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 BD Veritor Plus 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 – Prepare for testing
• Immediately before testing, for each control swab or patient specimen, take the
bottle of GAS Reagent 1 and one GAS Reagent 2 tube/tip and one BD Veritor
Group A Strep device from its foil pouch.
• Label one BD Veritor System device and one GAS Reagent 2 tube for each
control or specimen to be tested.
• Place the labeled GAS Reagent 2 tube(s) in the designated area of the
workstation or rack.
Prepare the Sample
Step 2
• Remove the cap from the GAS Reagent 2 tube corresponding to the sample to
be tested.
• Remove the cap from the GAS Reagent 1 bottle and add 3 drops from the
GAS Reagent 1 bottle to the GAS Reagent 2 tube. GAS Reagent 2 contains a
pH sensitive dye which turns from blue to yellow to confirm the addition of GAS
Reagent 1. A uniform yellow color indicates complete mixing of the reagent. If
any blue color remains, mix the solution by gently swirling the tube.
Step 3
• Insert the specimen or control swab and incubate for 1–2 minutes, then
plunge the swab up and down for a minimum of 15 seconds, scrubbing
inside the tube with the swab. Avoid splashing.
Step 4
• Remove the swab while squeezing the sides of the tube to extract the liquid.
Step 5
• Snap fit the tip onto the tube containing the processed specimen or control
(threading/twisting not required).
• Note: Do not use tips from any other product, including other products from BD or
other manufacturers.
