1
This guide is a reference for using the SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Self Test Nasal. It is essential that you read the Instructions for Use for patients before using this test. For best performance, it is recommended this test be used within 7 days post-onset of symptoms. Warning! Wash your hands with soap and water or use a hand sanitizer before and after performing the test. Keep the swab clean. Avoid touching the tip of the swab and ensure that it does not come into contact with any surfaces prior to use. Use the test kit only once. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. In case of accidental contact, rinse well in order to avoid skin irritations. In case of concerns, consult your doctor. In the event of a spillage, ensure that it is cleaned thoroughly using a suitable disinfectant. Do not use any of the test components in the body with the exception of the swab included in the kit. Do not swallow any of the components. Use the test immediately after opening the pouch (if not used immediately, the test must be used within 1 hour after opening). Dispose of the kit components in your household waste (not recycling) or according to your local guidelines. Remaining liquid in the tube should not be released into the drainage system or water bodies. Important safety information 1. Open the foil pouch 2 by tearing along the tear- line and take out one of the tubes with liquid and one nozzle cap and place them on the table. 2. Open the seal of the tube carefully without spilling the liquid inside the tube. Place the tube in the tube holder. 2 Collecting and preparing nasal sample 3. Blow your nose once using a tissue. 4. Remove the swab from the packaging. Ensure that you only touch the handle of the swab and not the soft pad at the tip. 5. Slightly tilt your head backwards. 6. Insert the swab with the soft pad at the front into your left nostril. Slowly slide the swab approx. 2 cm forward (parallel to the roof of your mouth - not upwards) until you encounter resistance. Do not apply any pressure. 7. Rotate the swab 4 times (for a total of approx. 15 seconds) against the lining of the nasal wall before removing it from the nostril. 8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 in your right nostril using the same swab. Note: Samples must be collected from both nostrils using the same swab. Components of the test kit 1 Preparing for a test 3.

If you suspect that you have an infection (i.e., if you have pro- longed symptoms or if your symptoms are worsening), contact your doctor/primary care physician. You may have another infection, or your test result may be false. You may repeat the test after 1–2 days, as COVID-19 cannot be detected with complete accuracy during all stages of an infection.
