SARS-CoV-2
Antigen Test

The LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 Ag Test is a rapid microfluidic immunofluorescence assay for use with the LumiraDx Platform intended for the qualitative detection of the nucleocapsid protein antigens from SARS-CoV-2  in direct anterior nasal swab and nasopharyngeal swab specimens collected by a healthcare provider from individuals who are suspected of COVID-19 within the first twelve (12) days of symptom onset when tested at least twice over three days with at least 48 hours between tests and from individuals without symptoms or other epidemiological reasons to suspect COVID-19 when tested at least three times over five days with at least 48 hours between tests. 

 

Test benefits

The use of a LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 Ag Test on the LumiraDx Instruments will enable the physician to verify infection quickly, begin proper treatment and to initiate isolation precautions helping prevent further spread of infection.

Rapidly identify potentially contagious spreaders on the spot, reducing the risk of a local outbreak.

  • Easy to implement in point of care settings
  • Clinical performance in symptomatic individuals  
    • 97.6% positive percent agreement
    • 96.6% negative percent agreement
  • Analytical performance with a limit of detection of 32 TCID50/mL
  • RT-PCR comparable results within 12 days of onset of symptoms
