• The VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products SARS-CoV-2 Antigen test is a chemiluminescent immunoassay intended for the qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antigens in nasopharyngeal (NP) specimens from individuals who are suspected of COVID-19 by their healthcare provider within one to six days of the onset of symptoms using the VITROS 3600 Immunodiagnostic System and the VITROS 5600/XT 7600 Integrated Systems
• 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
• Laboratories within the United States and its territories are required to report all positive results to the appropriate public health authorities
• Negative results from patients with symptom onset outside of one to six days should be treated as presumptive
• Negative results do not rule out SARS-CoV-2 infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or patient management decisions, including infection control decisions
• Negative results should be considered in the context of a patient’s recent exposures, history and the presence of clinical signs and symptoms consistent with COVID-19
• 1 extraction buffer pack containing: 4 bottles of VITROS SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Extraction Buffer (28 mL) with antimicrobial agent
• Rx only; For in vitro diagnostic and laboratory professional use
