Product Specifications
Description
The Atellica® IM SARS-CoV-2 Antigen (CoV2Ag) assay is a chemiluminescent immunoassay intended for the qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antigen in anterior nasal (AN) swab specimens collected in Siemens Healthineers Sample Inactivation Media, from individuals who are suspected of COVID-19 by their healthcare provider within the first 7 days of symptom onset, using the Atellica® IM Analyzer
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 or high complexity tests
The Atellica IM SARS-CoV-2 Antigen (CoV2Ag) assay 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
Laboratories within the United States and its territories are required to report all results to the appropriate public health authorities
Negative results should be treated as presumptive and confirmation with a molecular assay, if necessary, for patient management may be performed; negative results do not rule out SARS-CoV-2 infection 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
The Atellica IM SARS-CoV-2 Antigen (CoV2Ag) assay is intended for use by trained clinical laboratory personnel specifically instructed and trained in in vitro diagnostic procedures and proper infection control procedures
