Covid-19 Hotgen 1 Test Autotest Nasal Swab

Covid-19 Hotgen Autotest Nasal Swab - Rapid Test

This kit is intended for in vitro self-diagnostic use for the qualitative determination of SARS-CoV-2 antigen in human specimens obtained from nasal swab.
The test can be used for rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2 antigen from individuals suspected of being infected with COVID-19 within the first 7 days of onset of symptoms.
Children and minors must be supported by an adult to perform the test.

How to use

Wash and dry your hands thoroughly before testing. Read the instructions for use carefully before performing the test.
Remove the swab from the package trying not to touch the padded tip with your hands. Gently insert the swab 1.5 cm into the nostril until resistance is felt. With moderate pressure, rotate the swab 4-6 times in the nostril for at least 15 seconds. Repeat the procedure with the same swab in the other nostril as well.
After sampling, remove the purple cap from the tube and immerse the swab in it. Keep the swab immersed in the buffer solution for at least 15 seconds, rotating it several times and pressing the muffled tip to the bottom of the tube for at least 3 times. Before removing the swab from the tube, squeeze the tip by squeezing the flexible tube several times from the outside with your fingers. Close the tube with the special purple cap.
Open the package and place the test card on a flat surface. Remove the clear glass and add 4 drops of the compound to the well (S) of the reagent card.
Read the results after 15 minutes. The results read after 30 minutes are no longer valid.
After testing, seal all used components in the appropriate biowaste bag. Do not reuse.
Wash or disinfect your hands again.

Interpretation of the results

POSITIVE : Two red bands appear in the reading window. A red or purple band appears in the control zone (C) and the other near the test zone (T), thus indicating a positive test and a suspected COVID-19 infection.

NEGATIVE : only one red-violet band is visible in the control zone (C) in the reading window, thus indicating the absence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in the analyzed sample or that the virus concentration is below the detection limit of the kit.

INVALID : no red-purple lines appear in the reading window. The test is therefore invalid. It is recommended to review the procedure and repeat the test with a new kit.
