COVID-19/Flu A&B Ag Combo Rapid Test Cassette (Swab)

The Healgen^® COVID-19/Flu A&B Ag Combo Rapid Test Cassette (Swab) is a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay intended for the qualitative detection and differentiation of influenza A, and influenza B nucleoprotein antigens and SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antigen directly from anterior nasal swab specimens of individuals with signs and symptoms of respiratory infection consistent with COVID-19 by their healthcare provider within the first 5 days of symptom onset when tested at least twice over three days with at least 48 hours between tests. Clinical signs and symptoms of respiratory viral infection due to SARS-CoV-2 and influenza can be similar.

For Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) only*

For in vitro diagnostic use

For Prescription Use Only

Testing is limited to laboratories certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA), 42 U.S.C. § 263a, that meet the requirements to perform moderate, high, or waived complexity tests. This test is authorized for use at the Point of Care (POC), i.e., in patient care settings operating under a CLIA Certificate of Waiver, Certificate of Compliance, or Certificate of Accreditation.

Results are for the in vitro detection and differentiation ofSARS-CoV-2, influenza A virus, and influenza B virus protein antigens, but do not differentiate, between SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 viruses and are not intended to detect influenza C antigens.

These viral antigens are generally detectable in anterior nasal swab specimens during the acute phase of infection. Positive results indicate the presence of viral antigens, but clinical correlation with patient history and other diagnostic information is necessary to determine infection status. Positive results do not rule out bacterial infection or co-infection with other viruses. The agent detected may not be the definite cause of the disease.

All negative results are presumptive and should be confirmed with a molecular assay, if necessary, for patient management. Negative results do not rule out influenza or SARS-CoV-2 infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or patient management decisions, including infection control measures such as isolating from others and wearing masks. Negative results should be considered in the context of an individual’s recent exposures, history, and the presence of clinical signs and symptoms consistent with each respiratory infection.
