Rapid Strep A Test: Diagnose Strep Throat, Scarlet Fever, Pneumonia, Bronchitis, Pharyngitis

Title: Rapid Group A Streptococcus Test (RED) for Strep Throat, Scarlet Fever, and More

Description:

The RED rapid Group A Streptococcus (GAS) test offers a convenient and accurate way to detect Group A Streptococcus (GAS) bacteria, the cause of various infections including strep throat (pharyngitis), scarlet fever, impetigo, erysipelas, and more serious conditions like pneumonia, glomerulonephritis, vasculitis, and rheumatic fever. This point-of-care test provides results in approximately 10 minutes, allowing for timely treatment decisions. With a sensitivity exceeding 99%, the RED test uses a simple throat swab to detect the presence of GAS in a sample. This at-home test provides results in just 10 minutes, offering convenience and peace of mind. The RED test kit detects GAS in throat swabs.

What the RED Rapid Strep Test Detects:

• Strep Throat (Pharyngitis): A common bacterial infection causing sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and fever.
• Scarlet Fever: A bacterial infection characterized by a red rash, high fever, and sore throat.
• Impetigo: A highly contagious bacterial skin infection.
• Erysipelas: A bacterial skin infection causing redness, swelling, and pain.
• Pneumonia: A lung infection that can range in severity.
• Glomerulonephritis: Inflammation of the kidney's filtering units.
• Vasculitis: Inflammation of blood vessels.
• Rheumatic Fever: A serious inflammatory condition affecting the heart, joints, and brain.
• Bronchitis: Inflammation of the bronchial tubes.
• Periodontitis: Inflammation and infection of the gums.

Easy-to-Use Procedure:

The RED rapid strep test is designed for ease of use. After collecting a throat swab sample (avoiding contact with teeth, gums, tongue, and cheeks), the sample is mixed with reagents and applied to the test cassette. Results are clearly visible within 10 minutes. The test kit includes clear, step-by-step instructions.

Bonus: NexTemp Liquid Crystal Thermometer:

This kit includes a NexTemp liquid crystal thermometer, a mercury-free and reusable option for accurate oral and axillary temperature readings. Used in clinics worldwide, this thermometer provides a reliable way to monitor your temperature during illness.

Precautions:

• The RED test is for in vitro diagnostic use only.
• All components are non-toxic at the concentrations used.
• Do not use expired tests.
• Always wear disposable gloves when handling samples.
• Dispose of used tests and samples appropriately.
• The results are preliminary and may need confirmation with further testing.
