Warning: Results must not be interpreted past 30 minutes after inoculation. Using the Sofia or
Sofia 2 past this time may result in false results.
Tips for Batch Testing
Depending on the workload, several options exist to make batch testing easier. The user can add the Reagent
Solution to one or more Reagent Tubes, recap them, and store them on the bench at room temperature (RT)
for up to 6 hours without loss of activity before adding the sample(s).
Critically important: The user should never open the foil pouch exposing the Test Cassette to ambient
environment until ready for immediate use.
RUN TEST WITH SOFIA
1. Input the User ID using the barcode scanner or manually enter the data using the key pad.
NOTE: If you mistakenly scan the incorrect barcode, use the Arrow Buttons on the Sofia key pad to
re-highlight the field. Then simply rescan using the correct barcode, and the previous one will be
overwritten with the correct barcode.
2. Input the Patient ID or Order # using the barcode scanner or manually enter the data using the key pad.
