Read the full statement (240 words)
The BinaxNOW COVID-19 Antigen Self Test is a visually read lateral flow immunoassay intended for the rapid, qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein antigens directly in anterior nasal (nares) swab specimens from individuals with signs and symptoms of COVID-19. This test is for non-prescription home use by individuals aged 15 years or older testing themselves, or adults testing individuals aged 2 years or older.
All negative results are presumptive. Symptomatic individuals with an initial negative test result must be re-tested once between 48 and 72 hours after the first test using either an antigen test or a molecular test for SARS-CoV-2. Negative results do not preclude SARS-CoV-2 infections or other pathogens and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment.
Positive results do not rule out co-infection with other respiratory pathogens.
This test is not a substitute for visits to a healthcare provider or appropriate follow-up and should not be used to determine any treatments without provider supervision. Individuals who test negative and experience continued or worsening COVID-19 like symptoms, such as fever, cough and/or shortness of breath, should seek follow up care from their healthcare provider.
The performance characteristics for SARS-CoV-2 were established from November, 2020 to July, 2022, when SARS-CoV-2 Delta and Omicron were dominant. Test accuracy may change as new SARS-CoV-2 viruses emerge. Additional testing with a lab-based molecular test (e.g., PCR) should be considered in situations where a new virus or variant is suspected.
Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
