FORA COVID-19 ANTIGEN RAPID TEST (Single Packed)

FORA COVID-19 ANTIGEN RAPID TEST (Single Packed)

 

FORA COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test

A lateral flow immunoassay for the qualitative detection of nucleocapsid protein antigen from SARS-CoV-2. The sample material can be obtained by using a nasal swab during the acute phase of the infection.

The FORA COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test is clinically validated for testing with nasal and nasopharyngeal sample.

 

Benefits

  • NEW: Now available as an individual test for home use (Confirm with your local authority if self-testing is approved within your region)
  • More comfortable sampling from the front of the nose
  • High quality rapid test in just 15 minutes

Clinical Performance
Clinical performance of FORA COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test was determined by testing 100 positive and 242 negative specimens for SARS CoV-2 antigen (Ag) to have a sensitivity of 95.7% (95% CI: 89.3% – 98.3%) and specificity of 99.3% (95% CI: 96.1%-99.9%).

Clear Results Interpretation

Positive

Two colored lines appear: One line in the control line region (C) and one in the test line region (T). The result is positive regardless of the intensity of the T-line. The patient is most likely INFECTED with the COVID-19 infection*.

Negative

A line in the Control line region (C) appears. No line in the Test line region (T). The patient is most likely NOT INFECTED with the COVID-19 infection*.

Invalid

If no line appears in the Control zone (C), the test is invalid.

*No test is ever perfect. All tests occasionally result in false-positive or false-negative results. Sometimes the results are not definitive. For this and other reasons, results should always be reviewed by healthcare professionals. Reference: CDC(2020). Guidance on Interpreting COVID-19 Test Results.
