Abbott – Panbio™ Rapid Antigen Test for COVID-19 Precautions

For in vitro diagnostic use only.
Please read the instructions before performing the test. Please follow all instructions for accurate results.
Do not eat or smoke when handling samples.
Wash hands thoroughly before and after testing.
In case of spills, clean them up thoroughly with an appropriate disinfectant.
Please place all specimens, cartridges, and potentially contaminated materials (ie, swabs, extraction tubes, test devices) in the bag provided.
Use only the fluid from the buffer bottle provided with the test kit. Use of other fluids may result in inaccurate results.
Keep the test kit out of the reach of children.
To prevent contamination, touch only the sides of the test device and make sure the tip of the swab touches only the nasal cavity and inside the extraction tube.
The swabs provided should only be used to collect nasal (middle turbinate) specimens.
Each test device, swab, blue tip cap, buffer bottle and bag are single-use. Do not reuse individual contents. The swab holder is reusable.
Do not dip the swab into buffer or other liquids before inserting it into the nasal cavity.
The included buffer bottle contains <0.1% sodium azide as a preservative, which may be toxic if ingested. If the buffer solution comes into contact with eyes, rinse with running water for at least 15 minutes. If stinging sensation persists, seek medical attention immediately.
If the test kit has been stored in the refrigerator, please let it sit at room temperature (15 to 30°C) for 30 minutes before use.
Do not use the test kit if the bag is damaged or the seal is broken.
The swab sample should be tested immediately after collection.

Abbott – Panbio™ Antigen Test Results

The test results are invalid, possibly because the test procedure was incorrect. Please wait 4 hours before repeating the test.

A positive test result means that proteins from the virus that causes COVID-19 were found in your nasal swab sample. You will most likely need to self-isolate at home to prevent the spread of COVID-19. A positive result does not exclude the possibility of co-infection with other pathogens. Please follow local social distancing guidelines to prevent the spread of the virus and contact your doctor or local health department immediately.

A negative test result means it is unlikely that you had COVID-19 at the time of the test. The test did not detect any antigens in your nasal sample, but the test can also give a false negative result. False negative test results can come from several factors:
• During infection, the amount of antigen in the swab sample may decrease over time.
• The test may come back negative before symptoms develop.
• Failure to perform the test as directed.
• Failure to properly collect, extract, or transport the specimen.
If symptoms persist, please test again after 1-2 days as the coronavirus may not be detected in the early stages of infection. We recommend that you continue to follow local self-isolation policies and consult your doctor.
