The absence of this colored line in the test region suggests a negative result.\u003cbr\u003e If the test was performed correctly, a colored line will appear in the control region as a procedural control.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eHow to use\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cu\u003eSample collection and preparation\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Collect the sample with the sterile throat swab provided in the kit. Hold your tongue down with a tongue depressor. Swab the back of your throat, tonsils, and other inflamed areas. Avoid touching your tongue, cheeks, and teeth with the swab.\u003cbr\u003e The test should ideally be performed immediately after sample collection.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cu\u003eRunning 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 tubes and mix thoroughly. Place the sample extraction swab in the tube. Swirl the swab in the solution ten times. Leave the swab in the tube for one minute. Then remove the swab while pressing the swab head against the walls of the tube to extract as much liquid as possible from the swab. Discard the swab. Close the test tube and mix the contents by gently shaking the test tube.\u003cbr\u003e Remove the test from the sealed foil pouch and place the test on a clean, flat, dry surface. Add 3 drops of the mixed sample to the sample well of the test cassette.\u003cbr\u003e Wait 10 minutes and read the results. Do not read the results after 15 minutes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cu\u003eInterpretation of the results\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003e POSITIVE: Two colored lines appear, one in the test region (T) and one in the control region (C). You may have a Group A Streptococcus infection; consult your doctor.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e NEGATIVE: Only one colored line appears in the control region (C). No colored line appears in the test region (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 region (T) and no colored line appears in the control region (C). Failure of the control region (C) to appear indicates an error during the test procedure or deterioration of the test reagent. Repeat the test using a new kit. If the test still gives an invalid result, contact your 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 interchange 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 properly 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 specimens are handled and the test is performed.\u003cbr\u003e Wear protective gloves when handling the sample. Wash your hands thoroughly after the procedure.\u003cbr\u003e The device used, the swab, and the extraction tube must be treated as contagious waste and therefore disposed of in biohazard waste containers.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eConservation\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Store at 4-30°C.
