## Indications for use
Alinity m SARS-CoV-2 is a real-time in vitro reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay for use with the automated Alinity m System for the qualitative detection of nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2 from patients with signs and symptoms of COVID-19 in nasopharyngeal (NP) swab and anterior nasal swab (ANS) specimens. Results are for the detection and identification of SARS-CoV-2 RNA. Alinity m SARS-CoV-2 assay is intended for use as an aid in the diagnosis of COVID-19 if used in conjunction with other clinical, epidemiologic, and laboratory findings. Positive results are indicative of the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA; clinical correlation with patient history and other diagnostic information is necessary to determine patient infection status. Positive results do not rule out bacterial infection or co-infection with other viruses. Negative results do not preclude SARS-CoV-2 infection and should not be used as the sole basis for patient management decisions. Negative results must be combined with clinical observations, patient history, and epidemiological information.
