Procedure & Preparation

Specimen Collection
  1. Peel off the aluminum foil seal and rotate the swab inside the extraction vial vigorously at least 5 times
  2. Remove the swab by rotating against the extraction vial while squeezing the sides of the vial to release the liquid from the swab. Properly discard the swab.
  3. Close the vial by pushing the cap firmly onto the vial and mix thoroughly by flicking the bottom of the tube.
  4. Invert the extraction vial and hold the sample vertically above the sample well. Squeeze the vial gently. Allow three (3) drops of sample to fall into the sample well.


COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test Kit Results Interpretation

Sample Results Interpretation

Read the result at 10 minutes. The test result should not be read after 15 minutes


Positive Negative Invalid
SARS-CoV-2 antigen present does not rule out co-infection with other pathogens. The color intensity in the test region will vary depending on the amount of SARS-CoV-2 antigen present in the sample. Any faint colored line(s) in the test region(s) should be considered as positive. Negative test results do not preclude infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other patient management decisions, including infection control decisions. It is recommended that these results be confirmed by a molecular testing method, if necessary for patient management. Re-run the test one time using the remaining specimen in the extraction vial if an invalid result is obtained during initial testing.

Warning: The false positive, false negative, or invalid results may occur if the test is interpreted outside of the interpretation window.


This product has not been FDA cleared or approved, but has been authorized by FDA under an EUA for use by authorized laboratories.
