Genabio COVID-19 Rapid Self-Test Kit FAQs
What are the known potential risks and benefits of this test?
Potential risks include: • Possible discomfort during sample collection. • Possible incorrect test results (see Result Interpretation section).
Potential benefits include: • The results, along with other information, can help you and your healthcare provider make informed decisions about your care. • The results of this test may help limit the spread of COVID-19 to your family and others in your community.
Will this test hurt?
No, the nasal swab is not sharp and it should not hurt. Sometimes the swab can feel slightly uncomfortable or tickly. If you feel pain, please stop the test and seek advice from a healthcare provider.
What is serial testing?
Serial testing is when one person tests themselves multiple times for COVID-19 on a routine basis, such as every day or every other day. By testing more frequently, you may detect COVID-19 more quickly and reduce spread of infection. Serial testing (i.e., testing every day or every other day) is more likely to detect COVID-19. If you do not have any symptoms, testing should be performed at least twice over three days, with at least 24 hours and no more than 48 hours between tests. You may need to purchase additional tests to perform this serial (repeat) testing.
How accurate is this test?
Based on the interim results of a clinical study where the COVID-19 Antigen Self-Test was compared to an FDA authorized high sensitivity SARS-CoV-2 test, COVID-19 Antigen Self-Test correctly identified 91.89% of positive specimens and 100% of negative specimens. The performance of this test is still being studied in patients without signs and symptoms of respiratory infection and for serial screening. Performance may differ in these populations. Based on this information, negative results may require additional testing to confirm your result. Please talk to your healthcare provider to determine if you need additional testing.
What if I have a positive test result?
A positive result means that it is very likely you have COVID-19 because proteins from the virus that causes COVID-19 were found in your sample. You should self-isolate from others and contact a healthcare provider for medical advice about your positive result. Your healthcare provider will work with you to determine how best to care for you based on your test result, medical history, and symptoms.
What if I have a negative test result?
A negative test result indicates that antigens from the virus that causes COVID-19 were not found in your sample. If you do not have symptoms, you should test again in 24 to 48 hours. If you receive a second negative result 24 to 48 hours after your first negative result, then you are likely not infected with COVID-19. However, negative results do not rule out SARS-CoV-2 infection. It is possible for this test to give a negative result that is incorrect (false negative) in some people with COVID-19. This means that you could possibly still have COVID-19 even though the test is negative. For example, you may get a false negative result if you did not perform the test correctly or if the level of antigen from the virus causing COVID-19 was below the limit of detection. The amount of antigen in a sample may decrease the longer you have symptoms of infection. If you test negative and continue to experience symptoms of fever, cough and/or shortness of breath you should seek follow up care with your healthcare provider.
What does an invalid test result mean?
If no control line shows up on the test, the result is invalid (even if any test line shows up). An invalid result means the test was not able to tell if you have COVID-19 or not. If the test is invalid, a new swab should be used to collect a new nasal specimen and the test should be run again, using all new test components.
