Description
The rapid coronavirus antigen test (SARS-COV-2) is a fast chromatographic immunoassay (migration) for qualitative detection of SAR-COV-2 antigens present in human saliva.
Positive results indicate the presence of viral antigen but a clinical correlation with the patient’s history and other diagnostic information is necessary to determine the infectious status. Positive results do not exclude bacterial infection or co-infection with other viruses. The detected agent may not be the precise cause of the disease. Negative results do not exclude an infection with SARS-COV-2 and should not be used as the only decision base for the treatment or care of the patient. Negative results should be treated as presumptions and confirmed by a molecular test, if necessary for the care of the patient. Negative results should be considered in the context of the patient’s recent exhibitions, his background and the presence of clinical signs and symptoms that are compatible with CIVID-19.
- Reliable: The test is very sensitive and specific to SARS-COV-2.
- Fast: Fast test time of 15 min.
- Practice: No use of invasive nasopharyngeal swabs.
- Simple: no specialized equipment is required.
