Yes. This test is authorized for non-prescription home use with self-collected nasal swab specimens from individuals aged 18 years and older or with adult-collected nasal swab samples from individuals aged 2 years or older.

For positive results, if both the quality control line C and the test line T appears, novel coronavirus antigen has been detected and the result is positive. This takes up to 10-15 minutes for the results to appear.

Positive results indicate the presence of viral antigens. Individuals who test positive with CoviSelf COVID-19 Antigen Test should self-isolate and seek follow up care with their physician or healthcare provider as additional testing may be necessary.
For Positive Test:
A positive test should be considered as true positive and does not need reconfirmation by the RT-PCR test.

For negative results, if there is only a quality control line C and the test line T does not appear, this indicates that novel coronavirus antigen has not been detected and the result is negative. This usually takes up to 15-20 minutes to confirm the negative result.

For Negative test:
Symptomatic individuals identified negative by Rapid Antigen Test should be linked with RT-PCR test facility and subsequently get tested by RT-PCR to rule out infection. In the meantime, such individuals will be urged to follow home isolation and treatment as a negative report on Rapid Antigen Test may not be true negative in some cases.

Molecular test (also known as RT-PCR tests) detect the genetic material of the virus. Antigen tests detect proteins from the virus. Antigen tests are very specific for the virus, but are not as sensitive as molecular tests.
This means that a positive result is highly accurate, but a negative result does not rule out infection. If your test result is negative, you should discuss with your healthcare provider whether an additional molecular test would help with your care, and when you should discontinue home isolation.
