What Does a Qualitative Result Mean?

The test indicates whether the antigen of the bacterium can be detected in the sample; it does not provide quantitative data. It is for in vitro diagnostic use only, which means the sample is examined outside the body. Always discuss the result with your doctor.

Who Is It For?

For those who want to get information discreetly as a first step before seeing a doctor, or whose doctor has recommended this kind of test. Collecting the sample at home is convenient and requires no appointment. It is a good idea to write down the result and mention it during your medical consultation.

Why a Home Rapid Test?

The test can be done discreetly in your own home, without an appointment, and gives a result within minutes. This makes it easier to decide whether you should see a doctor, and you can take the result with you to the consultation. It is especially useful if you find it hard to make time for an appointment at a doctor's office or are looking for a more discreet option.

Use and Storage

Please follow the instructions for use in the package exactly, especially the steps on sample collection and reading time, as following them affects the result. Read the instructions all the way through before collecting the sample, and have a clock or timer ready so you keep to the reading time. Keep the test in its original, unopened packaging until use.

Important Information

The rapid test gives a preliminary, informational result: it does not provide a diagnosis and does not replace a medical examination. If the result is positive or uncertain, or if your symptoms persist despite a negative result, see a doctor, who will decide on any further tests.
