The 2San™ SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza A+B Antigen Combo Rapid Test is a single-use test kit intended to detect the SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A and Influenza B virus that causes COVID-19 and/or Influenza with self-collected nasal swab specimen. The test is intended for use in symptomatic/asymptomatic individuals who are suspected of being infected with COVID-19 and/or Influenza A+B. Results are for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid protein, Influenza A and Influenza B nucleoproteins antigens.
An antigen is generally detectable in upper respiratory specimens during the acute phase of infection. Positive results indicate the presence of viral antigens, but clinical correlation with patient history and other diagnostic information is necessary to determine infection status. Positive results are indicative of the presence of SARS-CoV-2 and/or Influenza A+B. Individuals who test positive should self-isolate and seek additional care from their healthcare provider. Positive results do not rule out bacterial infection or co-infection with other viruses. Negative results do not preclude SARS-CoV-2 and/or Influenza A+B infection. Individuals who test negative and continue to experience COVID-like or flu-like symptoms should seek follow up care from their healthcare provider.
Procedure
Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds before and after the test.
If soap and water are not available, use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
Remove the cover of the tube with extraction buffer and place the tube in the tube holder in the box.
Nasal swab Specimen Collection
Remove the sterile swab from the pouch. Do not touch the tip of the swab.
Insert the swab into your nostril until you feel slight resistance (Approx. 2cm up your nose).
Slowly twist the swab, rubbing it along the insides of your nostril for 5–10 times against the nasal wall.
(Illustration: x5 rotations in one nostril, x5 in the other)
Note:
This may feel uncomfortable. Do not insert the swab any deeper if you feel strong resistance or pain.
When the nasal mucosa is damaged or bleeding, nasal swab collection is not recommended.
If you are swabbing others, please wear a face mask. With children, you may need to insert the swab so far into the nostril. For very young children, you may need another person to steady the child’s head while swabbing.
Gently remove the swab.
Using the same swab, repeat step 2 in your other nostril.
