Description
Single-use test intended to detect SARS-CoV-2 that causes COVID-19 with self-collected nasal swab specimens from symptomatic individuals suspected to be infected with COVID-19.
Positive results indicate the presence of viral antigens, but clinical correlation with patient history and other diagnostic information is required to determine the status of the infection. Positive results are indicative of the presence of SARS-CoV-2. Individuals who test positive should self-isolate and contact their treating physician. Positive results do not exclude bacterial infection or coinfection with other viruses.
Negative test results and continuing to experience COVID-like symptoms should contact your healthcare provider.

How to use
Procedure :
Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds before and after the test. If water and soap are not available, use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
Remove the lid of the tube containing the extraction solution and place it in the tube holder in the box.

Sample collection :
Remove the sterile swab from the pouch and insert it into the nostril until a slight resistance is felt (about 2 cm up the nose). Slowly rotate the swab, rubbing it along the inside of the nostril 5-10 times. This process can be annoying. Do not insert the tampon deeper if you feel resistance or pain.
Gently remove the swab. Using the same swab, repeat the process in the other nostril as well.
When the nasal mucosa is damaged or bleeding, the collection of nasal swab is not recommended.
If you are collecting tampons from others, please wear a face mask.
With children, it may not be necessary to insert the tampon so far into the nostril. For very young children, another person may be needed to hold the child's head still while the swab is taken.

Sample preparation :
Place the swab into the extraction tube, make sure it touches the bottom, and shake the swab to mix well. Press the swab head against the tube and rotate the swab for 10-15 seconds. Remove the swab by pressing the head of the swab against the inside of the extraction tube. Discard the used swab in the bio-safety bag. Close the cap of the extraction tube.

Carrying out the test :
Remove the Test Cassette from the sealed foil pouch and use it within one hour. The best results are obtained if the test is performed immediately after opening the foil pouch.
Place the test cassette on a flat surface.
Invert the tube and pour 3 drops of solution into the sample well (S) of the test device and then start the timer.
Do not move the test cassette while the test is running.
Read the results after 15 minutes. Do not interpret the results after 20 minutes.
After the test is complete, place all used test components in the bio-safety bag and dispose of it according to local regulations.

Reading the results :
Inform your doctor of the results and carefully follow local instructions / regulations for COVID cases.

- POSITIVE: two colored lines appear. One colored line should appear in the control zone (C) and another colored line should appear in the test region (T). The intensity of the color in the test line region (T) varies depending on the number of SARS-CoV-2 antigens present in the sample. Hence the presence of u
