Panbio - Covid-19 Antigen Self-Test, 4 Tests

Check for COVID-19 at Home

Use a rapid antigen testing kit designed for simple self-screening. This diagnostic device gives patients a practical way to detect SARS-CoV-2 antigens from a nasal swab sample without visiting a clinic for every test. The 4-test pack suits households, travel preparation, workplace screening, and repeat testing when symptoms appear or exposure is suspected.

This self-test is built for convenience, but accuracy still depends on proper sample collection and correct timing. It is intended for personal use and supports fast decision-making when someone has fever, sore throat, cough, congestion, body aches, or recent contact with an infected person. The compact format also makes it useful for families who want multiple tests available at home.

A rapid COVID antigen test does not replace professional diagnosis in every case. It works best as a first-line screening tool in home care settings. When used correctly, it supports early action, isolation planning, and better infection control. This medicine-related testing device offers a clear step in responsible health monitoring.

Ingredients

This self-test kit contains the testing components required to collect a nasal specimen, process the sample, and detect viral antigen on a lateral flow cassette. The contents are designed for single-use testing and should not be reused. Each part of the kit serves a specific diagnostic purpose, from sample collection to reagent activation and result display.

Active Ingredients

• Test cassette with SARS-CoV-2 antigen detection membrane
• Extraction buffer solution
• Sterile nasal swab
• Dropper or buffer tube components for sample transfer

Inactive Ingredients

• Plastic testing cassette housing
• Protective foil pouch
• Disposable tube materials
• Instruction leaflet
• Outer carton packaging

How to Use

Use this testing device on a clean, flat surface. Wash or sanitize your hands before opening the kit. Read the instructions fully before starting. Remove one test unit from the pack only when ready to use it.

Collect the nasal sample with the sterile swab as directed in the kit instructions. Insert the swab into each nostril and rotate it to gather the specimen. Place the swab into the extraction buffer tube. Mix thoroughly so the sample combines with the solution. Secure the cap or nozzle, then apply the required number of drops to the test cassette.

Wait for the stated development time. Read the result only within the instructed time window. A control line confirms the test worked properly. A visible test line with the control line indicates a positive result. A control line without a test line indicates a negative result. If the control line does not appear, the test is invalid and should be repeated with a new unit.

Dosage

This diagnostic kit is for external testing use only. It is not a medicine taken by mouth or applied to the skin. The proper testing quantity is one complete test per use.

Follow these usage points:

• Use one swab, one buffer setup, and one cassette for each test.
• Do not split one test between two patients.
• Use a fresh test for each new screening session.
• Repeat testing according to symptoms, exposure timing, workplace policy, travel guidance, or healthcare advice.
• Do not use more than one unit at the same time for the same sample unless instructed by a healthcare professional.

The 4-test pack supports serial testing. This is valuable when symptoms begin early or when the first result is negative despite recent exposure.

Precautions

This self-screening device requires careful handling. Poor technique can affect the result. Always check the expiry date before use. Do not use damaged, opened, or wet components. Do not substitute parts from another test brand.

Important precautions include:

• Keep the kit out of reach of children.
• Store it according to the package instructions.
• Do not use the test after expiry.
• Use only the components included in the same box.
• Avoid touching the absorbent tip of the swab.
• Do not read the result too early or too late.
• Dispose of used materials safely after testing.

A negative result does not always rule out infection. Low viral load, poor sample collection, or testing too early can affect detection. Patients with ongoing symptoms, high-risk exposure, or worsening illness should seek medical advice even after a negative result. A positive result should be treated seriously, followed by isolation and local public health guidance.

Side Effects

This testing device does not create drug-related side effects because it is not a swallowed or injected medicine. Still, some patients can notice mild temporary discomfort during nasal swabbing.

Possible reactions include:

• Brief nasal irritation
• Watery eyes
• Sneezing
• Mild tickling sensation
• Temporary discomfort in the nostril

These effects usually pass quickly after sample collection. Stop the test if bleeding, significant pain, or marked irritation occurs.
