This at-home screening kit uses a nasal swab to check SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A/B antigens. The same nasal specimen is checked for SARS-CoV-2 and influenza antigens. Symptoms overlap, and a home antigen result is one piece of information alongside exposure history and clinical assessment. The result is intended to help you decide whether further clinical advice is needed; it is not a diagnosis on its own.

For people with symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat or fatigue who want to check for COVID-19 or flu. It is intended for people with respiratory symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat or tiredness who want to distinguish COVID-19 from influenza A or B. It may be especially useful when someone is vulnerable to complications or needs timely advice about symptoms. A clinician can advise if your symptoms are persistent, severe or outside the purpose of this home screen.

The manufacturer lists Test cassette, Sterile swab, Extraction buffer, and Instructions. Check the actual pack contents and expiry date before starting. You will need a timer and may need other materials as stated in the enclosed leaflet; components and packaging should be checked against that leaflet.

Read the enclosed instructions before opening the device. Take a nasal swab as directed, mix it with the extraction buffer and apply it to the cassette. Use a timer and read the result after 10 minutes. Use only the sample type and amounts specified for this particular kit, keep the work area clean and do not reuse any single-use component. The step-by-step product tab summarises the process.

Newfoundland states results in about 10 minutes. Start timing when the sample is applied or the device is activated, as the leaflet directs. Read only in the stated window: interpreting too soon or after the cut-off may give a misleading result. Check the control or validity guide first.

Read the labelled COVID-19 and influenza lines only within the time specified in the enclosed leaflet (the product advertises results in 10 minutes). A positive line for an infection suggests that antigen was detected; a control line must be present for validity. A negative test can miss early or low-level infection. Seek prompt advice for worsening symptoms or if at higher risk, and urgent help for breathing difficulty. Follow the leaflet’s exact result illustration, as positive and negative patterns are not the same for every self-test.

The product is advertised as over 98% for its intended use. This does not mean every individual result is certain: sample collection, timing, storage, expiry and how early a condition is tested can all affect performance. Follow the enclosed instructions and seek professional assessment when symptoms or risk remain.

A negative home result does not rule out every cause of your symptoms or concern. If the kit’s required control is absent, the colour comparison is unclear or the test was read outside its window, do not rely on it: repeat with a new kit as directed. Ask a clinician about ongoing symptoms or an unexpected result.

The cassette has separate labelled indicators for SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A/B antigens. Follow the enclosed diagram to identify which marker is detected and check the control. The viruses can cause similar symptoms, so an unclear, invalid or early negative result may require repeat testing or clinical advice.

Antigen levels may be too low early in illness or the swab may not contain enough material. A negative result does not rule out COVID-19, flu or another infection. Follow current public health advice and seek medical help if symptoms worsen, breathing becomes difficult or you are at higher risk.
