How is a Covid-19 Antigen Rapid Test performed?
Oris uses the nasopharyngeal (nasal swab) method of specimen collection.

You will be asked to tip your head back 70%. -
A mini-tip swab with a flexible shaft will be placed through the nostril parallel to the palate until resistance is encountered or the distance is equivalent to that from the ear to the nostril of the patient, indicating contact with the nasopharynx. -
The swab will be rolled and gently rubbed. -
The swab sample will then be placed in a tube containing liquid. -
Three drops of the sample will be placed on the strip.
