Register your test

Before you start, you need to register your test. Your test kit contains a sticker with your unique test-ID. If you need help creating an account, you can check our guide.

Place the glass containers in order

Remove the test tubes from the transport container and place them in the order in which the samples are to be taken.

Take the mouthpiece

Take the mouthpiece in one hand with the spout facing up, and the test tube marked “1” in the other hand.

NOTE: The first breath test should be performed BEFORE taking the supplied solution.

Exhale the air through the mouthpiece

Inhale, hold your breath for 5 seconds and then exhale the air through the mouthpiece in the bag so that the bag fills slowly.

Place the test tube against the extraction device

While you are still exhaling, ie. the bag is still filled with the air you have exhaled, place the test tube with the rubber side against the extraction device while pressing lightly. A needle penetrates the rubber of the test tube. The air from the bag now enters the pipe. Pull the test tube out of the collection device and place it ready for dispatch.

Note the time

After taking the first reference sample, you will now drink the supplied test solution. Note the time.

NOTE: From now on you will not be allowed to drink more water for an hour! After that it is ok to drink plain still water.

Drink the test solution

Drink the water with the powder you made earlier.

Repeat with the other glass containers

Now take the other 6 breathing samples in a row after 30, 50, 70, 90, 120 and 150 minutes. Continue in the same way as for the first test.

NOTE: Record the time of the breathing gas samples (No. 2-7) on the test protocol.

Send the test to the lab

Put the glass containers in the pre-stamped envelope. Send the test to the lab the same day, preferably on Monday.
