Intended use of COVID-19 Ag Rapid Test:
The TRUSTline COVID-19 Ag Rapid Test is a lateral flow immunoassay for the qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antigens in nasopharyngeal (NP) swab specimens from individuals who are suspected of COVID-19. This test is an aid to early diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection along with clinical symptoms and other confirmatory assays.
The TRUSTline COVID-19 Ag Rapid Test is intended to be used by trained clinical laboratory personnel specifically instructed and trained in the techniques of in vitro diagnostic procedures.
TRUSTline COVID-19 Ag Rapid Test:
The COVID-19 Ag Rapid Test is a diagnostic tool designed for the qualitative detection of specific antigens related to the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Here are the key details about this test:
- Purpose:
- The test aims to identify the presence of viral antigens directly in a patient’s sample.
- It does not require complex laboratory equipment and provides rapid results.
- Procedure:
- The test uses a lateral flow immunoassay, similar to a pregnancy test.
- A sample (usually from a nasal swab) is applied to the test device.
- If the sample contains SARS-CoV-2 antigens, visible lines appear on the test strip.
- Timing and Accuracy:
- The test is most effective during the early phase of infection when viral antigens are abundant.
- It provides results within 15-30 minutes.
- Usefulness:
- Positive results indicate the presence of SARS-CoV-2 antigens.
- Negative results do not rule out infection and should be considered alongside other clinical information.
- Limitations:
- Antigen tests may have lower sensitivity compared to molecular tests (like PCR).
- False negatives can occur, especially later in the infection.
