  • Q

    What is the shelf life of the test strips?

    A

    Solution

    Each product has an expiration date. After opening, use the strips within 6 months.

  • Q

    I tested twice with a 1x2T kit—one was negative, the other positive.

    A

    Cause

    -

    Solution

    If the swab did not collect enough mucus or if the sample extraction was inaccurate, a negative result may occur. If any test shows a positive result, it should be considered positive.

  • Q

    A different brand showed a negative result, but this one shows positive.

    A

    Cause

    -

    Solution

    Results from other brands may be false negatives, and our product may show false positives. Please confirm results with a PCR test at a health center.

  • Q

    I tested negative a few days ago, but now it's positive. Is this accurate?

    A

    Cause

    -

    Solution

    The incubation period for the coronavirus is generally 4-6 days, but individual variations exist, and the viral load can also differ. If a positive result appears, please undergo a PCR test at a nearby screening clinic or test center.

  • Q

    The test line appeared, but the PCR result was negative.

    A

    Cause

    -

    Solution

    Self-testing kits are auxiliary (screening) tools and are less sensitive during asymptomatic periods. There may also be false positives due to cross-reactivity with other viruses or bacteria.

  • Q

    The T-line is strong but the C-line is faint. Is it positive?

    A

    Solution

    Both T-line and C-line should be visible to be considered a normal reaction, regardless of the intensity of the lines (both lines visible means positive).

  • Q

    The control line (C) did not appear.

    A

    Cause

    -

    Solution

    The result is invalid. Please review the instructions again and follow the proper test procedure. **If the sample was dropped into the result window instead of the sample input area, it may not appear.

  • Q

    A faint T-line appeared after 20 minutes. Is this considered positive?

    A

    Cause

    -

    Solution

    Results after 20 minutes are not reliable, but if symptoms or epidemiological associations exist, it is recommended to retest after 1-2 days.

  • Q

    The test line is faint.

    A

    Cause

    -

    Solution

    If a line appears within the reading time, it is considered positive (PCR test recommended). Be sure to follow the correct sample amount (4 drops) and reading time (15-20 minutes). **The incubation period of the coronavirus is generally 4-6 days, but individual variation is significant, and the amount of virus detected may differ. Therefore, it is recommended to retest after 1-2 days. If clinical symptoms are present or if there was close contact, and if a red line appears on the C area and a faint line appears on the T area, it should be considered positive, and a PCR test should be performed at a nearby screening clinic or test center.

  • Q

    What should I do if the result is negative?

    A

    Cause

    -

    Solution

    Even if the result is negative, if symptoms are present or if there is an epidemiological link, it is recommended to confirm the result with a PCR test.

  • Q

    What should I do if the result is positive?

    A

    Cause

    -

    Solution

    If the result is positive, immediately visit a medical facility for a PCR test. Dispose of the positive test items in the medical waste container at the screening clinic or medical facility.

  • Q

    How can I interpret the test result as positive or negative?

    A

    Cause

    -

    Solution

    First check the control line, then decide based on the presence of the test line (see the illustration in the manual).

  • Q

    How should I dispose of the used test components?

    A

    Cause

    -

    Solution

    Dispose of the swab and kit used in the enclosed waste bag along with regular trash. If the result is negative, the items can be discarded with regular waste. However, if symptoms are present or if you were in close contact with someone, please visit a nearby screening clinic or medical facility for proper disposal.

  • Q

    Can it be used regardless of age or symptoms? (Is there no age restriction if a guardian assists?)

    A

    Cause

    -

    Solution

    This product is for individuals aged 19 and older. If the user is under 19, they must follow the instructions with the help of a guardian. The test can be used regardless of clinical symptoms of COVID-19 (see the three conditions below), and the product has been confirmed to detect the virus in asymptomatic individuals.

    1) Contact with someone showing COVID-19 symptoms (family, cohabitant, or close contact) 2) Contact with family, friends, or acquaintances who have returned from abroad within the last 14 days 3) Visit to a location or facility where an outbreak of COVID-19 has occurred.

  • Q

    I bought a 1x2T kit and used one test. How should I store the remaining items?

    A

    Cause

    -

    Solution

    The storage temperature for the product is 2-30°C, so it can be stored at room temperature.

  • Q

    I spilled the buffer—can I mix it with water and use it?

    A

    Solution

    The sample extraction buffer contains components that help extract the coronavirus. Using any solution other than the enclosed sample extraction solution will lead to incorrect results.

  • Q

    Can I mix this kit’s cassette or buffer solution with those from another brand?

    A

    Solution

    Do not mix products. Use only the components included in the kit.

  • Q

    I added more than 4 drops of buffer. Is that a problem?

    A

    Solution

    For accurate results, it is recommended to use exactly 4 drops.

  • Q

    There are too many bubbles in the buffer.

    A

    Solution

    If there are too many bubbles, the sample amount (4 drops) may not be accurate, which could affect the results. When mixing the swab with the sample extraction solution (tube), gently rotate the swab to avoid creating bubbles.

  • Q

    I added the buffer solution but nothing is happening. (The liquid is not progressing properly.)

    A

    Solution

    If the sample is too viscous, the extraction may not proceed well. It is recommended to blow your nose and then collect the sample again (using a new test kit).
