What is EUA? How does that affect this test?
In the USA, this product has not been FDA cleared or approved, but has been authorized by FDA under an Emergency Use Authorization. This product has been authorized only for the detection of proteins from SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, and influenza B, not for any other viruses or pathogens. The emergency use of this product is only authorized for the duration of the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of emergency use of in vitro diagnostics for detection and/or diagnosis of COVID-19 under Section 564(b)(1) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360bbb-3(b)(1), unless the declaration is terminated or authorization is revoked sooner.
Does the Flowflex Plus COVID-19 and Flu A/B Home Test work for new variants?
We are continuously monitoring the arrival of new COVID-19 variants, and we promptly evaluate our test’s performance against any new variants, as clinical samples containing the new variants become available to us. This process takes time, but as soon as the results are in, we issue a Press Release on our website to keep consumers informed in a timely manner.
Will this test hurt?
No, the nasal swab is not sharp, and it should not hurt. Sometimes the swab can feel slightly uncomfortable. If you feel pain, please stop the test and seek advice from your healthcare provider.
Is this test reusable?
No, the Flowflex Plus COVID-19 and Flu A/B Home Test is a single use test and cannot be reused.
Are there any limitations as to who can use this test?
Do not use this test on children under two years of age. Do not use this test on anyone who is prone to nosebleeds or has had facial injuries or head injuries/surgery in the past six months.
How deep should I insert the swab into my nose?
Insert the swab ½ to ¾ inches inside your nostril. With children, the maximum depth of insertion into the nostril may be less than ¾ of an inch, and you may need to have a second person hold the child’s head while swabbing. Note: A false-negative result may occur if the nasal swab specimen is not properly collected.
Should I swab my left or right nostril?
Please use the swab to collect specimen from both of your nostrils to ensure sufficient sample collection to generate an accurate result.
For how long do I have to swab my nostril?
Firmly rub the swab in a circular motion around the inside wall of the nostril 5 times. Take approximately 15 seconds to collect the specimen. Be sure to collect any nasal drainage that may be present onto the swab. Repeat this in the other nostril.
What does it mean to have an invalid result?
If the Control (Ctl) line is not visible, even if any other line is visible in the result window, the test is not valid. Re-test with a new swab and a new test cassette.
How accurate is this test?
Clinical studies have shown that antigen tests more accurately determine whether you are infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 when taken multiple times across several days. Repeat testing improves test accuracy. This serial testing approach is recommended to minimize the risk of incorrect results.
