How the Test Works

The test detects the presence of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein antigens in samples taken from individuals with suspected infection. It is important to note that:

• The test is most effective during the acute phase of infection, when the antigen is generally detectable in upper respiratory tract swabs.


• Positive results indicate the presence of viral antigens, but must be interpreted in combination with the patient's clinical history and other diagnostic tests.


• Negative results do not completely rule out SARS-CoV-2 infection and should be confirmed by molecular tests if necessary.

Indications and Limitations

It is essential to consider the following indications and limitations when using the test:

• Positive results do not rule out the possibility of bacterial infections or co-infections with other viruses.


• Negative results should be treated as preliminary and evaluated in relation to recent exposures, the patient's medical history, and clinical symptoms compatible with COVID-19.
