Clinical Validation of an At-Home Flu A/B and COVID-19 Rapid Test

Human Factors and Clinical Validation of the CorDx Tyfast Flu A/B & COVID-19 At Home Multiplex Rapid Test Using Anterior Nares Nasal Samples for Over-The-Counter (OTC) Use

The study's primary objective is to evaluate the performance of the CorDx Tyfast Flu A/B & COVID-19 At-Home Test for detecting SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A, and B in nasal samples collected by lay users, compared to 510(k)-cleared RT-PCR tests. Secondary objectives are to assess usability and instruction comprehension and reproducibility with untrained operators at Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)-waived sites.
