Preparation And Handling

To perform the FlowFlex COVID-19 antigen rapid test, follow these steps:

• Wash your hands with soap or use alcohol-based sanitizer and dry them before handling the test kit.
• Read and understand the instructions provided in the package insert.
• Check that the contents of the kit are complete and that the expiration date on the cassette foil pouch is still valid. Do not use the test if the packaging is damaged or opened.
• Open the foil pouch and place the test cassette on a clean and flat surface. If testing a child aged 2 to 13, an adult should take the nasal swab sample. Individuals aged 14 or above can self-take the sample.

How To Use The FlowFlex COVID Rapid Test?

To collect and process the nasal samples for the FlowFlex COVID-19 antigen rapid test, follow these steps carefully:

• Peel open the foil cover on top of the extraction buffer tube.
• Punch through the perforated circle in the kit box and place the buffer tube upright through the hole in the box.
• Open the pack containing the sterile swab at the stick end, making sure not to touch the cotton tip to avoid contamination.
• To take nasal samples, insert the cotton tip into a nostril about ½ to ¾ inch of the way. Rub the tip in a circular motion against the nasal wall 5 times, taking at least 15 seconds to collect enough specimens. Repeat the process in the other nostril using the same swab.
• After collecting the samples, place the swab tip into the buffer tube and swirl it around in the extraction buffer solution for 30 seconds.
• Squeeze the sides of the tube against the swab tip and rotate the stick 5 times. While still squeezing the tube, pull out the nasal swab to squeeze out all the liquid from the absorbent tip. Dispose of the swab properly in a garbage bin.
• Close the dropper tip on the buffer tube properly and swirl the tube to mix the contents well.
• Gently squeeze the tube above the sample well on the test cassette and add 4 drops of the solution.
• Set a timer for 15 minutes and wait for the test to complete. Do not read the results after 30 minutes.
• Note: Failure to follow any of these instructions properly may result in a false negative test result.

Interpretation Of Results

• If there is only 1 line and it appears on the Control line (C), the result is NEGATIVE. This indicates that the test has been conducted properly and that no COVID-19 antigens have been detected. The patient is not infected.
• If there are 2 lines, one on the Control line (C) and another on the Test line (T), the result is POSITIVE. The Control line (C) confirms that the test is valid, and any line on the Test line (T), regardless of its strength, indicates the presence of COVID-19 antigens. The patient is most likely a carrier of the virus and may be contagious.
• If there is only 1 line and it appears on the Test line (T), the result is INVALID. This means that the test has not been executed properly. Even if a line is visible on the Test line (T), the result cannot be interpreted as either positive or negative. In this case, a re-test is necessary using a new test kit.
