1. Remove the Test Device from the protective pouch and place on a flat surface. Label the Test Device with the subject I.D. or control identification. Only use the provided white space for this purpose. Do not cover up the test name.

2. Gently mix the sample by inverting.

3. Using a provided Transfer Pipette, hold the pipette vertically and dispense one drop of sample (anticoagulated whole blood, serum, or plasma) into sample well.

4. Holding the Chase Buffer Bottle vertically, promptly add 2 drops of the chase buffer to the sample well.

5. Read the results within 10 minutes. Do not read results after 10 minutes. Colored lines which appear after 10 minutes are not diagnostic and should be ignored.

INTERPRETATION OF TEST RESULTS

Positive Results

A test is positive if a colored line appears under the FeLV (L) or FIV (I) areas and a line appears under the Control line (C) area. Any intensity of the Test line L or I areas should be considered positive. Colored lines may be lighter or darker than each other.

Negative Results

The test is negative if only one line appears at the Control line (C) area.

Invalid Results

The test is invalid if no colored line appears at the Control line (C) area even if a colored line appears in the Test line L or I areas. If a colored line does not appear in the C area, the test is invalid and should be repeated.
