Chapter 1 Tips:

• Do not remove the device from the foil packaging until you are ready to run the test.
• Once a test is plugged in and processing, do not unplug or move the device.

If you’d like to complete a control run during this video training, please have all the supplies nearby:

• Visby Testing Devices (1 x Positive Control, 1 x Negative Control)
• 2 Visby buffer tubes (red cap tubes provided in the same box as the devices)
• 2 Visby Power Adapters (to run controls simultaneously)
• 2 Swabs (1 x Positive Control, 1 x Negative Control. Do not remove packaging until ready to use during training.)
• Gloves (best practices)
• Chuck or Paper Towel (to avoid contamination)

Chapter 2 Tips:

• Do not remove the device from the foil packaging until you are ready to run the test.
• If the power light does not turn on or if the power light blinks, refer to the instructions for use for additional support.

Chapter 3 Tips:

• A patient sample or a control sample is stable in the Visby Respiratory Health Buffer for 2 hours at room temperature or 48 hours at refrigerated temperature.
• For the control swab, gently tap the swab on the bottom of the tube 5 times, then discard the swab in accordance with your institution’s instructions. Screw the cap back onto the tube
• Invert a sample in the Visby buffer tube 5 times prior to loading into the device.
• Clinical Lab Managers often have their staff notate on the exterior of the Visby Device Box the date controls were run so that it’s easy to identify boxes ready for use, or new orders that require a control to be run.

Chapter 4 Tips:

• Treat the pipette similar to an eye dropper, squeeze the upper bulb of the provided pipette prior to submerging the tip to the bottom of the sample tube.
• Do not invert the pipette once the sample is loaded. Doing so may create air bubbles in the shaft.
• Some fluid will remain in the lower bulb of the pipette.
• Once the sample is loaded into the device, keep the upper bulb squeezed as the pipette tip is removed from loading the sample as to not asperate liquid back into the pipette shaft.
• To avoid contamination, do NOT set the pipette down on the counter space. Immediately discard the pipette according to your institution’s guidelines.

Chapter 5 Tips:

• Once a test is plugged in do not unplug or move the device.
• The results will be ready in approximately 30 minutes. The results are ready when the green “done” light appears (each progress light is approximately in 10 minute increments).

If you are watching this video while running a Visby test, please pause now. After 30 minutes, the test you are running should be complete. When you resume watching, begin with Chapter 6.

• If a retest is required, use the same patient sample as long as it has been properly stored (≤ 2 hours at room temperature or 48 hours refrigerated) with a new Visby Medical respiratory Health device and new Visby pipette.
• Be sure to invert the specimen 5 times prior to loading the sample into the device.
• Dispose of the device and other materials according to your institution’s guidelines.
