In-Home Rapid Strep Test Kit

This kit contains a rapid antigen test for Group A Streptococcus, intended for use at home. Rapid antigen tests have known limitations, including lower sensitivity than throat culture. A negative result does not rule out strep, especially in pediatric patients. Any result should be interpreted by a licensed healthcare provider in the context of your symptoms.

How to use

1. Open the kit and read the included instructions carefully.
2. Swab the back of the throat as directed.
3. Run the test and read the result at the indicated time on the instructions.
4. Share the result with a licensed healthcare provider.

Do not start, stop, or change any medication based on this test alone.

Important notes

• A positive result should be discussed with a licensed healthcare provider, who can determine whether antibiotics are appropriate based on your overall presentation.
• A negative result with continued symptoms should also be reviewed by a provider, who may order a throat culture or other testing.
• This test does not replace clinical evaluation or a provider's diagnosis.

Important Information About This Test

This test is intended for general consumer use. It is not a substitute for medical evaluation. Limitations include imperfect sensitivity (particularly in children), the possibility of false negatives and false positives, and user-handling variability. Throat culture remains the gold standard when clinically indicated.

Emergencies. If you or your child have difficulty breathing, drooling and inability to swallow, neck swelling, very high fever, or other concerning symptoms, seek emergency care immediately. Call 911 in a medical emergency.
