AZOVA At-Home COVID-19 Test Collection Kit Instructions

Step 1: Inspect and Register Your Test Kit

Once you have received your test kit, complete the following steps:

Inspect your test kit to ensure all components are included: collection tube with funnel, tube cap, biohazard bag with absorbent sheet, original shipping box with attached prepaid return shipping label.
On the day you collect your saliva specimen, go to www.register.azova.com to register your test kit ID barcode. This will link your specimen with your order and test results. Your test report will show the collection date as the date you register your kit.
Complete the Information Sheet on the perforated edge of the instruction card and place in the document pouch of the biohazard bag.
IMPORTANT: Read complete instructions prior to providing a specimen.

Step 2: Collect Your Saliva Sample

You may complete your specimen on your own or under the supervision of a healthcare provider. Avoid collecting and sending back samples on the weekend.

IMPORTANT: Do not eat, drink, smoke, or chew gum 30 minutes before collecting your saliva specimen. Wash your hands thoroughly for 20 seconds then dry your hands before starting the collection.
Open your kit and place all the contents on a clean, dry surface. Remove the saliva collection device from its packaging and collect your specimen.
Fill the tube with saliva to the black wavy
line. Fill the tube until your saliva (not including bubbles) is at or just above the wavy line. DO NOT OVERFIL
Replace the funnel with the fluid cap. Remove the funnel from the tube. Screw on the enclosed cap TIGHTLY to release the solution that will stabilize the DNA in your saliva.
Firmly screw cap down to release solution and seal tube. You will know it works when the blue solution from the cap is released into the tube. Firmly tighten cap to assure the cap and tube is completely sealed.

Place the tube into the biohazard bag and seal the bag shut.
Shake the tube for at least five seconds. This will ensure your sample mixes thoroughly with the stabilizing solution.
