COVID-19 Antigen
Rapid Test Device
(Nasopharyngeal/Oropharyngeal Swab)

Intended Use
The COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test Device is an in vitro immunoassay. The assay is for the direct and qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 viral nucleoprotein antigens from nasopharyngeal secretions and Oropharyngeal secretions. This test is intended for professional use only.

Principle
The COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test Device detects SARS-CoV-2 viral antigens through visual interpretation of colour development. Anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies are immobilized on the test region of the nitrocellulose membrane. Anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies conjugated to coloured particles are immobilized on the conjugated pad. A sample is added to the extraction buffer which is optimized to release the SARS-CoV-2 antigens from specimen.
During testing, the extracted antigens bind to anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies conjugated to coloured particles. As the specimen migrates along the strip by capillary action and interacts with reagents on the membrane, the complex will be captured by the anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies at the test region. Excess coloured particles are captured at the internal control zone.
The presence of a coloured band in the test region indicates a positive result for the SARS-CoV-2 viral antigens, while its absence indicates a negative result. A coloured band at the control region serves as a procedural control, indicating that the proper volume of specimen has been added and membrane wicking is working.
