When Group A Strep antigen levels in the samples are at or above the cut-off, a visible colored line appears in the test area, indicating a positive result. The absence of such a colored line in the test area suggests a negative result. If the test has been performed correctly, a colored line will appear in the control area as a procedural control method.\u003cbr\u003e For in vitro self-diagnostic use.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eInstructions for use\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cu\u003eSample collection and preparation\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Collect the sample with the sterile pharyngeal swab provided in the kit. Hold down the tongue with a tongue depressor. Swab the back of the pharynx, tonsils, and other inflamed areas. Avoid touching the tongue, cheeks, and teeth with the swab.\u003cbr\u003e The test should ideally be performed immediately after sample collection.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cu\u003ePerforming the test\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Bring the device and extraction reagents to room temperature (10-30 °C) before performing the test.\u003cbr\u003e Add 4 drops of extraction reagent A and 4 drops of reagent B to the respective extraction tube and mix thoroughly.\u003cbr\u003e Place the extraction swab in the tube. Swirl the swab ten times. Leave the swab in the tube for 1 minute. Then remove the swab while pressing the swab head against the walls of the tube to release as much liquid as possible into the tube. Discard the used swab.\u003cbr\u003e Remove the test from the sealed foil pouch, tearing at the notch, and place the test on a clean, dry, flat surface.\u003cbr\u003e Add 3 drops of extracted sample to the sample well on the test cassette.\u003cbr\u003e Wait 10 minutes and read the results. Do not read results after 15 minutes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cu\u003eInterpretation of results\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003e POSITIVE: Two colored lines appear, one in the test area (T) and one in the control area (C). A Group A Strep infection may be present; it is recommended to consult your doctor.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e NEGATIVE: Only one colored line appears in the control area (C). No colored line appears in the test area (T). The concentration of Group A Streptococcus antigen is at or below the detection limit of the test.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e INVALID: No colored line appears, or only one colored line appears in the test area (T) and no colored line appears in the control area (C). The absence of the control line (C) indicates that an error occurred during the test procedure or that the test reagent has deteriorated. Repeat the test again with a new kit. If the test yields an invalid result again, contact the local distributor.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eWarnings\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e For in vitro self-diagnostic use only.\u003cbr\u003e Do not ingest.\u003cbr\u003e Do not swap caps between reagents.\u003cbr\u003e Do not use the test beyond the expiration date.\u003cbr\u003e Keep out of reach of children.\u003cbr\u003e Do not use the test if the package is punctured or not well sealed.\u003cbr\u003e The test is single-use: discard after use.\u003cbr\u003e Avoid contact of reagents A and B with eyes, sensitive mucous membranes, cuts, abrasions, etc. If reagents come into contact with skin or eyes, rinse thoroughly with water.\u003cbr\u003e Do not eat, drink, or smoke in the area where samples are handled and where the test is performed.\u003cbr\u003e The used device, swab, and extraction tube should be treated as infectious waste and therefore disposed of in biohazard waste containers.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eStorage\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Store at 4-30 °C.
