Description

The H1N1 Antigen Rapid Test (Swab) is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of influenza type A (H1N1) antigen in nasopharyngeal swab or throat swab specimens.

Results are for the detection of Influenza type A (H1N1) Antigen. An antigen is generally detectable in upper respiratory specimens during the acute phase of infection. Positive results do not rule out bacterial infection or co-infection with other viruses. The agent detected may not be the definite cause of disease. Negative results do not preclude Influenza type A (H1N1) infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or patient management decisions.
