2.
The kit comes with 3 'control' swabs: one with 'type A'
inoculated on it, one with 'type B' inoculated on it, one
with no inoculums. These swabs are run as simulated patient
tests:
Each day
of patient testing, you use then wrap them in foil and
re-use the next day of testing.
With
each new box, you perform simulated tests using the
'control' swabs, before doing any patient testing.
Hold
them in case you don't trust patient results, then run the
'control' swabs before reporting out patient results
