LIMITATIONS

1) This product is only suitable for qualitative in vitro diagnosis.

2) Clinical performance was evaluated with frozen samples, and test performance may be different with fresh samples.

3) Users should test specimens as quickly as possible after specimen collection.

4) Positive test results do not rule out co-infections with other pathogens.

5) Results from COVID-19 Antigen Rapid qualitative test should be correlated with the clinical history, epidemiological data, and other data available to the clinician evaluating the patient.

6) A false-negative test result may occur if the level of viral antigen if a sample is below the detection limit of the test or if the sample was collected or transported improperly; therefore, a negative test result does not eliminate the possibility of COVID-19 infection.

7) Failure to follow the test procedure may adversely affect test performance and/or invalidate the test result.

8) This test has been authorized only for the detection of nucleoprotein antigen from SARS-CoV-2, not for any other viruses or pathogens.

9) As with all diagnostic tests, all results must be interpreted together with other clinical information available to the physician.

10) Negative test results are not intended to rule in other non-COVID-19 viral or bacterial infections.

11) Positive and negative predictive values are highly dependent on prevalence. Positive test results are more likely to represent false positive results during periods of little/no COVID-19 activity when disease prevalence is low. False negative test results are more likely when prevalence of disease caused by COVID-19 is high.

12) This device has been evaluated for use with human specimen material only.

13) Monoclonal antibodies may fail to detect, or detect with less sensitivity, COVID-19 viruses that have undergone minor amino acid changes in the target epitope region.

14) The performance of this test has not been evaluated for using the patients without signs and symptoms of respiratory infection and performance may differ in asymptomatic individuals.

15) The validity of the kit has not been proven for identification/confirmation of tissue culture isolates and should not be used in this capacity.

What is the difference between Antigen tests and Antibody tests?

An antigen test reveals if a person is infected with a pathogen such as the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Once the infection has gone, the antigen disappears.

An antibody test reveals if a person has already been exposed to an infection, by detecting antibodies in their blood or serum. Antibody tests are not usually used to diagnose current infection as it takes the body some time to produce antibodies.

Which test is this?

This is an antigen test, designed to tell if a person is currently infected.

Does the test have to be administered by a medical professional?

It is not necessary, as these tests are designed for home use. As long as the instructions are followed accurately, the test can be competently administered by anyone.

How accurate is the test?

It is one of the most accurate tests on the market, with 98% minimum accuracy.
