Using the Clinitest Rapid COVID-19 Antigen Self-Test
Collect the nasal swab sample with the enclosed cotton swab. Prepare the work station by placing the extraction tube upright and adding about 10 drops of buffer solution into it. Then dip the cotton swab with the extracted specimen into the filled tube. Turn the swab at least 6 times and let it rest for one minute. Then squeeze the tube to wet the cotton swab completely. After that, it can be removed. Put 4 drops of the solution into the sample well of the test cassette. Now wait 15 minutes and then read the test result off.
This test is approved according to 11, paragraph 1 of the German Medical Devices Act (MPG) for self-administration by laypersons (self-test).
