Test procedure

• When you are ready to begin testing, open the sealed pouch by tearing along the notch
• Remove the test from the pouch
• Draw 0.2mL (about 4 drops) sample into the pipette, and dispense it into the sample well on the cassette
• Wait 10-20 minutes and read result, do not read results after 30 minutes

Interpretation of results:

• Negative: only one colored band appears on the control (c) region
• No apparent band on the test (t) region
• Positive: in addition to a pink colored control (c) band, a distinct pink colored band will also appear in the test (t) region
• Please consult your physician to perform a much more detailed exam
• Invalid: a total absence of color in both regions is an indication of procedure error and/or the test reagent has been deteriorated

Storage and stability

• The test kit should be stored at room temperature (18 to 30°C) in the sealed pouch to the date of expiration
• The test kits should be kept away from direct sunlight, moisture and heat

Precautions:

• For in vitro diagnostic use only
• Do not use test kit beyond expiry date
• The test device should not be reused
• For samples that test positive by the one step anti-HIV test, a more specific confirmatory test should be done. a clinical evaluation of the patient’s situation and history should also be made before a final diagnosis is established
• The use of a rapid test is not sufficient to diagnose aids even if antibodies are present
• Also, a negative result does not preclude the possibility of infection
