Who Can Benefit
The COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test (Latex) is suitable for the qualitative detection of novel coronaviruses in saliva, sputum (each from the posterior oropharyngeal region) and stool specimens. It aids in the diagnosis of infection with new types of coronaviruses. The COVID-19 Antigen rapid test (Latex) is intended to be used in conjunction with clinical manifestations and other laboratory test results to aid in the diagnosis of patients with suspected SARS-CoV-2 infection. The test is to be used only by medical personnel. It provides only an initial screening test result and more specific, alternative diagnostic methods should be performed to obtain confirmation of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
