Evaluation of Clinical Performance and Usability of iStatis COVID-19 Ag Rapid Test at POC

A Study to Evaluate the Clinical Performance, Usability and Readability of the iStatis COVID-19 Ag Rapid Test Performed With Anterior Nasal Swabs

A rapid point of care test for the detection of virus particles will be compared to the FDA approved EUA RT-PCR detection standard. The iStatis COVID-19 Ag Rapid Test is intended for rapid point-of-care detection of the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein antigen.

Primary Objective: To evaluate the Clinical Performance of iStatis COVID-19 Antigen Test by untrained operators at Point of Care settings that meet requirements for CLIA waived tests.

Secondary Objective: To evaluate the performance of iStatis COVID-19 Antigen test around Limit of Detection Samples will be collected in CLIA Waived settings from approximately 200 subjects who present with or are referred for concerns about SARS-CoV-2. The goal is to collect a minimum of N=30 confirmed Covid-19 positive subjects and N=30 confirmed Covid-19 negative subjects of comparable ages, genders, and races.

Individual participation only includes sample collection and 1 day visit for the purpose of study

Inclusion Criteria:

• Age 18 or older
• Subject is suspected case of COVID-19 by clinical criteria: a patient with acute respiratory tract infection (sudden onset of at least one of the following: cough, fever, shortness of breath, fatigue, decreased appetite, myalgia)
• Subjects with above mentioned symptom onset within the 7 days
• Participant is willing to provide two swabs - one anterior nasal swab sample for iStatis Test and another nasopharyngeal or nasal swab sample for comparator RT-PCR testing

Exclusion Criteria:

• Individuals who presented with 8 or greater days of COVID- 19 Related Symptoms, (Fever, Cough, Fatigue, Decreased Appetite, Shortness of Breath, Myalgia) or postdefervescence and/or convalescence
• Any reason as identified by the Principal Investigator at the participating site that could disqualify the subject from participation. The reason for exclusion was documented
• Subject withdraw consent
