Get the convenience of Flowflex!
The Flowflex COVID-19 Antigen Home Test is a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay intended for the qualitative detection of the nucleocapsid protein antigen from SARS-CoV-2 in anterior nasal swab specimens directly from individuals within 7 days of symptom onset or without symptoms or other epidemiological reasons to suspect COVID-19 infection.
This test is authorized for non-prescription home use with self-collected anterior nasal swab specimens directly from individuals aged 14 years and older or with adult-collected anterior nasal samples directly from individuals aged 2 years or older.
The Flowflex COVID-19 Antigen Home Test does not differentiate between SARSCoV and SARS-CoV-2.
Directions
See package insert for detailed instructions and result interpretation.
- Remove the foil from the top of the extraction buffer tube.
- Punch through the perforated circle on the kit box to form a tube holder. Place the tube in the tube holder. For 25 test quantity kit box, a tube holder is provided.
- Open the swab packaging at the stick end, not the swab end. Do not touch the swab head.
- Gently insert the entire absorbent tip of the swab head into 1 nostril (½ to ¾ of an inch). With children, the maximum depth of insertion into the nostril may be less than ¾ of an inch, and you may need to have a second person to hold the child’s head while swabbing. Note: A false negative result may occur if the nasal swab specimen is not properly collected.
- Firmly rub the swab in a circular motion around the inside wall of the nostril 5 times. Take approximately 15 seconds to collect the specimen. Be sure to collect any nasal drainage that may be present onto the swab. Repeat this in the other nostril.
- Remove the swab from the nostril and immediately place into the extraction buffer tube. Note: Test samples immediately after collection, and no more than one hour after the swab is added to the reagent solution, if stored at room temperature.
- Immediately place the swab into the tube and swirl for 30 seconds. Note: A false negative result may occur if the swab is not swirled at least 30 seconds.
- Rotate the swab 5 times while squeezing the tube. Note: A false negative result may occur if the swab is not rotated five times.
- Remove the swab while squeezing the tube. Dispose of the swab in the trash.
- Attach the dropper tip firmly onto the tube. Mix thoroughly by swirling or flicking the bottom of the tube.
- Gently squeeze the tube and dispense 4 drops of solution into the Sample Well. Dispose the tube in the trash. Note: A false negative or invalid result may occur if less than 4 drops of fluid are added to the Sample Well.
- Set the timer for 15 minutes. The result should be read at 15 minutes. Do not read after 30 minutes. Dispose of the test cassette in the trash. Note: A false negative or false positive result may occur if the test result is read before 15 minutes or after 30 minutes.
