Operation steps 1, first wash your hands or quick hand sanitization. 2, open the box: antigen self-test kits generally contain instructions, test cards, swabs, sample extracts, sample extraction tubes. Read the instructions before use, there may be subtle differences in the operation of different brands.
3. First, open the sample extraction solution and pour it all into the sample extraction tube.4. Open the test card package and take out the test card. Until the test results come out, it is best not to touch the test card again, so as not to contaminate it and affect the test results.5. If there is a lot of secretion in the nasal cavity, you can blow your nose before the test.6. Remove the swab, and be careful not to touch the head of the swab.7. With your head lifted up backward, slowly push the swab along the inner wall of the nose for 1-1.5 centimeters until the head of the swab is out of sight, rotate it for 4 times, and leave it on for 15 seconds, mainly for the purpose of increase the contact surface and the volume sampled during sampling. The same swab is then placed in the other nostril for sampling, also rotated 4 times for 15 seconds.8. Place the swab into the sample extraction tube, the swab head is immersed into the extraction solution and rotated for 30 seconds, then the swab head is squeezed 5 times.9. The swab is then placed into the original bag to avoid contaminating the surroundings.10. Place the cap of the sample extraction tube on the sample extraction tube.11. Flip the tube over, and apply 3 drops of extraction solution to the test card from the mouth of the cap. Extraction solution onto the test card. Strictly follow the instructions, not enough drops, too many drops may cause "false negatives".12. The result can be judged after 10 to 15 minutes (different brands vary). If a red band is shown at C and T (i.e., "two bars"), the test is positive; if a red band is shown at C, the test is negative (i.e., "one bar"); if no red band is shown at C, the test is invalid and needs to be retested.13. The results will not be valid for more than 30 minutes (varies by brand). Positive antigen test regardless of whether there are respiratory, fever and other symptoms, residents should immediately report to their communities (villages and towns), the community (villages and towns) to contact the Emergency Medical Center, in accordance with the guidelines for the transfer of people related to the new Crown Pneumonia outbreak, the residents will be transferred to the medical institutions set up outpatient fever clinic, nucleic acid testing. Residents with negative antigen test and no symptoms can be closely observed, and antigen test or nucleic acid test can be performed when needed; residents with symptoms are recommended to go to medical institutions with fever clinics as soon as possible for medical consultation and nucleic acid test; if it is inconvenient to go to medical institutions for medical consultation, they should be self-isolated at home, avoiding going out, and performing antigen self-test once a day for 5 consecutive days. How to dispose of the used-up self-test reagents? Isolated observation personnel test results regardless of negative or positive, all used sampling swabs, sampling tubes, test cards, etc. into a sealed bag, by the management personnel with reference to medical waste or according to the procedures for disposal. Negative test results for community residents: all post-use nasal swabs, sampling tubes, test cards, etc. are placed in sealed bags and then disposed of as general waste. Positive test results: in the transfer of personnel together with the medical institutions in accordance with the treatment of medical waste.
