INTERPRETING THE TEST RESULT

Negative test result
If the quality control “C” line is red (even if faint), and the test “T” line is blank, then the test result is negative and you are unlikely to have COVID-19. Note: Negative results are presumptive should not be used as the sole basis for infection control decisions, particularly in the presence of clinical signs and symptoms consistent with COVID-19, or in those who have been in close contact with the virus. In these cases, it is recommended that the test is repeated after 1-2 days. In all cases, a definitive diagnosis must be made by a doctor and local health and safety control measures should always be adhered to.
Positive test result
If both the quality control “C” line and the test “T” line is red even if faint) then the test result is positive and you are most likely infected with COVID-19.  Note: Positive results require strict adherence to your local public health authority’s guidelines for suspected infections – including confirmatory PCR screening, self-isolation, and reporting to the applicable authority.
Invalid test result

If the quality control “C” line is blank, then the test is considered invalid irrespective of any red band on the “T” band.Note: Invalid results are represented by a complete absence of a visible “C” line. In this case, carefully read the “Instructions for Use” and repeat the test. If a repeated test result is invalid, then contact your local product supplier.
