The test is intended to be used with direct nasal swabs and is not validated for use with swabs in viral transport media
Kit configured for testing anterior nasal swab samples freshly collected, processed, and dispensed directly onto assay test device
Positive results indicate the presence of viral antigens, but clinical correlation with patient history and other diagnostic information is necessary to determine infection status
Positive results do not rule out bacterial infection or co-infection with other viruses
Laboratories within the United States and its territories are required to report all SARS-CoV-2 results to the appropriate public health authorities
Negative results should be treated as presumptive, do not rule out either Influenza or SARS-CoV-2, and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or patient management decisions, including infection control decisions
Negative results should be considered in the context of a patient’s recent exposures, history and the presence of clinical signs and symptoms consistent with one of these infections
Negative results for SARS-CoV-2 should be confirmed with a molecular assay, if necessary, for patient management
