The MRSA eSwab kit contains 2 swabs and a tube of liquid medium. The kit can be used for sampling 2 sites.
- Use the first swab to sample the first site, then twirl it into the liquid in the tube and dispose of the swab.
- Use the second swab to sample the second site and place the white swab into the tube, break at the break point and screw the lid on tightly securing the swab inside. Do not tip out the liquid in the tube.
- Label the tube with the patient details and the sites that were sampled.
If more than 2 sites are required use a second kit and order as second MRSA test.
If referring doctor has not specified which site to swab, please collect samples from axilla and nose.
