What is RAPID SELF TEST FOR SARS COV-2

The SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Test Cassette is a single-step chromatographic immunoassay in vitro. This test is designed for the rapid qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus antigens in anterior nasal (front of the nose) swab specimens from individuals suspected of having COVID-19 infection within the first seven days of symptom onset. The SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Test Cassette should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosing or ruling out SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Children under 14 must be supervised by an adult.

What is Sars Cov-2 coronavirus

The Sars Cov-2 virus is responsible for the so-called COVID-19, an acute and contagious respiratory disease.

According to current epidemiological studies, the incubation period of the Sars Cov-2 virus ranges from 1 to 14 days, usually from 3 to 7 days.

The main symptoms include fever, fatigue, loss of smell and/or taste and dry cough. In some cases, symptoms such as stuffy nose, runny nose, sore throat, body aches and diarrhea have also been noted.

How to do the Rapid Self Test for Sars Cov-2

1. Open the extraction solution, holding it away from the face and being careful not to spill the liquid.

2. Pour the entire contents of the extraction solution into the extraction tube avoiding contact between the two containers

3. Locate the soft tip of the swab inside the sealed pouch. Open the sachet on the opposite side of the soft tip and carefully remove the swab.

4. Carefully insert the swab into one nostril. The tip of the swab should be inserted at least 2.5cm deep from the edge of the nostril.

Roll the swab along the mucosa inside the nostril to ensure collection of both mucus and cells. Rotate the swab 3-4 times. Leave the swab in the nostril for about 10 seconds. Repeat the procedure with the same swab in the other nostril.

Warning: this operation can be unpleasant. Do not insert the tampon any further if you feel strong resistance or pain.

5. Insert the swab into the extraction tube. Now swirl the swab three to five times, and leave it in the solution for about 1 minute.

6. Squeeze the extraction tube with your fingers while pulling out the swab, trying to get as much solution as possible into the tube and discard the swab.

7. Place the cap with the dropper on the extraction tube.

8. Before performing the test, allow the kit components to reach room temperature. Open the bag and remove the test cassette. Place the test cassette on a flat, straight surface. Once opened, the test cassette should be used immediately.

9. Rotate the extraction tube and add 3 drops of the sample to the well by gently squeezing the extraction tube. Caution: Avoid bubble formation in the extraction tube.

10. The result is displayed after 15-20 minutes. Warning: after more than 20 minutes the result may be incorrect. The used product can be disposed of in normal household waste in accordance with applicable local regulations.
