Description:
1. Prior to swabbing, cleanse the wound with sterile saline to remove all loose debris, remains of therapeutic agents and necrotic tissue.
2. Ensure that complete hemostasis has been achieved before obtaining the specimen. Do not perform sharp wound debridement prior to sample collection.
3. Moisten wound area to be swabbed with a few (up to five) drops of saline. Care should be taken not to flood the wound with excessive saline.
4. Avoid swabbing areas that contain blood, necrotic material, thick slough or fibrinous tissue.
5. Using a sterile swab provided in the kit, collect the wound fluid sample by pressing the head of the swab flat against the base of the wound and gently rolling it back and forth several times while applying pressure. Continue rolling the swab head until fully coated and discoloured by wound fluid.
6. Test fresh sample swabs as soon as possible after collection. Follow test procedure instructions.
