SAMPLING METHOD
Remove excess mucus from the cervical canal and the surroundings using
the dry swab attached in the swab sampling kit. Discard this swab.
Insert the attached FLOQSwabs into the cervical canal. Gently rotate the swab towards the same direction for 5 rounds,
and withdraw the swab carefully while avoiding any contact with the vaginal mucus.
Open the cap of the dedicated container, and carefully place the FLOQSwabs
into the container while avoiding immersing the tip of the swab in the container solution.
Align the score line of the swab shaft with the top edge of the container.
Break the FLOQSwabs shaft using the edge of the dedicated container,
and discard the top portion of the swab shaft. Firmly tighten the cap of the dedicated container,
and submit the specimen under room temperature conditions.
