How accurate is the test?

A clinical evaluation was conducted comparing the results obtained using the COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test Cassette (Nasal Swab) to PCR. Specimens were considered positive if PCR indicated a positive result.

– For 103 cases of PCR positive, the Relative Sensitivity the COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test Cassette (Nasal Swab) is 93.2% (96/103).
– For 250 cases of PCR negative, the Relative Specificity of COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test Cassette (Nasal Swab) is 99.2% (248/250).
– For 103 cases of PCR positive and 250 cases of PCR negative, the Relative Accuracy of COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test Cassette (Nasal Swab) is 97.5% (344/353).

A usability study was performed by lay person, 150 subjected were enrolled and self-tested with package insert and quick reference guide only, relative sensitivity was 93.75% (30/32), relative specificity was 99.12% (112/113). The results showed that the labeling provided with the test kit was comprehensive for its intended population, the ease of use was suitable for its intended population.

Detection Limit: The detection limit for the COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test Cassette (Nasal Swab) is 1000 TCID50 /mL.

Will this test hurt?

No, the nasal swab is not sharp and it should not hurt. Sometimes the swab can feel slightly uncomfortable or tickly. If you feel pain, please stop the test and seek advice from a healthcare provider.

I have a nosebleed after swabbing my nose. What should I do?
In the unlikely event your nose starts bleeding, apply pressure to your nose until the bleeding stops and consult a healthcare professional. Do not insert the Swab again.

How do I know that the test was run properly?

A procedural control is included in the test. A colored line appearing in the control line region (C) is considered an internal procedural control. It confirms adequate membrane wicking.

What should I do if the result shows positive?

You must take a laboratory PCR test immediately, self-isolate and contact your local health authority or the National Coronavirus Helpline on 1800 020 080 for further advice. You should also inform the immediate contacts you have had in past 24 hours so they can take any appropriate precautions.

What should I do if the result shows negative?

Negative results may require additional testing to confirm your results if you are symptomatic. If symptomatic, continue antigen testing every 24 hours for 3 days or take a laboratory PCR test. If asymptomatic, it is likely that you were not infectious at the time the test was taken. A negative test result, however, is not a guarantee that you do not have coronavirus. Please continue to follow social distancing, washing hands regularly and wearing masks as directed.
