CCV Antigen Rapid Test
(Feces/Vomit)
Package Insert
REF VICV-607
INTENDED USE
The CCV Antigen Rapid Test (Feces/Vomit) is a lateral flow
immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative detection of Canine
Coronavirus (CCV Ag) in dog’s feces or vomit.
For veterinary use only.
PRINCIPLE
The CCV Antigen Rapid Test is based on sandwich lateral flow
immunochromatographic assay. The test has a testing window with an
invisible T (test) zone and C (control) zone. During testing, the
liquid will laterally flow on the surface of the test strip. If
there is enough Canine Coronavirus antigen in the sample, a visible
T line will appear. The C line should always appear after a sample
is applied, indicating a valid result. By this means, the test can
accurately indicate the presence of Canine Coronavirus antigen in
the sample.
STORAGE AND STABILITY
Store as packaged in the sealed pouch either at room temperature or
refrigerated (2-30 °C). The test is stable through the expiration
date printed on the sealed pouch. The test must remain in the
sealed pouch until use. DO NOT FREEZE.
Do not use beyond the expiration date.
PRECAUTIONS
Do not use after the expiration date. Do not reuse the test kit.
Handle all specimens as if they contain infectious agents.
Observe established precautions against microbiological hazards
throughout testing and follow the standard procedures for proper
disposal of specimens.
Wear disposable gloves and eye protection when specimens are
being tested.
Humidity and temperature can adversely affect results.
Do not remove test from its pouch until immediately before use.
Do not mix components from different lot and different products.
Please ensure that an appropriate amount of samples are used for
testing. Too much or too little sample size may lead to deviation
of results.

• Swabs
• Package Insert
Materials Required But Not Provided
• Timer
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Allow the test and specimen to equilibrate to room temperature
(15-30 °C) prior to testing.
1. Remove the test from the foil pouch and use it as soon as
possible. Best results will be obtained if the assay is performed
within one hour.
2. Unscrew the cap of the test cup.
Collect dog’s vomit from the ground or feces with the swab from
dog’s anus. Insert the wet swab into the test cup and mix well.
Remove the swab.
Collect dog’s feces with the collection applicator on the ground.
Randomly stab the specimen collection applicator into the specimen
in at least
3 different sites to collect approximately 50 mg of feces
(equivalent to 1/4 of a pea). Do not scoop the fecal specimen.
3. Insert the specimen collection applicator back into the test cup
and tighten the cap.
4. Shake the test cup for about 10-15 seconds to mix well. Leave
the cup for reaction for 2 minutes.
5. Remove the plastic limit strip of the test cup.
6. Put the test cup on a clean and level surface, press the cup
body from the top to the bottom and start the timer.
Note: Keep the test upright while testing. Do not move or turn the
test upside down.
7. Read the result at 5-10 minutes. Do not interpret results after
15 minutes.
INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS
Positive: The presence of both C line and T line, no matter T line
is clear or vague.
Negative: Only clear C line appears.
Invalid: No colored line appears in C zone, no matter whether T
line appears.
