Human Metapneumovirus Antigen Test Cassette Hmpv Test Kit
INTRODUCTION
Human metapneumovirus (hMPV) is a common respiratory virus from the Paramyxoviridae family. It primarily causes respiratory infections in children, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals. Symptoms include cough, nasal congestion, and sore throat, and in severe cases, it can lead to pneumonia or bronchitis. hMPV is widespread globally, with higher incidence during colder seasons and in densely populated areas like schools, hospitals, and nursing homes.
Early detection of hMPV is crucial as its symptoms are similar to those of influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and other respiratory viruses, making clinical diagnosis challenging. Timely testing helps differentiate between infections, enabling appropriate treatment and prevention measures, thereby reducing the risk of transmission and severe complications.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
① Open the packaging. You should have the test cassette 、Prepackaged extraction buffer 、 the nasal swab and packageinsert in front of you.
② Peel the foil sea from the top pf the extraction tube containing the extraction buffer
③Open the swab on the side of the swab tip, carefully remove the swab without touching the tip.
④Now take the same nasal swab and insert it into the other nastril, swab the inside of the nostril in a circular motion 5 times for at least 15 seconds, please perform the test directly with the sample and do not leave it standing.
5.Place the nasal swab into the tube filled with extraction buffer .Rotate the swab for at least 30 seconds while pressing the swab tip against the inside of the tube,to release the antigen in the swab.
6.Press the swab tip against the inside of the tube. Try to release as much liquid as possible from the swab.
7.Put the cap tightly back on the tube to avoid any leaks Place 3 drops of sample from the top into the sample well of the test Cassette. The sample well is the round recess atthe bottom of the the test Cassette and is marked with an "S".
8.Start the stopwatch and wait 15 minutes before reading,even if the control line becomes visible before. Before that,the result may not be correct.
INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS
Positive: Two lines appear. One line should always appear in the control
line region(C), and another one apparent colored line should appear in
the test line region.
Negative: One colored line appear in the control region(C).No apparent
colored line appear in the test line region.
Invalid: Control line fail to appear. Insufficient specimen volume or
incorrect procedural techniques are the most likely reasons for control
line failure.
