The COVID-19 Antigen Detection Kit (Colloidal Gold)) is a qualitative membrane-based immunoassay for the detection of
SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein antigens in human nasal swab specimen. This is dedicated for medical laypersons (aged
18 and over) as a self-test. If the test is to be used on children or adolescents under the age of 18, it must be done under the
supervision of an adult. This test can be performed in individuals who have experienced typical SARS-CoV-2-like symptoms:
fever, cough, headache, sore throat, loss of taste and smell, etc. The test is just for COVID-19 as an auxiliary diagnostic tool.
Positive results indicate the presence of viral antigens, but a clinical correlation with the patient's medical history and other
diagnostic information is required to test infection status. Positive results do not rule out bacterial infections or co-infections
with other viruses.
Negative results do not rule out the possibility of infection. People who test negative but still have symptoms similar to
COVID should contact their doctor/general practitioner for further diagnosis.
