• Find the pre-filled buffer tube, remove it out of the pouch and tap it vertically on the horizontal surface, to make sure the extraction buffer settles at the bottom of the tube
• Unscrew the cap and hold the tube in your hand. Do not spill the content of the tube

Step 1 (Sampling with a nasal swab):

• Open the swab package from the tail end and take the swab out (Do not touch the swab head)
• Using the sterile swab provided in the kit, carefully insert the swab into one nostril. The swab tip should be inserted up to 2-4cm or until resistance is met
• Roll the swab 5 times inside the nostril to ensure that cells are collected
• Using the same swab, repeat this process for the other nostril to ensure that an adequate sample is collected from both the nasal cavities
• Withdraw the swab from the nasal cavity. The specimen is now ready for testing using the extraction buffer provided in the test kit

Step 2:

• Take the nasal swab and dip in the pre-filled extraction tube. Pinch the tube at the bottom and swirl the nasal swab 10 times ensuring the swab is immersed well in the extraction buffer
• Find the breakpoint of the swab. Break the swab at the breakpoint. Discard the remainder of the swab. Mix it well

Step 3:

• Do not leave the test device unused once opened for more than 5 minutes. Add 2 full drops of extracted antigen buffer mixture into the sample well of the test device, by pressing the tube and then wait for 10-15min for the results to appear
• Read the results within 20 minutes. Strong positive results can be reported within 10-15 minutes. Results that appear after 20 minutes are not valid (Phone will give you the alarm to capture the test results)

Step 4:

• Take the test device and click a picture (Wait for the app to analyze and display your COVID-19 test results)
• The swab is inserted in the lysis buffer which destroys the COVID-19/respiratory viruses. This tube (with swab head inside), is to be put inside the waste disposal bag and this bag can be thrown in the household waste

Results(Positive/Negative):

• If both the quality control line “C” and the detection line appear, the novel coronavirus antigen has been detected and the result is negative for the antigen. (Look very closely, as the bottom line can be very faint. Any pink/purple line visible indicates a positive result)
• If there is only a quality control line “C” and no test line “T”, it indicates that the result is negative

Q. Is this test authorized for home use?
This test is authorized for non-prescription home use with self-collected nasal swab specimens from individuals aged 18 years and older or with adult-collected nasal swab samples from individuals aged 2 years or older

Q. How do you know when the result is positive?
If both Control Line C and the Test Line T appear in the cartridge, the presence of novel coronavirus antigen is confirmed and the result is positive. This takes up to 10-15 minutes for results to appear

Q. What do positive results indicate?
Positive results indicate the presence of viral antigens. Individuals who test positive with CoviSelf COVID-19 Antigen Test should self-isolate and seek to consult their physician or healthcare provider for further action
