Testing is limited to laboratories certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA), 42 U.S.C. §263a, that meet the requirements to perform moderate, high or waived complexity tests
This test is authorized for use at the Point of Care (POC), i.e., in patient care settings operating under a CLIA Certificate of Waiver, Certificate of Compliance, or Certificate of Accreditation
The SARS Antigen FIA does not differentiate between SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2
Positive results indicate the presence of viral antigens, but clinical correlation with patient history and other diagnostic information is necessary to determine infection status
Positive results do not rule out bacterial infection or co-infection with other viruses; the agent detected may not be the definite cause of disease
Laboratories within the United States and its territories are required to report all positive results to the appropriate public health authorities
Negative results do not rule out COVID-19 and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or patient management decisions, including infection control decisions
Negative results should be considered in the context of a patient’s recent exposures, history and the presence of clinical signs and symptoms consistent with COVID-19
Rapid results in 15 minutes to support efficient dispositioning of patients
Objective, accurate results without cross-reactivity to seasonal coronaviruses
The Sofia SARS Antigen FIA is a lateral flow immunofluorescent sandwich assay that is used with the Sofia and Sofia 2 instrument
Seamless test workflow follows a similar format to CLIA-waived Sofia and Sofia 2 assays
