Open the package containing the sterile swab.

Swab around the cervical area inside the vagina. Rotate the swab for even coverage.

Open the provided extraction tube.

Add the swab into the extraction tube, vigorously mix the solution by rotating the swab forcefully against the side of the tube at least 10 times (while submerged).

Best results are obtained when the specimen is vigorously mixed in the solution.

Allow the swab to soak in the reaction buffer for 1 minute prior to the next step.

Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the swab by pinching the slide of the flexible extraction tube as the swab is removed.

At least 1/2 of the reaction buffer solution must remain in the tube for adequate capillary migration to occur.

Discard the swab.

Fit the dropper tip on top of the extraction tube.

Place the test cassette on a clean and evel surface. To obtain a best result, the assay should be performed within one hour.

Add 3 drops of the solution to the sample well(s) on the test cassette. Please note avoid trapping air bubbles in the specimen well (S) and do not drop any solution in observation window.

Wait for the colored line(s) to appear.

The result should be read at 15 minutes, do not interpret the results after 20 minutes.

Both the C band and the T band are visible, regardless of whether the T band is strong or faint.

Only a clear C band is visible.

No colored C band appears, regardless of whether the T band is visible.

A retest is recommended.
