- How to use
Use the rapid combo test for Influenza A/B, COVID-19, and RSV antigens to efficiently detect respiratory infections.
Indications for testing:
- High fever;
- Headache;
- Weakness;
- Chills;
- Runny nose;
- Pharyngitis;
- Contact with an infected person;
- Suspicion of COVID-19 infection.Influenza is a highly contagious viral respiratory infection transmitted through airborne droplets from coughing or sneezing. Influenza A viruses more commonly cause epidemics, while type B viruses usually lead to milder symptoms. Rapid diagnosis and treatment help control the spread of the disease.
RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) is an RNA virus transmitted through airborne droplets, more commonly seen in children. Symptoms in infants are severe and include fever, runny nose, pharyngitis, as well as bronchitis and pneumonia. In older children and adults, the main symptom of infection is inflammation of the upper respiratory tract. Possible complications from the infection include myocarditis, pleuritis, and otitis media.
COVID-19 is a disease transmitted via droplets and fecal-oral routes. It is caused by SARS-CoV-2 and is characterized by fever, weakness, dry cough, and difficulty breathing. It can lead to severe pneumonia, respiratory failure, and other complications, some of which can be life-threatening.
The test is intended to aid in the diagnosis of infections caused by Influenza A and B viruses, RSV, and/or SARS-CoV-2. It is designed for self-monitoring at home. The test can be conducted on individuals without infection symptoms if there are epidemiological reasons justifying suspicion of Influenza A/B, RSV, or COVID-19 infection.
If the test results are positive (regardless of the detected pathogen), the individual is likely infected with Influenza A/B, RSV, or COVID-19. If positive, take appropriate precautions and consult a physician. A person with a positive COVID-19 antigen test result should follow current guidelines and contact a general practitioner for further diagnosis.

Preparation: Prepare the individual components of the test kit.
Step 1: Remove the seal from the buffer bottle.
Step 2: Collecting a nasal swab: Insert the tip of the swab into the nostril to a depth of 2–4 cm until you feel resistance. Rotate it against the inner wall of the nostril. Using the same swab, repeat the procedure for the other nostril.
Step 3: Obtaining a sample for testing: Place the swab into the buffer tube. Press the swab against the bottom of the tube, rotate it several times, and while rotating, press the swab head against the bottom and sides of the tube. Squeeze the tip of the swab to remove it from the tube.
Step 4: Dropping the sample onto the cassette and reading the results: Remove the test cassette from the foil pouch, then add 3 drops of the sample into the S-window of the cassette. Wait and read the results at the 15-minute mark.
