Product Description
Abbott BinaxNOW™ COVID-19 / Flu A&B Control Swab Kit
External controls are how a testing site confirms that its BinaxNOW COVID-19/Flu A&B reagents and materials are working and that the test procedure is being performed correctly. This kit supplies 10 positive and 10 negative control swabs, individually wrapped, so you can run controls as your site's quality control procedures and applicable regulations or accreditation requirements call for. It is sold separately from the test kit and is made for use with the BinaxNOW COVID-19/Flu A&B professional test.

- The positive control swab should produce a positive result, and the negative control swab should produce a negative result.
- If either control result is unexpected or invalid, repeat the controls with a new swab, extraction buffer tube, and test cassette.
- If results continue to be unexpected or invalid, contact Abbott Technical Support.
