Abstract
This tensile test is to mimic the worst-case scenario of the swab being caught on an obstruction when being pulled out of the nasopharyngeal space. It is to determine how much tensile force the swab can withstand without breaking. A variety of different swabs (different materials and different geometries) were tested using the protocol outlined in Section 2 (Tensile Testing Procedure). Not all of the swabs were pre-treated using the Autoclave. For those swabs that were pre-treated using the Autoclave, the tensile tests were performed within 6 hours of completion of the Autoclave pre-treatment, with the exception of the “Aged” swabs. For the “Aged” swabs, the tensile tests were performed 7 days after the Autoclave pre -treatment. All swabs were provided by HP.
