Comments
The COVID-19 IgG/IgM Rapid Test is a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of IgG and IgM antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in human whole blood, serum or plasma specimen from patients suspected of COVID-19 infection by a healthcare provider. The COVID-19 IgG/IgM Rapid Test is an aid in the diagnosis of patients with suspected SARS-CoV-2 infection in conjunction with clinical presentation and the results of other laboratory tests. Results from the COVID-19 IgG/IgM Rapid Test should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis. Results are for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. IgM antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 are generally detectable in blood several days after initial infection, although levels over the course of infection are not well characterized. IgG antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 become detectable later following infection. Negative results do not preclude SARS-CoV-2 infection and should not be used as the sole basis for patient management decisions. IgM antibodies may not be detected in the first few days of infection; the sensitivity of the COVID-19 IgG/IgM Rapid Test early after infection is unknown. False positive results for IgM and IgG antibodies may occur due to cross-reactivity from preexisting antibodies or other possible causes.
