How to take it

For self-testing use only. Always read the instructions leaflet included in the pack before use. Wash and dry your hands, then insert the swab a short distance into each nostril and rotate gently as directed. Mix the swab in the extraction buffer tube, then apply the stated number of drops onto the test device. Read your result within the time window specified in the leaflet (do not read the result after the stated cut-off time, as this can give a misleading result). Each test is for single use only and should be disposed of after reading the result. Suitable for adult self-testing; children should be tested with the help of an adult.

Warnings

For self-testing only; this is not a substitute for professional medical diagnosis or advice. A negative result reduces the likelihood of infection at the time of testing but does not completely rule it out, especially if you have symptoms, consider retesting after 24-48 hours or seeking further advice if unwell. This kit is not for travel and is not accompanied by any fit-to-fly or travel-certification documentation. Single use only, do not reuse a test device or swab. Keep out of reach of children. Store the kit as directed on the packaging and check the expiry date before use. Always read the instructions/leaflet before use. If you feel very unwell, are in a high-risk group, or are unsure how to interpret your result, consult your pharmacist, GP, or NHS 111.

Side effects

No systemic side effects. Possible mild, transient nasal discomfort or irritation during swabbing; rare risk of nosebleed if swabbed too vigorously. If extraction buffer contacts skin or eyes, rinse thoroughly with water.

Age restrictions

Ages 18+ can self-test unassisted. Ages 12-17 can self-test under adult supervision. Children aged 11 and under must be tested by an adult.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

The kit is a sample-collection and diagnostic device, not a medicine taken into the body, so it carries no pregnancy or breastfeeding contraindications.

Alcohol

Not applicable - this is an in-vitro diagnostic test kit, not a medicine; it is not ingested or absorbed into the body.

Driving and machinery

The kit is used only to collect and analyse a nasal sample outside the body and has no pharmacological effect on alertness or the ability to drive or operate machinery.

Storage

Store the unused kit between 4-30C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, out of reach of children. Bring to room temperature (15-30C) before use, and use the test cassette within 1 hour of opening its foil pouch.

How accurate is the Speedychecks test?

Like other antigen lateral flow tests, it is designed to give a rapid indication of current infection but is not as sensitive as laboratory PCR testing. Accuracy can vary with viral load and how carefully the swab and timing instructions are followed, so always follow the enclosed leaflet closely and treat a negative result as reassuring rather than definitive, especially if you have symptoms.

Can I use this test to meet travel testing requirements?

No. This kit is explicitly labelled "Not for Travel" and is not issued with the certified results, ID verification, or supervised-testing documentation that some travel providers require. If you need a test for travel, look for a provider offering certified fit-to-fly or travel-specific testing.

What type of sample do I need to take?

This is a nasal swab test. You gently insert the swab a short distance into each nostril and rotate it as described in the instructions, rather than taking a throat sample.

How long does it take to get a result?

Results are typically ready within around 15 minutes of applying the sample to the test strip, but you should always check the exact reading window in your pack's instructions, as reading too early or too late can affect reliability.

What should I do if I test positive or still feel unwell after a negative result?

If you test positive, current general guidance is to try to avoid close contact with others, particularly anyone at higher risk, until you feel better. If you test negative but still have symptoms or feel worse, consider retesting after a day or two and speak to your pharmacist, GP, or NHS 111 for advice.
