Take your swab sample
Open the package and gently take out the swab.
Do not touch the fabric end of the swab.
Put the swab gently into one nostril, you may feel
a slight resistance (insert about 1.5cm or about half
an inch). Roll the swab 10 times slowly along the
inside of the nostril. Remove the swab and repeat
10 times in the other nostril.
Now put the fabric end of the swab into the
bottom of the extraction tube. Press the swab head
against the edge of the tube with force, while
rotating the swab around the tube for 10 seconds
to squeeze as much fluid out as possible.

Take out the swab while squeezing the tube and
fabric end of the swab. Place the swab back into
the wrapper and dispose of it at home in your
household rubbish bin.
Press the nozzle cap tightly on to the tube to avoid
any leaks.
Turn the tube upside down and lightly squeeze two
drops onto the specimen well.
Place the Rapid Test Strip on a flat surface for 30
minutes. Set a clock, timer, or watch and wait 30
minutes to read the results.
Do not read your results
until the 30 minute mark.
