Strep A infections originate from group A streptococcal bacterium that can initiate a variety of health problems. Strep A can manifest itself as a mild skin infection or sore throat to severe, life-threatening conditions such as toxic shock syndrome and necrotizing fasciitis, commonly known as flesh eating disease. Nearly everyone is familiar with strep throat, which is the most common form of the disease. Health experts estimate that more than 10 million mild infections (throat and skin) like these occur every year.

Instructions

Just before collecting the throat swab specimen--add 4 drops of Reagent A (yellow) and 4 drops of Reagent B to the extraction tube.

Collect throat swab specimen using the sterile rayon swabs supplied with this kit.

Immediately put the swab into the tube Rotate the swab vigorously in the extraction solution to extract specimen thoroughly.

Let stand for 1-2 minutes. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the swab by pressing the swab firmly against the side of the tube with two fingers.

Take out the Strep A test strip Insert the Strep A test strip into the tube of extracted solution and allow the migration to begin.

Read the results in 5 minutes--after a distinct colored line has formed in the reading area--but no later than 10 minutes after the test strip has been dipped in the extraction solution.

All positive results should be confirmed by a laboratory.

Additional Information

Results

Positive (+): Two reddish-purple colored lines--both a Control line (C) and Test line (T) area--indicate that Group A Streptococcal antigen has been detected

Negative (-): Only one colored line in the Control line area--and no distinct colored line in the Test line area indicates that the specimen does not contain detectable levels of Group A Streptococcal antigen and is considered a presumptive negative. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that presumptive negative results be confirmed by culture Invalid: A distinct colored line in the Control line (C) area should always appear.

The test is invalid if no Control line forms in 5 minutes. When the test shows an invalid result--the test should be considered invalid and should be repeated with a new test strip and a new swab sample.
