Results should be considered in the context of an individual’s recent exposures, history, and the presence of clinical signs and symptoms consistent with COVID-19.
NEGATIVE
If the Control (C) line is visible, but the Test (T) line is not visible, the
test is negative. To increase the chance that the negative result for COVID-19
is accurate, you should: – Test again in 48 hours if you have symptoms on the
first day of testing. – Test 2 more times at least 48 hours apart if you do
not have symptoms on the first day of testing.
A negative test result indicates that the virus that causes COVID-19 was not
detected in your sample. A negative result is presumptive, meaning it is not
certain that you do not have COVID-19. You may still have COVID-19 and you may
still be contagious. There is a higher chance of false negative results with
antigen tests compared to laboratory-based tests such as PCR. If you test
negative and continue to experience COVID-19-like symptoms, (e.g., fever,
cough, and/or shortness of breath) you should seek follow up care with your
health care provider.
POSITIVE
If the Control (C) line and the Test (T) line are visible, the test is
positive. Any faint visible red test (T) line with the control line (C) should
be read as positive. You do not need to perform repeat testing if you have a
positive result at any time.
A positive test result means that the virus that causes COVID-19 was detected
in your sample and it is very likely you have COVID-19 and are contagious.
Please contact your doctor/ primary care physician or your local health
authority immediately and adhere to the local guidelines regarding self-
isolation. There is a very small chance that this test can give a positive
result that is incorrect (a false positive).
INVALID
If the control (C) line is not visible, the test is invalid. Re-test with a new swab and new test device.

INTENDED USE
The Speedy Swab Rapid COVID-19 Antigen Self-Test is a lateral flow immunoassay
device intended for the qualitative detection of nucleocapsid protein antigen
from the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This test is authorized for non-prescription home
use with self-collected anterior nasal (nares) swab samples from individuals
aged 14 years or older or adult collected anterior nasal (nares) swab samples
from individuals aged two years or older. This test is authorized for
individuals with symptoms of COVID-19 within the first 6 days of symptom onset
when tested at least twice over three days with at least 48 hours between
tests, and for individuals without symptoms or other epidemiological reasons
to suspect COVID-19, when tested at least three times over five days with at
least 48 hours between tests. The Speedy Swab Rapid COVID-19 Antigen Self-Test
does not differentiate between SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2. Results are for the
identification of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein antigen, which is generally
detectable in anterior nasal (nares) swab specimens during the acute phase of
infection. Positive results indicate the presence of viral antigens, but
clinical correlation with past medical history and other diagnostic
information is necessary to determine infection status. Positive results do
not rule out bacterial infection or co-infection with other viruses. The agent
detected may not be the definite cause of disease. Individuals who test
positive with the Speedy Swab Rapid COVID-19 Antigen SelfTest should self-
isolate and seek follow-up care with their physician or healthcare provider as
additional testing may be necessary. All negative results are presumptive and
confirmation with a molecular assay, if necessary for patient management, may
be performed. Negative results do not rule out SARS-CoV-2 infection and should
not be used as the sole basis for treatment or patient management decisions,
including infection control measures such as isolating from others and wearing
masks. Negative results
should be considered in the context of an individual’s recent exposures,
history, and the presence of clinical signs and symptoms consistent with
COVID-19.
Individuals who test negative and continue to experience COVID-19 like
symptoms of fever, cough and/or shortness of breath may still have SARS-CoV-2
infection and should seek follow up care with their physician or healthcare
provider.
Individuals should provide all results obtained with this product to their
healthcare provider for public health reporting and to receive appropriate
medical care. All healthcare providers will report all test results they
receive from individuals who use the authorized product to relevant public
health authorities in accordance with local, state, and federal requirements
using appropriate LOINC and SNOMED codes, as defined by the Laboratory In
Vitro Diagnostics (LIVD) Test Code Mapping for SARS-CoV-2 Tests provided by
CDC.
The Speedy Swab Rapid COVID-19 Antigen Self-Test is intended for non-
prescription self-use and/or as applicable an adult lay user testing another
person 2 years of age or older in a non-laboratory setting.
The Speedy Swab Rapid COVID-19 Antigen Self-Test is only for use under the
Food and Drug Administration’s Emergency Use Authorization. This product has
not been FDA cleared or approved.
HOW TO USE THIS TEST
Serial testing should be performed in all individuals with negative results;
individuals with symptoms of COVID-19 and initial negative results should be
tested again after 48 hours. Individuals without symptoms of COVID-19, and
with initial negative results, should be tested again after 48 hours and, if
the 2nd test is also negative, a 3rd time after an additional 48 hours. You
may need to purchase additional tests to perform this serial (repeat) testing.
If you test negative but continue to have symptoms of COVID-19, and both your
first and second tests are negative, you may not have COVID-19, however you
should follow-up with your healthcare provider.
If your test is positive, then proteins from the virus that causes COVID-19
have been found in your sample and you likely have COVID-19.

Q: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN ANTIGEN AND
MOLECULAR TEST? A: There are different kinds of tests for the SARS-CoV-2 virus
that causes COVID-19. Molecular tests detect genetic material from the virus.
Antigen tests, such as the Speedy Swab Rapid COVID-19 Antigen Self-Test,
detect proteins from the virus. Due to the lower sensitivity of antigen tests,
there is a higher chance this test will give you a false negative result when
you have COVID-19 than a molecular test would.
Q: HOW ACCURATE IS THIS TEST? A: Clinical studies have shown that antigen
tests more accurately determine whether you are infected with the virus that
causes COVID-19 when taken multiple times across several days. Repeat testing
improves test accuracy. This serial testing approach is recommended to
minimize the risk of incorrect results. For more information on the
performance of the test and how the performance may apply to you, please refer
to the performance data in the Healthcare Provider Instructions for Use (IFU),
available at WWW.SpeedySwab.com.
Q: WHAT IF I HAVE A POSITIVE TEST RESULT? A: A positive result means that it
is very likely you have COVID-19 because proteins from the virus that causes
COVID-19 were found
in your sample. You should self isolate from others and contact a healthcare
provider for medical advice about your positive result.
Q: WHAT IF I HAVE A NEGATIVE TEST RESULT? A: A negative test result indicates
that antigens from the virus that causes COVID-19 were not detected in your
sample. However, if you have symptoms of COVID-19, and your first test is
negative, you should test again in 48 hours since antigen tests are not as
sensitive as molecular tests. If you do not have symptoms and received a
negative result, you should test at least two more times with 48 hours in
between tests for a total of three tests. If you have a negative result, it
does not rule out SARSCoV-2 infection; you may still be infected and you may
still infect others. It is important that you work with your healthcare
provider to help you understand the next steps you should take.
Q: WHAT DOES AN INVALID TEST RESULT MEAN? A: An invalid result means the test
was not able to tell if you have COVID-19 or not. If the test is invalid, a
new swab should be used to collect a new nasal specimen and you should test
again with a new test.
LIMITATIONS
· There is a higher chance of false negative results with antigen tests than
with laboratory-based molecular tests due to the sensitivity of the test
technology. This means that there is a higher chance this test will give a
false negative result in an individual with COVID-19 as compared to a
molecular test, especially in samples with low viral load. · The performance
of this test was established based on the evaluation of a limited number of
clinical specimens collected between January to June, 2022. The clinical
performance has not been established for all circulating variants but is
anticipated to be reflective of the prevalent variants in circulation at the
time and location of the clinical evaluation. Performance at the time of
testing may vary depending on the variants circulating, including newly
emerging strains of SARSCoV-2 and their prevalence, which change over time. ·
All COVID-19 antigen test negative results are presumptive and confirmation
with a molecular assay may be necessary. If you continue to have symptoms of
COVID-19, and both your first and second tests are negative, you may not have
COVID-19, however you should follow-up with a healthcare provider. · If the
test is positive, then proteins from the virus that causes COVID-19 have been
found in the sample and you likely have COVID-19. · This test is read visually
and has not been validated for use by those with impaired vision or color-
impaired vision. · Incorrect test results may occur if a specimen is
incorrectly collected or handled.
IMPORTANT
This test is intended to be used as an aid in the clinical diagnosis of
infection with the virus that causes COVID-19. Do not use this test as the
only guide to manage your illness. Please consult your healthcare provider if
your symptoms persist or become more severe, or if you are concerned at any
time. Individuals should provide all results obtained with this product to
their healthcare provider for public health reporting.
