How many times can I test?

These tests should be considered as a status check only to identify potential traces of coronavirus. Tests are suggested to be carried out every 14 days, tests can be taken every day.

How long does the test take?

Read the results at 15 minutes after completing the test procedure. Do not leave and read later.

Can I collect the specimen and test at a later time?

No, these tests are for immediate use and should not be used with old samples.

The line is very faint, is this positive?

Any line indicator against double lines, however faint, should be considered a positive result. If the control line (C) is not visible within the result window after performing the test, the result is considered invalid. Some causes of invalid results are because of not following the directions correctly or the test may have deteriorated beyond the expiration date. It is recommended that the specimen be re-tested using a new test.
