Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Collection of nasal secretions from infants and toddlers for viral testing is usually done using the nasal washing technique described by Hall in 1975. This is cumbersome. Previous attempts to use swabs have been unsuccessful because the swabs didn't work well. A newly designed swab may work better and in this study we compare the new swab with the old style nasal washing. .
