CoviFind Covid 19 Antigen Self Test

CoviFind Covid 19 Antigen Self Test is an in-vitro diagnostics immunochromatographic rapid test kit, specially crafted for the qualitative detection of Sars-Cov 2 specific antigen in nasal swab specimens from symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals.

The test is authorized and intended for non-prescription home use as a self-test with self-collected nasal specimens from individuals aged 18 years or older and with adult collected nasal specimens from individuals aged 2 years or older. This test can be used as an aid in the diagnosis of SARS-Cov-2 infections.

A positive test result should be considered as a true positive. However, negative results must be combined with clinical observations, patient history, and epidemiological information.

In the meantime, such individual will be urged to follow home isolation and treatment as a negative report on RAT may not be true negative in some cases.
