INTERPRETATION OF THE RESULTS
Positive test result:
If all lines are visible, Influenza A, Influenza B and SARS-CoV-2 Positive.
The shade of lines may vary, but even if a faint/weak line appears, it should be considered positive.
If you test positive for COVID-19 or feel unwell and need advice, it’s important to follow the guidance provided by the Department of Health and Aged Care. For more detailed information, please visit their official website: www.health.gov.au/topics/covid-19/testing-positive
Or who are unwell must consult a medical practitioner for follow-up clinical care for Influenza.
Review the recommendations below from the Department of Health and Aged Care:
- If you have a Covid-19 POSITIVE result, staying at home protects the people in your community and you should not visit high-risk settings like hospitals and aged and disability care settings.
- If you feel unwell or need COVID-19 advice for someone in your care, talk with your health provider, or speak to a nurse by calling the healthdirect helpline on 1800 022 222.
- If you develop symptoms such as severe shortness of breath or chest pain, call triple zero (000) immediately. Tell the call handler and the paramedics on arrival if you have COVID-19.
Negative test result:
Only one red line appears in the control region (C), and no line in the region (A), (B), and (T)
The negative result indicates that there are no Flu A/B and SARS-CoV-2 particles in the sample or the number of viral particles is below the detectable range. Even if you get a negative result, you still need to follow all public health advice on limiting the spread Covid-19 and Flu A/B.
If symptoms persist, repeat testing and consult a medical practitioner for follow-up clinical care.
Invalid test result:
No red line appears in the control region (C). The test is invalid even if there is a line on the region (A), (B), (A) and (B) or (T).
When no red line appears in the control region (C) for both tests, the test is INVALID for both Flu A/B and SARS-CoV-2.
Insufficient sample volume or incorrect procedural techniques are the most likely reasons for the control line (C) failure. Review the test procedure and repeat the test using a new test device. If invalid result continues after repeating, please contact Touch Biotechnology on the provided contact number or email for assistance.
