Step 6A: Adding the specimen
• Invert the RV Reagent D tube and hold the tube vertically (approximately one
inch above the labeled BD Veritor System Flu A+B device sample well).
• Gently squeeze the ridged body of the tube, dispensing three (3) drops of the
processed specimen into the sample well of a labeled BD Veritor System Flu
A+B device.
NOTE: Squeezing the tube too close to the tip may cause leakage.
Step 7A: Timing development
• After adding the sample, allow the test to run for 10 minutes before inserting into the
BD Veritor Instrument.
• CAUTION: incorrect results may occur if development time is less than 10 minutes.
Some lines may appear on the device sooner. Do not read device visually.
• NOTE: If running test under laminar flow hood or in an area with heavy ventilation, cover
test device to avoid inconsistent flow.
Step 8A: Using the BD Veritor Instrument
• During incubation time, turn the BD Veritor Instrument on by pressing the
power button once.
• Insert assay device when the 10-minute assay development time is complete.
Follow the on-screen prompt to complete the procedure.
• The status of the assay analysis process appears in the display window,
followed by the result display.
Step 9A: Record the Result
• When analysis is complete, the test result appears in the display window. Record the result and discard the test
device appropriately..
ATTENTION: TEST Results are NOT maintained in the display window when the device is removed or if the
Analyzer is left unattended for more than 15 minutes (60 minutes if AC power adapter is connected).
