Antigen Rapid Test Kit Self Test Influenza Antigen Flu A B Rapid Test
Description
Influenza is a highly contagious acute viral infection of the respiratory tract. It is a communicable disease easily transmitted from person to person through aerosol droplets excreted when sneezing and coughing. Common symptoms include high fever, chills, headache, cough, sore throat, and malaise. The type A influenza virus is more prevalent and is the primary pathogen associated with serious epidemics. The type B virus causes a disease that is generally not as severe as that caused by the type A virus.
An accurate diagnosis of influenza based on clinical symptoms is difficult because the initial symptoms of influenza are similar to those of numerous other illnesses. Therefore, it can be confirmed only by laboratory diagnostic testing. Early differential diagnosis of influenza type A or type B can allow for proper treatment with appropriate antiviral therapy while reducing the incidence of inappropriate treatment with antibiotics. Early diagnosis and treatment are of particular value in a clinical setting where an accurate diagnosis can assist the healthcare professional with the management of influenza patients who are at risk for complications. FLU A&B Antigen Test kit(Colloidal Gold Method) is a rapid immunoassay to be used as an aid for the differential diagnosis of influenza type A and type B.

Warning and precautions
1. Do not use the test kit if the pouch is damaged or the seal is broken.
2. Do not use this kit beyond the expiration date printed on the package label.
3. To avoid erroneous results, specimens must be processed as indicated in the assay procedure section.

5. Specific training or guidance is recommended if operators are inexperienced in specimen collection and handling. Wear protective clothing such as a lab coat, disposable gloves, and eye protection when specimen collection and analysis. Pathogenic microorganisms, including hepatitis virus and human immunodeficiency virus, may be present in clinical specimens.
6. If infection with a novel influenza A virus is suspected based on current clinical and epidemiological screening criteria recommended by public health authorities, specimens should be collected with appropriate infection control precautions for novel virulent influenza viruses and sent to state or local health departments for testing. A viral culture should not be attempted in these cases unless a BSL 3+ facility is available to receive culture specimens.
