Spit into funnel until amount of liquid saliva (not bubbles) reaches the fill line shown in above image.

Step 3

Hold the tube upright. Unscrew the funnel from the tube.

Step 4

Use the small cap provided in the kit to close the tube tightly.

Step 5

Shake the capped tube for 5 seconds. Discard or recycle the funnel.

Step 6

Write your full name, your date of birth, and the collection date on the tube.

Step 7

Seal the tube in the specimen bag.

Step 8

Place the specimen bag in the kit box. Keep the patient card with your unique sample barcode for your records.

Step 9

Seal the sample in the return envelope provided.

You can use either the FedEx label found in the test kit or the existing USPS label on the return envelope. See Step 10 for more details.

Note: If ordering multiple tests, please ensure you use the correct return labels for each. MyRisk returns are sent to Salt Lake City, UT, while Foresight samples are sent to San Francisco, CA.

Step 10

Return prepaid envelope.

If using FedEx, place the label found in the test kit on top of the existing label and drop off at a eligible FedEx location or by scheduling a pickup. Unfortunately, FedEx office locations and FedEx drop boxes will not accept the mailer.

If using USPS, simply use the existing label and ship from home.
