INTENDED USE

The InnoScreenTM COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test Device (Self-test) is a rapid lateral flow immunoassay intended for the qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein antigens from individuals with or without symptoms suspecting a COVID-19 infection. This test is approved for home self use with self-collected direct anterior nasal swab samples from individuals aged 15 years or older or adult collected anterior nasal swab samples from individuals aged 2 years or older. Rapid Antigen testing is less reliable than PCR when testing an asymptomatic patient or testing patients after 7 days of symptom onset as it may produce false negative result. Do not use the test for child under 2 years old. For children 2-15 years old, the test should be performed by an adult.

If the test is being used for testing individuals without symptoms or other epidemiological reasons to suspect COVID-19 infection, testing should be scheduled twice over two (or three) days with at least 24 hours (and no more than 36 hours) between tests. buffer.

INTRODUCTION

COVID-19 is the disease associated with SARS-CoV-2, which was first identified in China at the end of 2019. The virus is transmitted mainly via respiratory droplets that people sneeze, cough, or exhale. The incubation period for COVID-19 is currently estimated at between 2 and 14 days. Common symptoms of COVID-19 infection include fever, cough and respiratory symptoms such as shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. More serious cases develop severe pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, sepsis and septic shock that can lead to the death of the patient. People with existing chronic conditions seem to be more vulnerable to severe illness.

PRINCIPLE

The InnoScreen TM COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test Device is an immunochromatographic membrane assay that uses highly sensitive monoclonal antibodies to detect SARS-CoV-2 viral nucleoprotein antigens in nasal swabs.
