Flowflex COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test
The Flowflex Rapid Test provides accurate results (98.6%) in just 15 minutes! A simple, four-step process allows you to get back to what matters while ensuring the safety of yourself and others. Single-use test and easy to store, commute with or distribute!
Non-Invasive, Reliable Results
Effortlessly swab just 1-2cm deep into each nostril and dip the swab into the included solution. Ultra-sensitive even at low viral loads, the FlexFlow Rapid Antigen Test can help identify asymptomatic individuals.
CONDUCTING THE TEST
STEP 1: Conduct a nasal swab on the individual being tested. Please ensure to follow the guidelines presented on the device's packaging.
STEP 2: Mix the specimen with the accompanying liquids and cap the mixing tube.
STEP 3: Drop the mixture directly onto the designated area on the test cassette.
STEP 4: Read the results after the appropriate amount of time while following the accompanying instructions.
INTERPRETING THE RESULTS
POSITIVE: Two coloured bands appear on the membrane. One band appears in the control region (C) and another band appears in the test region (T).
NEGATIVE: Only one coloured band appears, in the control region (C).
INVALID: Control band(s) fail to appear. Please kindly note that results from any test that has not produced at least a control band at the specified time read must be discarded. Insufficient specimen volume, incorrect operating procedure or expired tests are the most likely reasons for control band failure. If this occurs, please conduct a new test while closely following the instructions provided.
Included in Each Single-Use Kit
• 5 x Test cassettes

IMPORTANT NOTES
The colour intensity in the test region (T) may vary depending on the concentration of analytes present in the specimen. Therefore, any shade of colour in the test region should be considered positive.
Note that this is a qualitative test only and cannot determine the concentration of analytes in the specimen.
This test is intended for professional use only and should not be used as the sole basis for the diagnosis of an infection.
FAQ
For asymptomatic patients, it is recommended to repeat the test once a day for several days.
Results of the Rapid Response COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test can be read at 15 minutes. Results should be read at 15 minutes, but not later than 30 minutes. If any lines show up after 30 minutes, they should not be considered as true results. Please refer to the product insert for instructions on conducting and interpreting the test.
Compared to the regular laboratory-based PCR test, COVID-19 rapid antigen tests must be considered preliminary. The results from the antigen test must be confirmed with a regular laboratory-based PCR test. Interpretation of results in different populations varies based on specimen type collected and pre-test probability of COVID-19 in the patient being tested.
The test must be stored between 2-30°C. All components must be brought to room temperature (15-30°C) before conducting the test.
BTNX’s Rapid Response COVID-19 Antigen Test Device is designed to detect the SARS-CoV-2 viral nucleocapsid proteins. Mutations of the nucleocapsid proteins for the Omicron variant include P13L, Δ31-33, R203K, and G204R. BTNX has urgently analyzed the sequences from the Omicron variant to understand the implication of these mutations. Based on the preliminary analysis, we anticipate that the Omicron variant will be detectable by the Rapid Response COVID-19 Antigen Test Device. BTNX will conduct in-vitro studies to confirm the effect on test performance. The results will be made available as soon as the investigations are concluded. BTNX continues to follow the latest findings on COVID-19 and remain committed to maintaining the highest level of excellency in our products.
