INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS
SEE Quick Reference Instructions for larger images of test results in COLOR.
POSITIVE Result*:
At fifteen (15) minutes, the appearance of ANY shade of
a pink-to-red Test Line AND a blue procedural Control
Line indicates a positive result for the presence of RSV viral
antigen. Results will remain stable for five (5) minutes after
the recommended read time.
* A positive result does not rule out co-infections with other pathogens.
C= Control Line
T= Test Line
NEGATIVE Result**:
At fifteen (15) minutes, the appearance of ONLY the blue procedural
Control Line indicates the sample is negative for RSV viral antigen.
Results will remain stable for five (5) minutes after the recommended
read time.
** A negative result does not exclude RSV infection. It is recommended that
negative results be confirmed by cell culture.
INVALID Result:
If at fifteen (15) minutes, the blue procedural Control Line does
not appear, even if any shade of a pink-to-red Test Line appears, the
result is invalid.
If at fifteen (15) minutes, the background color does not clear and it
interferes with the reading of the test, the result is also invalid.
If the test is invalid, a new test should be performed.
*
Look closely! If you
see a very faint, pink
Test Line and a blue
Control Line, you must
report the result as
POSITIVE.
