Healgen® Rapid Check® COVID-19/Flu A&B Antigen Test
One sample. Results in 15 minutes to help differentiate COVID-19, Flu A, or Flu B at home.
When to use: Best used within 5 days of feeling unwell, when symptoms (e.g., fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose) begin.
Intended Use
The Healgen® Rapid Check® COVID-19/Flu A&B Antigen Test 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 in anterior nasal swab samples from individuals with signs and symptoms of respiratory tract infection. Symptoms of respiratory infections due to SARS-CoV-2 and influenza can be similar. This test is for non-prescription home use by individuals aged 14 years or older testing themselves, or adults testing individuals aged 2 years or older. All negative results are presumptive and should be confirmed with a molecular assay when determined to be appropriate by a healthcare provider. Negative results do not rule out infection with influenza and SARS-CoV-2 or other pathogens. Individuals who test negative and experience continued or worsening respiratory symptoms, such as fever, cough and/or shortness of breath, should therefore seek follow-up care from their healthcare provider. Positive results do not rule out co-infection with other respiratory pathogens and therefore do not substitute for a visit to a healthcare provider or appropriate follow-up.
