Objectives: New molecular tests for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are being rapidly launched in response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Revised section on evaluating the results of antigen tests, introducing a new testing algorithm, and reflecting what has been learned about the performance of antigen tests and the need to implement confirmatory testing. 7Nucleic acid amplification test; confirm within 48 hours using a NAAT, such as RT-PCR, that has been evaluated against FDA’s reference panel for analytical sensitivity Thus, if the person being tested has recently had COVID-19, it is possible for that person to receive a negative antigen test result and a positive confirmatory NAAT, potentially indicating a persistent detection of SARS-CoV-2 after recovery from COVID-19. 1.1. CDC twenty four seven. CDC will update this guidance as more data become available. the proportion of those who have some condition (affected) who are correctly identified as having the condition). Xd.�} L.�����k I�������߃�g`�B�g`��` JI! Antigen tests are immunoassays that detect the presence of a specific viral antigen, which implies current viral infection. See FDA’s In Vitro Diagnostics EUAsexternal icon. Revisions were made on December 5, 2020 including: Note: Antigen tests can be used in a variety of testing strategies to respond to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The clinical performance of the BD Veritor System for Rapid Detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antigen (Veritor), a chromatographic immunoassay used for SARS-CoV-2 point-of-care testing, was evaluated using nasal specimens from individuals with COVID-19 symptoms. When testing a person who is asymptomatic and has had exposure to a person with COVID-19 within the last 14 days, indicating that the pretest probability is moderate, the healthcare provider should confirm a positive antigen test result with an FDA-authorized NAAT. endstream endobj 353 0 obj <. It may be appropriate to confirm antigen test results with another test. Vaginal infections are among the most common reasons for which women in the United States seek medical care–resulting in approximately 10 million visits to physician offices annually. Serial testing, particularly in congregate settings when it has been possible to quarantine persons for 14 days, should not continue indefinitely. The findings of high-throughput genomic sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 are regularly deposited on the global initiative on sharing all influenza data (GISAID) .The development of oligonucleotides (primers and probes) for molecular diagnosis of COVID-19 was initiated as soon as these findings were made public on 10th Jan 2020 , .CDC (USA), China CDC, Charité Germany, Institut … See CDC’s guidance for Quarantine; clinical discretion should determine if and when additional testing is necessary. COVID‐19 patients were more likely to be male (61% vs 20%; P = .0001) ... which had a 71.1% sensitivity and 96.2% specificity against PCR‐confirmed COVID‐19 diagnosis, resulting in 97.2% PPV and 64.6% NPV. ZARAGOZA, Spain and FRANKLIN LAKES, N.J., March 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- CerTest Biotec, along with BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) (NYSE: BDX), a leading global medical technology company, today announced that the VIASURE SARS-CoV-2 Real Time PCR Detection Kit adapted for the BD MAX ™ System has been CE marked to the IVD Directive (98/79/CE). This interim guidance is intended for clinicians who order antigen tests, receive antigen test results, and perform point-of-care testing, as well as for laboratory professionals who perform antigen testing in a laboratory setting or at the point of care and … This means, when you use your BD Veritor™ Plus System you might see 0-2 false positives for every 100 tests you conduct. See CDC’s Indicators and thresholds for risk of introduction and transmission of COVID-19 in schools. 9Isolation is necessary. New section on processing of antigen tests, reflecting what has been learned on how to minimize the risk of false results. The possibility of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) should be considered in patients with compatible symptoms , in particular fever and/or respiratory tract symptoms, who reside in or have traveled to areas with community transmission or who have had recent close contact with a confirmed or suspected case of COVID-19. The “gold standard” for clinical diagnostic detection of SARS-CoV-2 remains NAATs, such as RT-PCR. The Conditions of Authorization in the antigen EUAs specify that CLIA-certified laboratories and testing sites are to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use, typically found in the package insert, when performing the test and reading test results. BioFire’s comprehensive panels provide fast, accurate results, helping to inform faster treatment decisions and relieve anxious patients. 5In certain settings, serial antigen testing could be considered for those with a negative antigen test result; serial testing may not require confirmation of negative results. See CDC’s guidance for Quarantine; clinical discretion should determine if and when additional testing is necessary. Antigen Testing Algorithm – Low Pretest Probability. Chiang et al. The Sofia SARS Antigen FIA, with the Sofia 2 and Sofia analyzers, provides automated and objective results in 15 minutes, allowing for testing of patients suspected of COVID-19/2019-nCoV in near-patient testing environments. Laboratories and testing sites should refer to the instructions for use and the package insert that are specific for the test that they are using regarding the use of VTM. 5. If more than 48 hours separate the two specimen collections, or if there have been opportunities for new exposures, a NAAT should be considered a separate test – not a confirmation of the earlier test. CerTest Biotec launches CE Marked COVID-19 diagnostic test for the BD MAX™ System. See CDC’s Overview of Testing for SARS-CoV-2, and Testing Strategies for SARS-CoV-2. The antigen level in specimens collected either before symptom onset, or late in the course of infection, may be below the limit of detection of virus of the test. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted emergency use authorization (EUA) for antigen tests that can identify SARS-CoV-2. Healthcare professionals can purchase the Sofia SARS Antigen FIA through select authorized distributors. 1Single, multiple, or continuous known exposure to a person with COVID-19 within the last 14 days; perform NAAT first if short turnaround time is available, if person cannot be effectively and safely quarantined, or if there are barriers to possible confirmatory testing Test sensitivity for rapid antigen tests is generally lower than for RT-PCR. You will be subject to the destination website's privacy policy when you follow the link. See FDA’s SARS-CoV-2 Reference Panel Comparative Dataexternal icon. b) Among 4220 patients who were negative on their first testing episode, and subsequently retested, only 85/4220 (2.5%) flipped from negative to positive. The BD MAX system is cleared or approved by the U.S. FDA only when used with BD MAX ™ IVD assays, which have been cleared or approved by the FDA. 3If a symptomatic person has a low likelihood of SARS-CoV-2 infection, clinical discretion should determine if this negative antigen test result requires confirmatory testing Estimates of sensitivity and specificity are all estimates and further evaluations will improve our understanding of these measures. Antigen tests are currently authorized to be performed on nasopharyngeal or nasal swab specimens placed directly into the assay’s extraction buffer or reagent. GU190222 Betacoronavirus Bat coronavirus BM98-01/BGR/2008 GU190223, Betacoronavirus Bat coronavirus BM98-13/BGR/2008 All samples were successfully tested positive by the E gene assay. Any laboratory or testing site that intends to report patient-specific test results must first obtain a CLIA certificate and meet all requirements to perform that testing. FDA regulates in vitro diagnostic devices and has provided recommendations and information regarding EUA requests for COVID-19 diagnostic tests in the Policy for Coronavirus Disease-2019 Tests During the Public Health Emergency (Revised) (“Policy for COVID-19 Tests”)external icon and the EUA templates referenced in that policy. h�b```��,|�� cb���G��Hu�Q8cCĵ�@i��3��8�Uzf�����޵L})��Xe������������������f �(��-b�s�|@, a`���d�x���ٓ9�9��/s��[��S�^��e��������Ľ���3�4#�b -���m���6|��J���gD�@� �c9 See CDC’s guidance for Isolation. Previous reports have indicated that the sensitivity of chest computed tomography (CT) in the diagnosis of COVID-19 may be greater than 90% [1,2]. Regulatory Requirements for Using Antigen Tests for SARS-CoV-2. Confirmatory testing should take place as soon as possible after the antigen test, and not longer than 48 hours after the initial antigen testing. CDC is not responsible for Section 508 compliance (accessibility) on other federal or private website. Testing an asymptomatic person who has had close contact with a person with COVID-19 – moderate pretest probability. 9Isolation is necessary. Over the last two months, UC Davis Health clinical pathology departments were heavily involved in validating molecular COVID tests on four different platforms: AB StepOne Plus, Roche 6800, GenMark and BD Max. Most of the currently authorized tests return results in approximately 15 minutes. 10Quarantine is necessary. A CLIA-certified laboratory or testing site must report antigen diagnostic test results to the local, state, tribal, or territory health department in accordance with Public Law 116-136, § 18115(a), the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. If the person has had exposure, that person should follow infection control measures for 14 days after their most recent exposure to a person with COVID-19. In addition to a SARS-CoV-2 antigen assay for the BD Veritor™ Plus System, BD and a network of partners offer a portfolio of COVID-19 testing solutions including highly sensitive molecular diagnostic tests on the BD MAX™ System. Depending on the circumstances and setting, it may be useful to implement serial antigen testing for persons who receive a negative antigen test result. For example, the performance of antigen tests can be affected if the test components are not stored and handled properly. Widespread COVID-19 testing is paramount for the receipt of timely medical care and for curtailing transmission. If antigen testing returns multiple unexpected positive results, it may be appropriate to stop testing patient specimens, review all procedures, disinfect all surfaces, change gloves, and run control specimens before restarting the testing of patient specimens. Also see CMS’ Enforcement discretion for the use of SARS-CoV-2 point-of-care testing on asymptomatic individualspdf iconexternal icon. See CDC’s guidance on Testing in Nursing Homes, Quarantine and Isolation, Discontinuation of Isolation for Persons with COVID-19 Not in Healthcare Settings, Discontinuation of Transmission-Based Precautions of Patients in Healthcare Settings, and Return to Work for Healthcare Personnel. If the person has a low likelihood of SARS-CoV-2 infection (e.g., no known exposure), clinical judgement should be used to determine whether a confirmatory NAAT should be performed. Confirmatory testing when using antigen tests. The sensitivity of the tests was mostly above 90%, but specificity is more important when checking for evidence of past infection. Clinical judgement should determine if and when additional testing is necessary. See CDC’s guidance on Point-of-Care Testing, and Interim Laboratory Biosafety Guidelines for Handling and Processing Specimens Associated with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). BD MAX ™ women's health and sexually transmitted infections (STI) assays. The first showed that the IgG results displayed a 95% specificity in a cohort of PCR‐confirmed COVID‐19 cases, without comparing the IgG serology results to results obtained with an IgG serology reference method. Refer to the package insert for the correct incubation time for that test, and then monitor and ensure proper timing for each specimen during testing and when reading results. In response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the US Food and Drug Administration issued emergency authorization for use of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) to diagnose COVID-19 [].Despite widespread use of SARS-CoV-2 molecular testing, its clinical sensitivity remains uncertain. Because of concerns about false positive results when pretest probability is low, a positive antigen test result in this circumstance should be followed by a confirmatory NAAT, recognizing that the person will be tested at a later timepoint in their illness if truly infected. This U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)- … 2No known exposure to a person with COVID-19 within the last 14 days Panbio COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test Sell Sheet. Sensitivity and specificity are measures of a test's ability to correctly classify a person as having a disease or not having a disease. Note: Antigen tests can be used in a variety of testing strategies to respond to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. See the antigen testing algorithm when pretest probability is high, Figure 2, which is excerpted directly from the full antigen testing algorithm in Figure 1. And rapid COVID-19 testing is only going to become more widespread. Testing an asymptomatic person with no known exposure to a person with COVID-19 – low pretest probability. For example, users should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, as well as state and local guidance, for when and how often to perform testing on control specimens. They also may be informative in diagnostic testing situations in which the person has a known exposure to a person with COVID-19. Antigen tests can be used for screening testing in high-risk congregate settings in which repeat testing could quickly identify persons with a SARS-CoV-2 infection to inform infection prevention and control measures, thus preventing transmission. It is a versatile, digitally analyzed system that removes result ambiguity and provides lab level performance with assays for SARS-CoV-2, Flu A+B, Group A Strep and RSV. If the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection is not low in the community, clinical judgement should consider whether this negative antigen test result should be followed by a confirmatory NAAT. 4In instances of higher pretest probability, such as high incidence of incidence of infection in the community, clinical discretion should determine if this positive antigen result requires confirmation If the results are discordant between the antigen test and the confirmatory NAAT, in general the confirmatory test result should be interpreted as definitive for the purpose of clinical diagnosis. Clinicians and public health practitioners should understand test performance characteristics to recognize potentially false negative or false positive test results and to guide additional confirmatory testing and patient management. The test leverages the design principles of our current Xpert® Xpress Flu/RSV cartridge technology, in which multiple regions of the viral genome are targeted. BioFire has brought its syndromic approach to COVID-19 testing. ECDC agrees with the minimum performance requirements set by WHO at ≥80% sensitivity and ≥97% specificity. The sensitivity and specificity of the STANDARD Q COVID-19 Ag Test was compared to the site-specific RT-PCR method.The pooled sensitivity in Germany was 76.6% (62.8-86.4%) and the pooled specificitywas 99.3% (98.6-99.6%). Panbio COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test Brochure. See Table 1 for additional information about antigen tests. If the prevalence of infection in the community is high, and the person being tested is symptomatic, then the pretest probability is generally considered high. See CDC’s Options to Reduce Quarantine for guidance on use of antigen testing for this purpose and when a negative antigen test result indicates not infected with SARS-CoV-2. Antigen test results that are reported to public health departments must be clearly distinguished from other COVID-19 tests, such as NAATs and antibody tests. When testing a person who is asymptomatic and has not had known exposure to a person with COVID-19 within the last 14 days, indicating that the pretest probability is low, the healthcare provider generally can interpret a negative antigen test to indicate that the person is not infected with SARS-CoV-2. Laboratory and testing professionals should collect and report complete patient demographic information and ensure that they report antigen test results using the proper LOINC code for their particular FDA-authorized assays. If a specific testing site, such as a nursing home, has a test positivity rate near zero, the prevalence of disease in the community (e.g., cases among the population) should instead be used to help determine pretest probability. See CDC’s guidance for Isolation. However, several studies have documented persistent detection of virus using RT-PCR after recovery; in these cases, the persons did not seem to be infectious to others. For more information, see CMS’ How to Obtain a CLIA Certificatepdf iconexternal icon. Gloves should be changed before collecting, handling, and processing a new specimen in the antigen test system. A CLIA-certified laboratory or testing site must report antigen test results to the individual or the individual’s healthcare provider according to the instructions for use of the FDA-authorized SARS-CoV-2 in vitro diagnostic device that was used. See CDC’s Interim Guidelines for Collecting, Handling, and Testing Clinical Specimens for COVID-19. In the first study, nasal specimens and either … 9Isolation is necessary. The BD Veritor™ Plus System is the portable, easy-to-use testing system that delivers reliable results in just minutes. ZARAGOZA, Spain and FRANKLIN LAKES, N.J., March 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- CerTest Biotec, along with BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) (NYSE: BDX), a leading global medical technology company, today announced that the VIASURE SARS-CoV-2 Real Time PCR Detection Kit adapted for the BD MAX … The purpose of this interim technical guidance is to support effective clinical use of antigen tests for different testing situations. Saving Lives, Protecting People, Recommendations for healthcare providers using SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic tests for screening asymptomatic individuals for COVID-19. See CDC’s guidance for Quarantine; clinical discretion should determine if and when additional testing is necessary. BD clinical studies performed at more than 20 sites across the U.S. demonstrated that the test is capable of achieving 84% sensitivity and 100% specificity, which is in line with the performance from similar immunoassay tests for Flu A/B, RSV and Strep A on the BD Veritor™ Plus System — all of which are widely-used, highly relevant and clinically valid. General Guidance 5In certain settings, serial antigen testing could be considered for those with a negative antigen test result; serial testing may not require confirmation of negative results. Sir John Bell, Regius Professor of Medicine at Oxford University , said: 'The data in this validation report demonstrates that these inexpensive, easy to use tests can play a major role in our fight against COVID 19. Laboratory and testing professionals who perform antigen tests should understand the factors that affect the accuracy of antigen testing, as described in this guidance. The BinaxNOW™ COVID-19 test is a lateral flow test that detects the presence of protein antigens from SARS-CoV-2 in individuals suspected of COVID-19 by their healthcare provider within the first seven days of symptom onset. Currently, the antigen tests that have received EUAs from FDA are authorized for diagnostic testing in symptomatic persons. If the prevalence of infection in the community is low, and the person being tested is asymptomatic and has not had any known contact to a person with COVID-19, then the pretest probability is generally considered low. In addition to a SARS-CoV-2 antigen assay for the BD Veritor™ Plus System, BD and a network of partners offer a portfolio of COVID-19 testing solutions including highly sensitive molecular diagnostic tests on the BD MAX™ System. The currently authorized antigen tests are not restricted to use on persons of a certain age. The molecular test for detection of COVID … See EPA’s List of Disinfectants for COVID-19external icon. Analytic performance may differ from overall performance when considering issues of test availability, quality of specimen collection and transport, and turnaround times of results. BD clinical studies performed at more than 20 sites across the U.S. demonstrated that the test is capable of achieving 84% sensitivity and 100% specificity, which is in line with the performance from similar immunoassay tests for Flu A/B, RSV and Strep A on the BD Veritor™ Plus System — all of which are widely-used, highly relevant and clinically valid. Serial antigen testing within a closed congregate setting, such as a long-term care facility or a correctional or detention facility, could quickly identify someone with a SARS-CoV-2 infection and prevent further transmission. All BD COVID-19 diagnostic products have EUA and BD intends to pursue 510(k) clearance with the FDA at a later time. 10Quarantine is necessary. Facilities should refer to CDC’s LOINC In Vitro Diagnostic (LIVD) Test Code Mapping for SARS-CoV-2 Tests. State health departments generally publish COVID-19 data on testing positivity rates and case rates for their communities. In instances of higher pretest probability, such as high incidence of infection in the community, or a person with household or continuous contact to a person with COVID-19, clinical judgement should determine if a positive antigen result for an asymptomatic person should be followed by a confirmatory NAAT. Laboratory and testing professionals who conduct diagnostic or screening testing for SARS-CoV-2 with antigen tests must also comply with Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) regulations. “I am very proud of our clinical pathology teams, who have worked tirelessly to get our essential COVID-19 tests validated and available to our patients, employees and community,” said Iyda … In most cases, the manufacturers’ instructions for use of antigen tests indicate that negative test results should be considered “presumptive,” meaning that they are preliminary results. Reporting Antigen Test Results for SARS-CoV-2 to Health Departments and Patients. Third, colchicine is the drug of choice for the prevention of recurrent mucocutaneous lesions of BD. Despite the high specificity of antigen tests, false positive results will occur, especially when used in communities where the prevalence of infection is low – a circumstance that is true for all in vitro diagnostic tests. 3If a symptomatic person has a low likelihood of SARS-CoV-2 infection, clinical discretion should determine if this negative antigen test result requires confirmatory testing Figure 2. Xpert® Xpress SARS-CoV-2* Cepheid has developed an automated molecular test for the qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Two of our patients were receiving immunosuppressive agents at COVID diagnosis. (i) Limit of detection. They should never be frozen and should always be brought to room temperature (15-30°C) before use.
