TEST PROCEDURE
Nasal and Nasopharyngeal Swab Test Procedure
NOTES:
• Reagents, specimens and devices must be at room temperature (15–30 °C) prior to testing.
• The CLIA-waived BD Veritor System for Rapid Detection of Flu A+B kit is only intended for nasal and nasopharyngeal swab
specimens that are collected and tested directly (i.e., dry swabs that have NOT been placed in transport media). The kit
includes a pre-diluted process reagent in a ready to use "unitized" tube. This CLIA-waived kit IS NOT INTENDED for testing
liquid samples such as wash or aspirate samples or swabs in transport media as results can be compromised by over dilution.
Prepare for Testing
The following steps assume that users of a BD Veritor Plus Analyzer have chosen and set all configuration options, and
that the Analyzer is ready to use. To choose or change these settings, see the BD Veritor Plus Analyzer Instructions for
Use, section 4.7. A printer is not necessary to display results. However, if your facility has chosen to connect the Analyzer
to a printer, check that the printer is plugged into a power source, paper supply is adequate and any necessary network
connections are enabled before testing.
Step 1: For each patient specimen:
• Remove one RV Reagent D tube/tip and one BD Veritor System Flu A+B device from
its foil pouch immediately before testing.
• Label with patient's name or ID number.
• Place the labeled RV Reagent D tube(s) in the designated area of the tube rack.
Prepare the Sample
Step 2:
• Remove and discard the cap from the RV Reagent D tube corresponding to the
sample to be tested.
Step 3:
• Insert the patient sample swab all the way into the RV Reagent D tube and swirl it
against the inside wall three (3) times.
