Why a Combo Test?

It is practical to be able to test for the antigens of three pathogens – SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A and Influenza B – with a single sample. This way you do not need to do two separate tests, and you get an informational result in one step. It can be useful if you want quick information when you have respiratory symptoms.

Sample Collection

The sample is taken from the nostril, just as with the familiar nasal COVID-19 antigen self-tests; sampling is painless. The exact contents of the pack are listed on the box and in the instructions for use. Before performing the test, carefully read the Hungarian-language instructions that can be downloaded from the product page.

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.
