A collection of devices intended exclusively for professional use for the collection, and preservation and/or transport, of a saliva/oral, nasal, nasopharyngeal, and/or oropharyngeal specimen for subsequent laboratory analysis [e.g., nucleic acid technique (NAT), microbiological culture]. The kit consists of a non-suctioning sampling/collection tool(s) [e.g., swab, brush, spatula, saliva collection mouthpiece/funnel] and a covered specimen receptacle with or without an additive/medium [e.g., preservative solution, microbiological medium (e.g., Amies, Stuart, viral transport/inactivation medium)]. This is a single-use device.
