With the advancement of medical treatment and the continuous efforts of medical researchers, a new coronavirus antigen self-test kit has been developed. People who meet the relevant testing indications can read the operating steps and precautions carefully. , operate it in a standardized manner, and the self-test can usually be completed in 1 minute.
1. Applicable people:
1. People with obvious symptoms: those who have obvious respiratory symptoms, such as dry throat, cough, wheezing, accompanied by fever symptoms, and symptoms 5 Persons within days;
2. Quarantine observers: including people under home quarantine observation, close contact and sub-close contact, entry quarantine observation, people in closed and controlled areas;
3 , Others: Persons who need antigen self-testing and feel unwell can also perform self-testing;
2. Operation steps:
1. Self-test preparation: Open It is necessary to wash your hands before packaging, and carefully check that the packaging and contents are intact, non-polluted, dry and moisture-free, and within the validity period before use;
2. Sample collection: read the instructions carefully after opening and take out Place the sample extraction tube and test card in a clean and clean place.
(1) People over 14 years old: You can take nasal swab sampling by yourself. For self-examination, first blow your nose with toilet paper, carefully unpack the swab, hold the plastic end of the disposable swab out, and avoid touching the swab head with your hands. Then tilt your head slightly, hold the tail of the nasal swab in one hand and stick it to one nostril, then slowly go back 1-1.5 cm along the bottom of the inferior nasal passage, then stick it to the nasal cavity and rotate it at least 4 times (the dwell time is no less than 15 seconds) , and then use the same swab to repeat the same operation on the other nasal cavity;
(2) People aged 2-14 years old: Other adults should take samples on their behalf. When sampling, the operation is the same as above.
3. Antigen detection: Insert the swab into the sample extraction tube, break the swab at the break point, tighten the colored cap and let it sit for 1 minute, then unscrew the transparent cap on the top of the extraction tube and insert it into the sampling hole. Add 4 drops of sample solution and observe the results after 10-15 minutes.
3. Test results:
1. Positive result: Both "C" and "T" on the test card show red or purple strips, and the color of the strip at "T" It can be deep or shallow, both are positive results;
2. Negative result: a red or purple strip is displayed at the "C" on the test card, but not at the "T";
3. Invalid result: No strip is displayed at the "C" on the test card, regardless of whether the "T" is displayed or not.
IV. Precautions:
Self-testers must strictly follow the instructions. If the test card, extraction tube and swab are accidentally contaminated, the test items must be replaced in time for self-testing. Positive results can be used for early triage and rapid management of suspected people. They can only be used as supplementary evidence to confirm the new coronavirus infection, and cannot be used as a basis for diagnosis. The nucleic acid test results will still prevail.
