Gently squeeze the ridged portion of the tube, allowing three (3) drops of the
processed specimen to dispense into the sample well of a labeled BD Veritor
System Strep A device.
NOTE: Squeezing the tube close to the tip may cause leakage.
Step 8B: Start the development and reading sequence
•
Immediately insert the test device into the slot on the right side of the Analyzer.
The test device must remain horizontal to prevent spilling the specimen out of
the sample well.
•
"DO NOT DISTURB TEST IN PROGRESS" appears in the display window. Automatic
