It is indicated for self-testing. It only provides an initial screening test result. Alternative, more specific diagnostic methods (molecular diagnosis and\/or CT) should be performed to confirm SARS-CoV-2 infection. The decision on the diagnostic procedure rests with the physician.\u003cbr\u003e The test is based on immunochromatography technology. Each test device features a SARS-CoV-2 antibody line, identified as the detection line (T line), and an anti-mouse IgG antibody line identified as the quality control line (C line).\u003cbr\u003e When the extracted sample is added to the sample well, it will react with the labeled antibody to form a complex; the mixture will then migrate through the membrane by capillary action and interact with the coated anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody on the detection line.\u003cbr\u003e If the sample contains the SARS-CoV-2 antigen, the detection line will appear red, indicating that the SARS-CoV-2 antigen is positive. Otherwise, the test result will be negative.\u003cbr\u003e The test device also contains a quality control line (C line) which must turn red to confirm that the test was performed correctly and is valid. If the quality control line (C line) does not appear, the test result will be invalid, even if the detection line is present.\u003cbr\u003e The test is intended for home use with self-collected nasal swab samples in individuals aged between 16 and 69 years. Sample collection and test execution by individuals under 16 and over 69 should be done under adult supervision. For individuals unable to perform the test themselves, the test should be conducted by legal guardians; ill\/disabled individuals (including those with visual impairments) should be assisted during the test.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eInstructions for use\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cu\u003eSample collection and handling\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Wash hands with soap and water or use hand sanitizer.\u003cbr\u003e Open the swab package at the stick end and remove the swab. Do not touch the swab tip.\u003cbr\u003e Insert the sterile swab into one nostril. Ensure that the entire tip of the swab has been inserted into the nostril (approximately 1.5 cm deep). Rotate the swab 5 times against the mucous membrane inside the nostril to ensure that both mucus and cells are collected. Repeat this process for the other nostril to collect an adequate sample from both nasal cavities (using the same swab).\u003cbr\u003e Samples should be tested as soon as possible after collection (it is recommended to test them within 5 minutes of collection).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cu\u003eTesting procedure\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Allow test devices and extraction solution to equilibrate to 15-30 °C before testing.\u003cbr\u003e Open the extraction solution (in the sealed tube). Insert the swab with the collected sample into the extraction tube containing the extraction solution. Rotate the swab 5 times, pressing the swab tip against the bottom and sides of the tube. Remove the swab by pressing it against the sides of the tube to extract the liquid from the swab. Try to extract as much liquid as possible.\u003cbr\u003e Insert the dropper tip onto the tube. Remove a test device from its sealed pouch and place it on a clean, flat surface.\u003cbr\u003e Apply 3 drops of the extracted sample into the sample well on the test cassette. Avoid bubble formation during this operation.\u003cbr\u003e Read the test result after 15 minutes. Do not read the result after 20 minutes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cu\u003eInterpretation of results\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003e POSITIVE: both the quality control line (C) and the detection line (T) are displayed. Any shade of color on the test line (T) should be considered a positive result.\u003cbr\u003e A positive result indicates suspected COVID-19 infection. In case of suspicion, immediately contact your doctor\/general practitioner or local healthcare facility. Follow local guidelines for self-isolation and subsequently perform a confirmatory PCR test.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e NEGATIVE: only the quality control line (C) is displayed; the detection line (T) does not appear.\u003cbr\u003e In case of a negative result, continue to follow all applicable rules regarding contact with others and protective measures. Infection may still be present even if the test result is negative.\u003cbr\u003e In case of suspicion, as the coronavirus cannot be accurately detected at all stages of infection, immediately contact your doctor\/general practitioner or local healthcare facility.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e INVALID: the quality control line (C) does not appear, indicating that the test is invalid, regardless of whether the detection line appears or not.\u003cbr\u003e Incorrect test execution may be the cause of the control line (C) not appearing. Collect a new sample and perform another test with a new device. If test results continue to be invalid, immediately contact your doctor\/general practitioner or local healthcare facility.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eWarnings\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e For in vitro diagnostic use only, and for self-testing.\u003cbr\u003e Test results should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosing or excluding SARS-CoV-2 infection or for informing on infection status. Do not make any medical decisions without first consulting your doctor.\u003cbr\u003e Negative results do not rule out SARS-CoV-2 infection, particularly in those who have been in contact with the virus. Follow-up molecular diagnostic and\/or CT testing should be considered to rule out infection in these individuals.\u003cbr\u003e Positive results may be due to an existing infection with SARS-coronavirus strains. Follow-up molecular diagnostic and\/or CT testing should be considered to confirm the test result.\u003cbr\u003e Negative results may occur if the antigen level in the sample is below the test's detection limit.\u003cbr\u003e Inaccurate results may occur due to visibly bloody or excessively viscous samples, insufficient sample volume, or bubble formation during application.\u003cbr\u003e Do not use damaged or unusable swabs.\u003cbr\u003e Individuals with color vision deficiencies may not be able to adequately interpret test results.\u003cbr\u003e Keep out of reach of children.\u003cbr\u003e Use the test device within 60 minutes of opening the foil pouch.\u003cbr\u003e Do not perform the test in direct sunlight. Do not use the test device if it has been exposed to household cleaning products (especially bleach).\u003cbr\u003e Keep foreign substances away from the test device during the testing procedure.\u003cbr\u003e Please take necessary safety measures (e.g., face mask, gloves) when performing tests for other people.\u003cbr\u003e Used test components must be disposed of in accordance with local requirements, and can be placed in a tightly sealed bag and disposed of as household waste.\u003cbr\u003e Further molecular diagnostic and\/or CT testing is recommended to identify the actual physical situation.\u003cbr\u003e Do not open the test device's foil pouch, exposing it to the environment, until you are ready for immediate use.\u003cbr\u003e Do not use damaged test devices or materials.\u003cbr\u003e Do not reuse the test device.\u003cbr\u003e Handle the extraction solution with care; do not touch eyes or skin. In case of contact with eyes or skin, wash thoroughly with water.\u003cbr\u003e Do not use the test kit beyond the expiration date.\u003cbr\u003e Follow the package insert for accurate results.\u003cbr\u003e Wash hands thoroughly after handling and wash hands before sample collection and test performance.\u003cbr\u003e The test does not determine the etiology of respiratory infection caused by microorganisms other than the SARS-CoV-2 virus.\u003cbr\u003e The accuracy of the test depends on the quality of the sample collected with the swab. False negative results may occur if the sample is not collected adequately.\u003cbr\u003e Failure to follow the test procedure may negatively impact test performance and\/or invalidate the result.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eStorage\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Store the test kit in a dry place between 2-30 °C. Keep away from light. Exposure to temperatures and\/or humidity outside the specified limits may cause inaccurate results. Do not freeze.\u003cbr\u003e Shelf life of unopened packaging: 24 months.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The kit contains:\u003cbr\u003e - test device;\u003cbr\u003e - extraction solution (in sealed tube);\u003cbr\u003e - tube tip;\u003cbr\u003e - sterile swab;\u003cbr\u003e - instruction leaflet.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eBibliography\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 1.
