Clinical Performance
The performance of Flowflex COVID-19 Antigen Home Test was established in an all-comers clinical study conducted between March 2021 and May 2021 with 172 nasal swabs self-collected or pair-collected by another study participant from 108 individual symptomatic patients (within 7 days of onset) suspected of COVID-19 and 64 asymptomatic patients. The Flowflex COVID-19 Antigen Home Test results were compared to an FDA EUA RT-PCR COVID-19 assay to determine test performance in the table below:
Analytical Sensitivity: Limit of Detection (LoD) : LoD was determined as the lowest virus concentration that was detected ≥ 95% of the time. Based on this testing, the LoD in nasal matrix was confirmed to be 2.5 x 103 TCID50/mL
