule out the presence of other viral or bacterial infections. A negative result obtained in a subject with symptoms lasting more than 7 days should be treated as probable negative and, if necessary, verified by molecular testing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eConservation\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Store at 2°C to 30°C. Do not freeze.\u003cbr\u003e The test is stable until the expiration date printed on the sealed pouch. Do not use after the expiration date. \u003cbr\u003eThe test must remain in the sealed pouch until ready for use.\u003cbr\u003e Shelf life in intact packaging: 24 months.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The kit contains:\u003cbr\u003e - 1 test cassette\u003cbr\u003e - 1 extraction swab tube\u003cbr\u003e - 1 disposable swab\u003cbr\u003e - 1 waste bag\u003cbr\u003e - package leaflet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eBibliography\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 1.
