INTENDED USE
RESZON® ABC Combo Test – FLU A+B & COVID-19 Ag (Nasal Swab) is an immunochromatographic assay designed for the in vitro qualitative detection and differentiation of influenza A, B and/or SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antigen in direct anterior nasal swab specimens from individuals suspected of respiratory viral infection consistent with Influenza or COVID-19 within the first seven days of symptom onset. The results obtained should not be the sole determinant for clinical decision. The test is intended for professional in vitro diagnostic use.

FAQs About Rapid Flu Test Kit in Malaysia
Before running the test
1. Can I use the test device if the pouch is damaged or there is broken/ incomplete seal?
No. Do not use the test device if the pouch is damaged or the seal is broken/ incomplete. Please use a new test.
2. Can I use the test device if there is no desiccant in the pouch?
No. Desiccant should come together with test device in the pouch. Please use a new test.
3. Can I use the kit beyond its expiry date?
No. User should not use the test beyond the expiry date shown on the test kit labelling.
While running the test
4. Can I use specimen that has been stored in refrigerator?
No. Only use fresh direct anterior nasal swab specimen from patient.
5. Can I use saliva or oral swab samples?
It is recommended to use only direct anterior nasal swab specimen from patient. Do not use other types of samples and please follow the IFU strictly.
6. Can I use a different brand's buffer if the kit buffer runs out?
No. Buffer from other brand cannot be used as a substitute for the buffer in this kit. Please contact your supplier for assistance.
The buffer provided in the kit are more than the actual volume needed to run a single test. User should check the IFU again and ensure that the tests are run following the correct assay procedure.
7. What if the sample is thick and viscous that prevents proper mixing with buffer?
Sometimes, samples from the patient can be thick and viscous. This may reduce the mixing efficiency of buffer with sample and cause flow impairment on the test strip, leading to possible inaccurate or invalid results. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid overly-thick mucus and re-collect new sample if necessary. If a viscous sample cannot be avoided, please mix it thoroughly in the buffer and try not to force the thick material through the dropper.
8. Why does the sample not flow up, or only flow halfway across the test window?
It may be due to insufficient specimen or buffer volume. Sufficient amount of specimen and buffer are important to ensure the sample to flow up properly. Please repeat the test with a new test device if invalid results observed.
When adding buffer, it is important to hold the buffer tube vertically, carefully press the tube to release full drop of buffer, one drop by one drop. The droplet volume of the buffer may be inconsistent if the buffer tube is not held vertically above the well “S”, or buffer being released
too fast.
9. Can we add more buffer if the sample is not flowing up?
No. The assay procedures need to be followed strictly. If no sample flow observed, check again the procedure and repeat the test with a new test device.
10. Can I read results before 20 minutes?
Results can be read from 10-20 minutes. Positive results may be visible as quick as 3 minutes. Negative result must be confirmed at 20 minutes.
11. Can I read results after 30 minutes?
No. Do not read results after 30 minutes. Results read after 30 minutes may lead to a false positive, false negative, or invalid result.
Interpretation of results
12. How do I interpret the test results?
If coloured bands appear at the control line (C) and test lines (CV19, B, and/or A), it indicates a positive result. Positive results indicate the presence of Influenza A, Influenza B and/or SARS-CoV-2 antigen in the specimen. Positive result should not be used as the sole criteria for the diagnosis of Influenza A, Influenza B and/or SARS-CoV-2 viral infection. Positives results should be confirmed by alternative testing method and clinical finding before positive determination is made.
The result is negative if only control line (C) is visible with no coloured line developed at positions CV19, A or B. This indicates that Influenza A, Influenza B and/or SARS-CoV-2 antigen has not been detected. Negative result does not preclude the possibility of exposure to or infection, particularly in the presence of clinical signs and symptoms consistent with influenza or COVID-19.
13. What should I do if the test result is negative but flu symptoms continue?
If the symptom persists, while the result is negative or non-reactive result, it is recommended to re-sample the patient few days later or test with an alternative testing method such as PCR.
After running the test
14. What should I do after running the test?
Place the used test device and buffer tube into the biohazard waste bag provided and seal the zipper completely. Observe established precautions against microbiological hazards throughout all procedures and follow the standard procedures for proper disposal of specimens and test devices.
Good Laboratory Practice
15. How is the good quality control for RESZON® ABC Combo Test – FLU A+B & COVID-19 Ag (Nasal Swab)?
Users should follow respective Good Laboratory Practice SOP of the labs. However, it is recommended to use external controls, positive and negative, to confirm the test procedure and to verify proper test performance, particularly under the following circumstances:
- New operator uses the kit, prior to performing testing of specimens.
- A new lot of test kits is used.
- A new shipment of test kits is used.
- The temperature used during storage of the kit falls outside of 4-30°C.
- The temperature used during storage of the kit falls outside of 2-30°C.
- To verify a higher-than-expected frequency of positive or negative results.
- To investigate the cause of repeated invalid results.
