Positive results are indicative of the presence of SARS-CoV-2. Individuals who test positive should self-isolate and seek further care from a healthcare provider. Positive results do not rule out bacterial infection or co-infection with other viruses.\u003cbr\u003e Negative results do not rule out SARS-CoV-2 infection. Individuals who test negative and continue to experience COVID-like symptoms should consult a healthcare provider.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eInstructions for use\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cu\u003eProcedure\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds before and after the test. If soap and water are not available, use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Remove the cap from the tube containing the buffer extraction solution and place the tube in the tube holder on the box.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cu\u003eSample collection\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Remove the sterile swab from the pouch.\u003cbr\u003e Insert the swab into the nostril until slight resistance is felt (approximately 2 cm up the nose). Slowly rotate the swab, rubbing it along the inside of the nostril 5-10 times. This may be uncomfortable. Do not insert the swab deeper if you feel strong resistance or pain. If the nasal mucosa is damaged or bleeding, nasal swab collection is not recommended.\u003cbr\u003e If you are collecting swabs from others, please wear a face mask.\u003cbr\u003e For children, it may not be necessary to insert the swab as deep into the nostril.\u003cbr\u003e For very young children, another person may be needed to hold the child's head still during sample collection.\u003cbr\u003e Gently remove the swab. Using the same swab, repeat the procedure in the other nostril.\u003cbr\u003e Remove the swab.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cu\u003eSample preparation\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Place the swab in the extraction tube, ensuring it touches the bottom, and agitate the swab to mix thoroughly. Press the swab head against the tube and rotate the swab for 10-15 seconds.\u003cbr\u003e Remove the swab by pressing the swab head against the inside of the extraction tube. Place the swab in the biohazard bag.\u003cbr\u003e Close the cap of the extraction tube.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cu\u003eTest procedure\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Remove the test cassette from the sealed foil pouch and use it within one hour. Best results are obtained if the test is performed immediately after opening the foil pouch.\u003cbr\u003e Place the test cassette on a flat surface.\u003cbr\u003e Open the small cap and invert the sample extraction tube, then add 3 drops of the extracted sample to the well (S) of the test cassette and start the timer. Do not move the test cassette during testing.\u003cbr\u003e Read the result at 15 minutes. Do not read the result after 20 minutes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e After the test, place all components in the plastic biohazard bag and dispose of according to local regulations.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cu\u003eReading the results\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Please share your test result with your healthcare provider and carefully follow local guidelines\/requirements regarding COVID cases.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 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) will vary depending on the number of SARS-CoV-2 antigens present in the sample. Therefore, any shade of color in the test region (T) should be interpreted as a positive result.\u003cbr\u003e A positive result means it is very likely that the person is infected with COVID-19.\u003cbr\u003e Positive samples must be confirmed. Immediately self-isolate as prescribed by local regulations and contact your doctor or healthcare district as instructed by local authorities. The test result will be verified by a confirmatory molecular test (PCR) and instructions on the next steps will be provided.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e NEGATIVE: Only one colored line appears in the control region (C). No colored line appears in the test line region (T). It is unlikely that you have been infected with COVID, however, it is possible that this test may give an incorrect result (a false negative) in some people with COVID-19. This means you could have COVID-19 even if the test gave a negative result.\u003cbr\u003e You can repeat the test with a new kit. If in doubt, repeat the test after 1-2 days, as the coronavirus cannot be detected at all stages of infection. Even with a negative result, social distancing and hygiene rules must continue to be observed.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e INVALID: The control line does not appear. Insufficient sample volume or incorrect procedural techniques are the most likely causes of the missing control line.\u003cbr\u003e Review the procedure and repeat the test with a new kit or contact your doctor or a COVID-19 diagnostic center.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eWarnings\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Please read all information in the leaflet before performing the test.\u003cbr\u003e For in vitro self-diagnostic use only. Do not use after the expiration date.\u003cbr\u003e Do not eat, drink, or smoke in the area where samples or kits are handled.\u003cbr\u003e Do not drink the buffer extraction solution contained in the kit.\u003cbr\u003e Handle the swab carefully and avoid contact with skin or eyes; rinse immediately with plenty of running water in case of contact.\u003cbr\u003e Please do not use if the foil packaging is damaged or has been opened.\u003cbr\u003e This test kit should only be used as a preliminary test, and repeatedly abnormal results should be discussed with a doctor or healthcare professional.\u003cbr\u003e Strictly follow the indicated timings.\u003cbr\u003e Use the test only once.\u003cbr\u003e Do not disassemble and touch the test window of the test cassette.\u003cbr\u003e The kit must not be frozen or used after the expiration date printed on the packaging.\u003cbr\u003e Keep out of reach of children.\u003cbr\u003e Testing for children and adolescents should be performed in the presence of an adult. Young children should have the swab performed with the help of a second adult.\u003cbr\u003e Wash hands thoroughly before and after handling.\u003cbr\u003e Please ensure that an adequate amount of sample is used for testing. Too much or too little sample can lead to inaccurate results.\u003cbr\u003e Performance has only been evaluated with nasal swab samples, using the procedures described in the leaflet.\u003cbr\u003e The test will only indicate the presence of SARS-CoV-2 antigens in the sample.\u003cbr\u003e If the test result is negative or non-reactive and clinical symptoms persist, it is because the infection virus is very early and may not be detected. It is recommended to re-test with a new kit or with a molecular diagnostic device to rule out infection in these individuals.\u003cbr\u003e Negative results do not rule out SARS-CoV-2 infection, particularly in those who have been in contact with the virus. Control tests with molecular diagnostics should be considered to rule out infection in these individuals.\u003cbr\u003e Positive COVID-19 results may be due to infection with non-SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus strains or other interfering factors.\u003cbr\u003e Failure to follow testing procedures can alter test performance.\u003cbr\u003e False negative results may occur if a sample is collected or handled improperly or if insufficient levels of virus are present in the sample.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eStorage\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Store as packaged in the sealed pouch at room temperature or refrigerated (2-30 °C). Do not freeze.\u003cbr\u003e The test is stable until the expiration date printed on the sealed pouch. Do not use beyond the expiration date.\u003cbr\u003e The test must remain in the sealed pouch until use.\u003cbr\u003e Shelf life when unopened: 24 months.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The kit contains:\u003cbr\u003e - 1 test cassette;\u003cbr\u003e - 1 sterile swab;\u003cbr\u003e - 1 buffer extraction solution;\u003cbr\u003e - 1 biohazard bag;\u003cbr\u003e - 1 leaflet.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eCode\u003c\/b\u003e INCP-502HALL\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ARTDESIGNS SRL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57340357542232,"sku":"983706538","price":3.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0968\/9301\/0264\/files\/983706538.jpg?v=1779339573","url":"https:\/\/www.globalpharmacy.it\/en\/products\/test-antigenico-rapido-covid-19-alltest-autodiagnostico-determinazione-qualitativa-antigeni-sars-cov-2-in-tamponi-nasalimediante-immunocromatografia","provider":"Global Pharmacy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
