how to use Intec Rapid HIV test

[kis17d]

I ordered the Intec  Rapid HIV test but the directions they went with it were in Chinese. The lancet part is different from what I saw on the website (http://selfdetect.com/en/method.htm). I cannot find same lancet setup in any searches I have made. Hopefully someone can tell me or show me a link to how to use the kit. I did send an email but so far the only responses I have had are in Chinese so it is pretty frustrating.

The kit I have has the sample well. It is still sealed in its package. The lancet needle is encased in a blue piece of plastic with a twist off top. There is also what I think is the plunger to use the lancet needle with. I just don`t know how to get the needle into the plunger. the photos that go along with the Chinese directions are not helpful.I don`t want to waste a kit.

Does anyone have a link to English directions for the kit I described?

Well... they replied in English with two PDF files on how to use the system. Apparently they have two types of lancets so the user has a choice of just poking their finger manually or using their little spring loaded lancet.

With the spring loaded lancet you basically push down the plunger (actually it is the needle)  to make the needle go into and load the spring mechanism. then you twist off the protective cover of the plunger to reveal the needle. Then you hold the lancet against the puncture site and push the trigger. The rest of the test I could figure out.

This is  what was in my kit, though mine also had a small lancet separate so it is confusing. I don`t know if the thing they say is a lancet actually has a needle inside.

Hopefully I will get a response in English from the company but I am also hoping for some help here.
