Usage notes
- - For single use only; follow local infection-control, specimen-handling and transport regulations. Intended for collection and transport to diagnostic laboratories; compatibility with specific tests should be confirmed with the receiving laboratory.
Limitations and warnings
- - Not a diagnostic test by itself. Prescription or regulated-use restrictions may apply in some jurisdictions. If you require a different medium (e.g., Liquid Stuart, Amies gel, or dry/ESwab formats) choose the matching catalog number — 220093 is Liquid Amies single-swab only.
- - If lot/expiry validation or regulatory documentation is required at sale, confirm with your supplier; seller photos may not show outer carton lot/expiry details.
If uncertain about clinical compatibility for a particular assay or transport timeframe, verify with the laboratory or BD technical documentation before purchase.
