Hey guys
welcome back to sg dr wellness.
My name is Dr Chen Yiming.
If you are new to my channel, click on the subscribe button now.

As you are all aware by now, the COVID 19 ART self test kit will be made available at all major pharmacies from June 16th in Singapore.
Ministry has stated that each person can only buy up to a maximum of 10 test kits and the indicative price from Watson is about $10-$13 dollars.

These Kits have a specificity of about 99.95%
This means to say that if you are tested positive on these kits, the chance that the results may be wrong is only 0.05%
So these are highly accurate test kits.
Now today i'll show you guys how to perform an ART kit on yourself.

There are about 4 brands of test kits that are being sold currently.
Please read the instructions in your kit before performing the test as they may differ slightly depending on the brand.

All kits would come with a
1) Swab stick
2) Reagent bottle
3) Test strip or test cartridge

Remember to wash your hands before starting the test.
Firstly, clear your nose-first.
Then tear open the package containing the swab stick from the side without the bud - remove the stick, ensuring that you do not touch the soft part of the swab.
Insert the swab about 2cm up your nostril and twist it around 3-4 times.
Repeat the process on the other nostril.

Once done, dip the swab stick into the reagent bottle, stir it well and leave it there for about a minute.
Following this, you squeeze the side of the reagent bottle as you pull the swab stick up.
Throw it away.

Now, the kit that I am using comes with a test cartridge with a well.
I will now cap the reagent bottle up and drip 3 drops of solution into the well.
We will wait 15-20 minutes for the result.

Please read the product label on how to interpret the results. Generally, if you see two stripes on the resulting strip, it usually indicates a positive result.
And if the results are positive, please head down to your nearest SASH PHPC CLINIC or POLYCLINIC or Regional swab center immediately for a confirmatory PCR swab test. Do not go anywhere else.
To find your nearest swab medical facility - search flu.gowhere.gov.sg
