Test Kit Solana® Molecular Diagnostic SARS-CoV-2 Nasal Swab Sample 96 Tests

Testing is limited to laboratories certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA), 42 U.S.C. §263a, to perform high or moderate complexity tests

The Solana SARS-CoV-2 Assay is an isothermal Reverse Transcriptase - Helicase-Dependent Amplification (RT-HDA) assay intended for the qualitative detection of nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2 in nasopharyngeal (NP) and nasal (NS) swab specimens from individuals suspected of COVID-19 by their healthcare provider

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

Laboratories within the United States and its territories are required to report all results to the appropriate public health authorities

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

The Solana SARS-CoV-2 Assay is intended for use by laboratory personnel who have received specific training on the use of the Solana SARS-CoV-2 Assay and/or the Solana Instrument

The assay consists of two major steps: (1) specimen preparation, and (2) amplification and detection of target sequences specific to SARS-CoV-2 using isothermal Reverse Transcriptase — Helicase-Dependent Amplification (RT-HDA) in the presence of target-specific fluorescence probes which is performed in the Solana instrument
