The WELLlife COVID-19 Antigen Test Rx is a visually read lateral flow immunoassay test intended for the qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 virus nucleocapsid protein antigen directly in anterior nasal swab specimens from individuals with signs and symptoms of upper respiratory infection. The test is intended for use as an aid in the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infections (COVID-19) in symptomatic individuals when either: tested at least twice over three days with at least 48 hours between tests; or when tested once, and negative by the WELLlife COVID-19 Antigen Test Rx and followed with a molecular test.

A negative test result is presumptive, and does not preclude SARS-CoV-2 infection; it is recommended these results be confirmed by a molecular SARS-CoV-2 assay.

Positive results do not rule out co-infection with other respiratory pathogens and should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, treatment, or other patient management decisions.

Performance characteristics for SARS-CoV-2 were established from April 2023 to February 2024 when SARS-CoV-2 Omicron was dominant. When other SARS-CoV-2 virus variants are emerging, performance characteristics may vary.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
