Influenza A/B Rapid Test

Influenza A/B Rapid Test

Intended Use

Influenza A/B Rapid Test is intended for the in vitro qualitative detection and differentiation of influenza A and influenza B nucleoprotein antigens directly from nasal swab samples of individuals with signs and symptoms of respiratory infection. For professional and laboratory use only.

The test is intended for use as an aid in the differential diagnosis of acute influenza A and B viral infections. Negative test results are presumptive and should be confirmed by viral culture or molecular assay. Negative results do not ruleout infection with influenzaorother pathogens. Positive results do not rule out co-infection with other respiratory pathogens. Test results should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other patient management decisions.

Interpretation of Results

Positive (+): The presence of influenza virus type A and/or type B antigens is indicated when the control line (C) appears together with test line (A) and/or test line (B). Any faint line in the test line (A) and/or (B) should be considered positive.

Note: Positive results indicate the very likely infected. Contact your doctor or the local health department immediately. Follow the local guidelines for self-isolation and confirmed by a molecular testing method.

Negative (-): Only the control line (C) appeared, and not the test lines (A) or (B), indicating that no influenza virus type A or type B antigens were detected.

Note: Negative results indicate the unlikely infected influenza virus type A and type B. Continue to follow all applicable rules and protective measures when contacting with others. There may be an infection even if the test is negative. If it is suspected, repeat the test after 1-2 days or confirmed by a molecular testing method.

Invalid: If the control line (C) fails to appear, the test result is invalid. Not enough sample volume or incorrect operation are the likely reasons for an invalid result. Read the instructions for use again and test with a new reagent. If the same situation reappears, please stop using this lot of reagents.
