Sample collection
Following test cartridge identification and verification of the expiry date, the screen below will be displayed. For additional guidance on each step of the test
process, select the help function on the analyser screen or refer to the instructions for use insert supplied with the test kit.
Step 1: Ask the donor to remove the SoToxa Oral Fluid Collection Device from the packaging, ensuring they hold the plastic stem of the collection device, and then
place it in the mouth.
Step 2: The donor must actively swab the collection device around the gums, tongue and inside the cheek, until the sample presence indicator
starts to turn blue.
Step 3: Insert the collection device into the test cartridge (this should already be inserted into the analyser). Gently push the collection device all the way into the test
cartridge to the stop position.
Once the sample collection device has been inserted, the analyser should be kept in a horizontal plane remaining as still as possible throughout testing. If
the analyser is tilted beyond the acceptable range, this warning symbol will appear on the screen:
Correct the orientation of the analyser immediately to prevent disruption to the test. See section
2.8 Tilt sensor
, for more information about the tilt sensor.
