The purpose of this study is to evaluate the usability of the CareSuperb COVID-19 Antigen Home Test in Home Use.

COVID-19 is a contagious respiratory illness, caused by infection with the novel coronavirus Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). This communicable disease is easily transmitted through aerosolized droplets containing the infectious virus. Infections with SARS-CoV-2 can have varying degrees of signs and symptoms, ranging from asymptomatic to severe. Individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 are believed to be contagious from as early as two days prior to symptom onset to at least ten days after the onset of symptoms. The rapid detection of infections and contacts and the implementation of infection control measures are critical for mitigation of this virus.

The CareSuperb COVID-19 Antigen Home Test is a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay intended for the qualitative detection of the nucleocapsid protein antigen from SARS-CoV-2 from individuals with or without symptoms or other epidemiological reasons to suspect a COVID-19 infection. This kit is intended for non-prescription home use with self-collected direct anterior nares swab samples from individuals ages 14 years and older or adult lay user-collected anterior nares swab samples from individuals aged 2 to 13 years.
