How to use the iHealth COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test 

The paper instructions were crap . I was going crazy looking for a number because I couldn't find the "empty tube".. I would have been without results had I not looked this video up

same

Fr like I was not going to read all of that😤😭

SAME 😅

I agree

my nephew terrible with shots he has sometimes be restrained and he kicks really hard. he will be five in june he don't flinch from these short nostril only swabs. i mean kids that age tend to pick their noses and goes in about as far as small finger. no way i could do the deep swab due to ptsd issues stemming from childhood one thing i am a bleeder. older like 8 and up can be taught to swab themselves glad it don't hurt. i had a test in er for admmitance in 2020 not sick but and it was negative it was anterior nare swab basically like antigen style but the nurse swabs and i think actually wa PCR as i had wait 72hrs for results. special needs hmm some places test using saliva kids love to spit. i couldn't produce saliva for pre procedure tests because i have for years have severe chronic cotton mouth syndrome,, i was handed a swab for just one nostril and go in half inch. if your child can spit try asking clinics around if they use saliva testing i hear it is quite good method for accuracy i am going on 40 if someone came near me with a deep nasal swab i would be flipping out, i have anxiety when go to the EN't and told him if you want do nasal endoscopy gonna have give me some kind of sedative like dilaudid or fentanyl in iv. there no fasting requirement and both work in minutes i slept for 3 half hours when given fentanyl in er in 2017 for c.diff abdominal pain that i couldn't stop crying all hurt too because i also had severe case or bronchitis even hospitalized for it. this virus way more worse than a small swab test. it's fun having laryngitis and last time i had that was last year when i went for upper/lower endoscopies and didn't know til then that i would be required to have general anesthesia meaning needed to be endo reached. gave me four day cough sore throat i legit couldn't talk i had use dry erase marker and board to tell nurse i needed a popsicle and when think i be discharged and if my mother my ride has been called. anytime i have general i have side effects. i didn't have too much issue in waking in recovery room. i think instructions for covid have to much in them when the test basically to perform it set up and swab takes maybe 3 to 5 minutes

Very simple & easy I test Neg line stay only the c no line came under T the whole 15 mins thank you for this easy Veido that part I had no symptoms but the environment I was in some people was expose so I had to make sure I was safe very comfortable test thank you for making this Veido

Such a cringe comment.

@@Chriiiss_8 total cringe .. it’s a narcissist trying to tell everyone they’re a nurse .. NO ONE CARES !! Your still ordinary!!!

@@Chriiiss_8 Wow who asked you??!!! 🤨🤨🙄🙄😡😡

I was dreading that part too. This video made me laugh and feel I could do it on my own.

Before Covid started, I had a flu test that I swear stabbed my brain! It was so painful 😖 so when I heard people on tv saying they were testing everyday….I was like how???

OMG same here and it was awful. I think that swab even touched the wall of the exam room behind my head.

A friend of mine had the test done when they first started testing and she said it felt like they were trying to put the swab down to her butt. The first time I was tested a year later, they tested like the young lady in the video. I'm getting ready to do my at home test and have downloaded this video.

Right! Lol! I've been terrified to take these type of self testing kits but now I HAVE to as I'm traveling to Italy in Sept which I know traveling back to the U.S. requires a negative test. I know these specific tests aren't valid for int'l travel though. I just ordered these tests for free to practice and test my self..lol!

The instructions are actually quite clear and detailed. They look overwhelming, but there's two different test kits, so half the instructions are skipped. I had no issue with them whatsoever.

Wow

Wow. I think they lied. Omg. I took it I feel fine! 😌

@@shayfigueroa599 Some people without any symptoms can still be positive. Asymptomatic spread is common and this is why wearing a mask indoors makes the most common sense.

@Jesus is coming. Read the Gospel. Go to hell with your religion.

You are very welcome, I am glad it helped! 😀

LMAO

Lol

🤣🤣😅🤧

Or, how bout pulling out the Q-tip SLOOOWLY followed by a stringy strips of boogies?? 😂😂

LMAO

Does the results disappear after 15 just making sure I’m doin it right lol?

@@danielbarraza6684 hey, my test results didn’t disappear in 15min. However, I’m not sure if the results affect the timing. I tested negative.

You know the kit is made in china right

You're welcome, hopefully your teenager is ok.

yikes that means she is positive for covid 🙁

😆👃

We're glad we were able to help! 🙂

I just heard that part in the video and you ask a very pertinent question, not to me but to others. Somehow the logic here flew out the window in regards to the 15 minutes and it's invalid situation. Very strange.

@wyze how do you use this to prove that you have a negative test?

This is a common limitation that is shared with other antigen tests. Best thing to do is to take a photo or use the optional iHealth Pass app if your employer accepts digital proof. You can also test in person at the employer if they have an area (such as an outdoor parking lot) for you to do so that wouldn't potentially expose others.

These aren’t those types of tests unless you are doing it on site with someone. These are for your own knowledge so you can follow up with a doctor and monitor your symptoms and contacts.

Why u are so negative buddy

@@senanladnonu9552 Just pointing out the obvious

Absolutely useful and helpful comment. The at home rapid test kits give a window of knowledge before going off to mix with elderly or vulnerable family and friends, and peace of mind during allergy season (symptoms of which can feel like what we're told to watch out for for covid.) A really useful and helpful test but not acceptable or appropriate to all circumstances.

You are absolutely correct. It may take a few days for the virus to incubate so it makes sense to do a second test a few days after the first one or get a PCR test to be sure!

Thanks and I agree with your comment. I have symptoms of COVID after not getting it over the last 2 years... unless I got it without symptoms, anyway, I took the at home kit and it came back negative after 3 days of having symptoms. I might just be getting the very early symptoms so I plan to test again in 2 days and keep going from there. We'll see how it goes. Be sure to get the free 8 test kits that are sent out from USPS that way you have plenty to play around with.

You're very welcome! 😄

This is correct. One test is not enough anyways, that's why this particular kit comes with two and they recommend repeated testing to make sure, especially if you are not having symptoms. If you do have symptoms and you test at home positive then you can go to a site and have your follow-up with professionals 🙂

That made me stressed out when I read that I had to download the app because I have no way to do so on my phone (need to get a new one), so I was very thankful for this video.

I live in Oklahoma and same thing with the box I got, had everything except for the damn solution...smdh..

I think the missing reagents ended up in others bc I had two... one full test tube and an extra vial of reagent. Packing error?

Just took a pcr and I'm negative!!!

Makes sense. The rapid tests for antigens. So you could have had Covid in the past or have immunity, or even are a carrier but don’t have an active infection or disease. PCR tests for active infection or disease.

I think your fine in my non expert opinion. I would like to know about the accuracy if more then one drop is inserted as well. I did two tests and i serted more then 3 drops. If it's anything like a pregnancy test or other tests it doesn't matter if you add more drops only if you add less and instructions only say not to add less then 3 drops. I don't make the product, but I've done the test a couple times and have done a different brand covid testing at work.

That’s what I got on mine. I’m taking PCR tonight to be sure.

True, could be a false negative
