BD Veritor System Strep A 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 Strep A 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 5 minutes before inserting into the
•
BD Veritor Instrument.
•
