INSTRUCTION
Instructions for Oral Fluid Sample Collections with Quantisal
Patient Self-Collection Instructions for physician-ordered tests
For observed collection in instances when in-person collections are not
available
Self-Collection Prep—Review the testing procedures with your healthcare provider, select a clean and dry place to conduct the provider-observed collection
- Check device package for integrity and appropriate expiration date. Empty your mouth of gum, food, tobacco prior to test. If mouth is not empty, rinse with water and wait 10 minutes.
- Move tongue side to side to accumulate saliva prior to collection.
- Peel open the Quantisal™ collection device package just far enough for easy removal of the collector handle. Keep the tip of the device pointed down. (Note: Do not use the collection pad if the package has been previously opened, if the collection pad is wet, or if indicator dye is visible prior to use.)
- Use the handle to remove the device from the packet. (Note: Do not touch the collection pad with fingers before or after specimen collection.)
Step 1
Position the collector under tongue and close mouth. Keep head tilted downward to allow gravity to help with saliva collection. Do not chew on pad, talk, or remove collector from mouth until indicator turns BLUE or until 10 minutes have passed.
Step 2
Start a 10-minute timer. The collection process is complete when the blue
color appears in the indicator of the handle (typically 2-10 minutes), or when
collection time reaches 10 minutes, whichever occurs first.
Step 3
When the collection is completed, remove the oral fluid collection transport
tube from the package. Hold transport tube in an upright position and uncap by
pushing up with thumb(s). Do not stand tube on table. Do not spill or empty
the liquid from the tube.
Step 4
Remove the Quantisal oral fluid collector from your mouth and guide the
collector into the uncapped transport tube and replace cap. (Note: Do not
place collector back in mouth after it has been placed in the oral fluid
collection transport tube.)
Step 5
Once the collector is inside the transport tube replace the cap. SNAP cap
firmly in place.
Step 6
Place the specimen vial into the specimen bag and complete the procedures to
prepare and ship the specimen to the testing laboratory.
