Roche SARS‐CoV‐2 (COVID-19) Rapid Nasal Lateral Flow Diagnostic Antigen Test (Box of 25 Tests)
In comparison to the existing Roche SARS-CoV-2 Rapid Antigen Test, the SARS-CoV-2 Rapid Antigen Test Nasal collects the sample from the front area of the nose instead of the nasopharynx, resulting in a simplified, more comfortable and faster testing procedure(1).
This testing method can help to reduce overall patient discomfort, particularly in sensitive individuals such as children, elderly people and/or people with disabilities.
Besides being less invasive, the test also provides patients with the option to self-collect their nasal sample under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Through reduced physical contact, this method of testing can help to decrease the risk of exposure to the virus for healthcare professionals. Whether the test could also be used without supervision of a healthcare professional will depend on local regulatory requirements.
Rapid Point of Care testing for SARS-CoV-2 antigens with results in 15-30 minutes
Fast triaging and decision making to help control further virus spreading
Support healthcare systems with the strategy to perform extensive testing
Highly accurate: 98.6% Specificity / 90.6% Sensitivity
Less invasive and more convenient testing
Reduced patient discomfort for sensitive individuals such as children or elderly people
Simplified and faster testing procedure
Supervised self-collection of samples upon preference of tested individuals
Increase protection of healthcare workers
Reduced risk of coughing and sneezing during specimen collection
Supervised self-collection to keep a physical distance between HCP and patient
Reduced duration of sampling procedure
The SARS-CoV-2 Rapid Antigen Test Nasal is able to quickly and reliably
detect specific antigen of SARS-CoV-2 in 15 minutes with a specificity of
98.6 % and a sensitivity of 90.6 % (Ct ≤ 30). At Roche Diagnostics we
believe wide accessibility to such high-performance, instrument-free and
reliable Point of Care tests can contribute significantly to better managing the ongoing pandemic crisis.
In collaboration with our partner, SD Biosensor, Roche is planning on an accelerated distribution in large quantities around the world, responding to the increasing need for testing where it is needed.
The following components are included in the kit:
Test device (individually in a foil pouch with desiccant)
Extraction buffer tube and buffer tube rack
Nozzle cap
Sterile swab
