Using SalivaDirect DTC PCR Testing Kits

This test is designed to test saliva that naturally collects in your mouth. Do not eat, drink, smoke, clean your teeth, chew gum, or use nasal sprays for 30 minutes before collecting your saliva sample:

1. Visit the FedEx website at fedex.com/labreturns to view drop box locations and pick up schedules.
   •  Your sample should be shipped the same day that you collect it. Make sure you can get to your drop box before the last pickup time on the same day you collect your sample.
   • Do not deliver your sample to a drop box on the weekend.
2. Identify your sample transport tube.
   • Using a permanent pen, write your date of birth (MM-DD-YY) on the patient identifier sticker.
   • Remove the adhesive backing from the patient identifier sticker and affix it to the sample transport tube.
   • Do not write on or cover up the printed barcode or ID number on the tube.
3. Activate your kit using the link on the registration card.
   • Follow the instructions on the page to fill in your information.
4. Wash your hand with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or clean them with alcohol-based sanitizer.
5. Remove everything from the collection kit and place it in front of you. Set the bag aside. Avoid touching the inside of the funnel.
6. Pick up the funnel and sample tube. Position the funnel into the collection tube as shown.
7. Swallow once to clear your mouth.
8. Imagine eating your favorite food, think about an upcoming meal or even a sour lemon and allow saliva to collect in your mouth. Be patient and it will start to collect!
   • Remember to avoid coughing or sniffing.
9. Hold the funnel up so that it surrounds your mouth. Then gently release the saliva that has pooled in your mouth into the funnel.
   • Please avoid ‘spitting’ into the tube. Saliva should instead be gently released from your mouth.
10. Collect enough saliva so the tube is half-filled. Any bubbles in the tube do not count towards the final volume.
    • You may have to repeat this process a couple of times until the tube is half-full.
11. Once you have collected enough saliva, remove the funnel from the sample tube and tightly screw the cap back onto the tube.
    • Make sure the cap is secure before proceeding to the next step.
12. Use the alcohol wipe to wipe your hands and the sample tube. DO NOT wipe the printed part of the label.
13. Place the closed sample tube into the biospecimen bag.
14. Discard the alcohol wipe and used funnel.
15. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water or clean them with alcohol-based sanitizer.
16. Place the biospecimen bag into the SalivaDirect-labeled box it came in. Place the SalivaDirect-labeled box into the FedEx UN 3373 Pak.
    • Remove the adhesive liner of the FedEx UN 3373 Pak and press down firmly to seal Pak tightly.
    • Please drop off your sample on the same day you collect it and before the last pickup time. Do not deliver your sample to a drop box on the weekend.
