FDA Fact Sheet - Health Care Providers
The Assure COVID-19 IgG/IgM Rapid Test Device is a rapid lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay intended for the qualitative detection and differentiation of IgM and IgG antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in human venous whole blood (sodium EDTA), serum, plasma (sodium EDTA) and
fingerstick whole blood.
The Assure COVID-19 IgG/IgM Rapid Test Device is intended for use as an
aid in identifying individuals with an adaptive immune response to SARS-CoV-2, indicating recent or prior infection. At this time, it is unknown for how long antibodies persist following infection and if the presence of antibodies confers protective immunity.
Results are for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. The IgG and IgM antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 are generally detectable in blood several days after initial infection, although the duration of time antibodies are present post-infection is not well characterized. Individuals may have detectable virus present for several weeks following seroconversion.
The sensitivity of Assure COVID-19 IgG/IgM Rapid Test Device early after infection is unknown. Negative results do not preclude acute SARS-CoV-2 infection. If acute infection is suspected, direct testing for SARS-CoV-2 is necessary.
Features/Benefits:
Rapid results in 15 minutes
Fingerstick Wholeblood specimen collection
Detects and differentiates IgM and IgG antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in human venous whole blood (sodium EDTA), serum, plasma (sodium EDTA) and fingerstick whole blood via a lateral flow assay
Test Summary
Test Name:
RAPID Covid-19 Antibody (IgG/IgM) Test
Alias:
Rapid Covid-19 Antibody Test; Covid-19 Antibody Test
Classification:
Authorized by FDA under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for use by authorized laboratories.
Methodology:
Lateral Flow Chromatographic Immunoassay
Reference Range:
Negative
Result Interpretation:
- Positive (Detected) - results are indicative of the detection of IgM and/or IgG antibodies to SARS-CoV-2. This positive result means that an individual has developed an immune response to recent/prior SARS-CoV-2 infection within the limit of detection of the assay.
- Negative (Not Detected) - results indicate that SARS-CoV-2 antibodies (IgG and/or IgM) was/were not detected in the specimen. However, a low level below the level of detection of SARS-CoV-2 Antibodies could be possible. Negative results do not preclude acute SARS-CoV-2 infection. If acute infection is suspected, molecular testing for SARS-CoV-2 is necessary.
- The tests should not be used to diagnose acute SARS-CoV-2 infection.
- The results of the semi-quantitative test should not be interpreted as an indication or degree of immunity or protection from reinfection.
Specimen (Preferred):
Fingerstick Wholeblood
Transport Temperature:
N/A
Storage Condition:
Refrigerated Temperature - up to 7 days
-20 degrees Celsius - DO NOT FREEZE WHOLE BLOOD
Turn Around Time:
Standard - 15 minutes
FDA Emergency Use Authorization
This test has been authorized by the FDA under an EUA for use by authorized laboratories certified under CLIA, that meet requirements to perform moderate or highcomplexity tests. The test has not been FDA cleared or approved. This test has been authorized only for the presence of IgM and IgG antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, not for any other viruses or pathogens.
