All nasal swabs included in the QuickVue At-Home OTC COVID-19 Test kits are sterile, as indicated by a printed rectangle stating “Sterile” on each swab package. The sterilization method is specified by “R” or “EO”/“EtO” next to the sterile label. “R” denotes gamma radiation sterilization, while “EO” or “EtO” signifies ethylene oxide sterilization. This ensures the highest standard of safety and effectiveness for users of the QuickVue at home COVID test, providing confidence in the test's reliability and hygiene.
