It helps to quickly know if the sore throat is caused by Group A Streptococcus or by other germs (usually viruses) that do not require antibiotic treatment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eHow to use\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Place the contents of the box on a clean, dry, flat surface (e.g. table).\u003cbr\u003e Wash your hands thoroughly. Use soap and warm water.\u003cbr\u003e Place the extraction tube into a hole in the workstation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cu\u003eSample collection\u003c\/u\u003e \u003cbr\u003eCollect a throat sample using the swab and tongue depressor provided. Open the package containing the tongue depressor and place it nearby. Open the swab package and remove it by grasping the plastic handle.\u003cbr\u003e Avoid touching the absorbent cotton tip of the swab with your hands.\u003cbr\u003e Stand in front of a mirror, tilt your head back and open your mouth as wide as possible. Using the tongue depressor in one hand, depress your tongue and with the other hand brush the soft cotton ball over the back of your throat, around your tonsils and any red, sore areas (uvula, soft palate) to collect the sample.\u003cbr\u003e Of course, you can ask for help in collecting samples.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cu\u003eRunning the test procedure\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003e After collecting the throat sample, insert the absorbent cotton tip of the swab into the extraction tube located on the workstation. \u003cbr\u003eFirst open the dropper bottle with the blue cap (unscrew only the blue cap and leave the white cap tightly closed) containing the extraction solution 1, dispense 6 drops into the tube and close the bottle. Then open the dropper bottle with the green cap (screw only the green cap and leave the white cap tightly closed) containing the extraction solution 2, dispense 6 drops into the tube and close the bottle. \u003cbr\u003eHold the swab by the plastic handle and carefully rotate it against the wall of the tube (approximately 10 times) to mix the solution. Leave the swab in the tube to incubate for a minimum of 2 minutes and a maximum of 5 minutes. At the end of the incubation time, remove the tube (with the swab and liquid extracts still in the tube) and, using your thumb and forefinger, press the walls of the tube to squeeze the cotton tip of the swab to collect as much liquid as possible (this process continues when removing the swab from the tube). Dispose of the swab in a suitable waste container and place the tube with the extracted solution in a hole in the workstation.\u003cbr\u003e Open the protective foil pouch, hold the strip by the blue end and insert it into the tube containing the extracts. Leave it inside the tube for 5 minutes (minimum) to 10 minutes (maximum) for the reaction to occur. \u003cbr\u003eRead the result immediately after the reaction time has elapsed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cu\u003eInterpretation of results\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cbr\u003e POSITIVE: Two (2) red\/purple lines appear on the strip. The color intensity of the lines may vary. This result is positive and means that Streptococcus A has been found in the sample and that you should consult a doctor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e NEGATIVE: Only one (1) red line (control line) appears near the blue end of the strip. This result is negative and means that Streptococcus A was not found in the specimen or was not present in sufficient concentration to be detected.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e INVALID: If there is no visible red line near the blue end of the strip (control line), the test is invalid and must be repeated using a new test and a new sample.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eWarnings\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This test is intended for in vitro diagnostic use.\u003cbr\u003e For external use only. Do not ingest. \u003cbr\u003eRead the instructions carefully before performing the test. The test is interpretable only if the instructions are scrupulously followed. Strictly follow the indicated reaction time, swab sample collection and extraction steps.\u003cbr\u003e Do not use after the expiration date printed on the label and protective pouch or if this pouch is damaged.\u003cbr\u003e Do not reuse the STREPTOCOCCUS A TEST.\u003cbr\u003e Keep out of reach of children.\u003cbr\u003e After use, all components can be thrown into a garbage bin.\u003cbr\u003e Not suitable for children under 2 years.\u003cbr\u003e If liquid comes into contact with eyes, skin or other mucous membranes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and contact a doctor.\u003cbr\u003e Do not swallow the liquid extract and other parts of the box. If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and take the remaining parts of the box with the instructions for use and packaging.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eConservation\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eStore between 4°C and 30°C.
