HOW TO USE THE INTELISWAB™ COVID-19 RAPID TEST Rx
-
YOU WILL NEED A WAY TO TIME THE TEST.
-
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water for 20 seconds before starting the test.
-
Kit contains a two-part pouch, Instructions for Use (in English and Spanish), Positive Result Reference Card, and test stand.
-
Pick up the two-part pouch.
-
Tear open the pouch containing the tube and remove it.
-
With the tube in an upright position, gently rock the cap back and forth to remove it. DO NOT twist. DO NOT pour out the liquid. DO NOT drink.
Slide the tube into the test stand on a flat sturdy surface. DO NOT force from the front as splashing may occur. The tube should rest at an angle on the bottom of the stand. If the solution spills you will need a new test.
-
Blow your nose into a tissue. If assisting someone, instruct them to blow their nose. DO NOT use a tissue to clear out nasal passages. Discard tissue and wash hands thoroughly. Dry hands before starting the collection.
-
Tear open the pouch containing the test device and remove it.
-
DO NOT touch the flat pad with your fingers.
-
DO NOT eat or swallow the preservative. If the preservative is not present, DO NOT use the test.
-
Insert a flat pad of the device inside the nostril. Circle around the nostril 15 times while maintaining contact with the inside wall of the nostril. SWAB BOTH NOSTRILS (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2). If you are conducting the test on someone who requires assistance, proceed by swabbing the individual.
If you do not swab both nostrils 15 times each, you may get a false result. -
Hold the test stand on a flat surface and insert the flat pad of the device into the tube. Stir 10 times to mix the sample with the liquid in the tube. Make sure the flat pad is toward the back of the tube so it contacts the liquid. Swirling the device less than 10 times may cause invalid results.
-
After mixing, leave the device in the tube. Make sure the flat pad is touching the bottom of the tube and the result window is facing you. Start your timer for 30 minutes. DO NOT remove the device from tube while the test is running. A pink background will pass through the result window as the test is working.
-
Read results between 30 and 40 minutes. To obtain an accurate result, DO NOT read before 30 minutes or after 40 minutes.
Reading before 30 minutes may cause false-negative results.
INTERPRETING RESULTS: Read test results in a well-lit area.
Note: The line next to the “C” does not show that an adequate sample has been collected. POSITIVE RESULT
- Refer to the Positive Result Reference Card provided for more examples of positive test results. This card will help you see how faint the test line can appear.
- The test is POSITIVE if:
- there is a reddish-purple line next to the “T” and NO reddish-purple line next to the “C”
- there is a reddish-purple line next to the “T” and a reddish-purple line next to the “C”, even if the “C” line is faint
- there is a faint reddish-purple line next to the “T” and a reddish-purple line next to the “C”
You need to quarantine so you do not infect others.
NEGATIVE RESULT
READING BEFORE 30 MINUTES MAY CAUSE A FALSE-NEGATIVE RESULT.
- The test is NEGATIVE if:
- there is a reddish-purple line next to the “C” and NO reddish-purple line next to the “T” There must be a line next to the “C” to be able to interpret a negative result.
As soon as possible . . .
Call your healthcare provider or the prescribing doctor to report your
result.
If you have emergency warning signs such as trouble breathing, persistent pain
or pressure in the chest, new confusion, inability to wake or stay awake or
bluish lips or face,
call 911 or go to the closest Emergency Room.
As soon as possible . . .
Call your healthcare provider or the prescribing doctor to report your
result.
If your result is negative but you have signs and symptoms of COVID-19,
contact your healthcare provider for additional testing.
INVALID RESULT
- The test is not working and should be repeated if:
- no lines are present
- the line next to the “T” or the line next to the “C” is not complete (all the way across the window), or
- a reddish-purple background makes it impossible to read the test after 30 minutes
You will need to obtain another test.
The test did NOT work properly.
Call your healthcare provider or the prescribing doctor to receive a new test
kit.

INTENDED USE
The InteliSwab COVID-19 Rapid Test Rx is a single-use lateral flow immunoassay
with an integrated swab, intended for the qualitative detection of the
nucleocapsid protein antigen from SARS-CoV-2. This test is authorized for
prescription home use with self-collection (unobserved) of anterior nasal
samples from individuals 18 years or older or adult collected anterior nasal
samples from individuals age 15 years or older who are suspected of COVID-19
infection by their healthcare provider within the first seven (7) days of
symptom onset.
The InteliSwab COVID-19 Rapid Test Rx does not differentiate between SARS-
CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2.
Results are for the identification of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein antigen.
The antigen is generally detectable in anterior nasal samples during the acute
phase of infection. Positive results indicate the presence of viral antigens,
but clinical correlation with patient history and other diagnostic information
is necessary to determine infection status. Positive results do not rule out
bacterial infection or coinfection with other viruses and the agent detected
may not be the definite cause of disease. Individuals who test positive should
self-isolate and seek additional care from their healthcare provider.
Negative results should be treated as presumptive and confirmation with the
molecular assay, if necessary, for patient management, may be performed.
Negative results do not rule out COVID-19 and should not be used as the sole
basis for treatment or patient management decisions, including infection
control decisions. Negative results should be considered in the context of a
patient’s recent exposures, history, and the presence of clinical signs and
symptoms consistent with COVID-19. Persons 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 to follow up care with
their physician or healthcare provide
All prescribing 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 HYPERLINK
“https://www.cdc.gov/csels/dls/sars-cov-2-livd-codes.html” Laboratory In
Vitro Diagnostics (LIVD) Test Code Mapping for SARS-CoV-2 Tests provided by
CDC.
The InteliSwab COVID-19 Rapid Test Rx is intended for prescription self-use
and/or, as applicable for an adult lay user testing another person aged 15
years or older in a non-laboratory setting. The InteliSwab COVID-19 Rapid Test
Rx is only for use under the Food and Drug Administration’s Emergency Use
Authorization.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
- What is COVID-19? COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) is a contagious virus that may cause mild to severe respiratory illness, affecting other organs and systems potentially resulting in hospitalization or death. The presence of a specific antigen (the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein antigen) indicates that an individual is currently infected with COVID-19 (even without the presence of symptoms) and can transmit the virus.
What are common symptoms
of COVID-19? Symptoms of COVID-19 may appear 2-14 days after exposure and
may include fever, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, muscle or body aches,
headache, loss
of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion, or a runny nose, nausea or
vomiting and diarrhea. It is also possible for someone infected with COVID-19
to have no symptoms.
-
What is the difference between a COVID-19 antigen, a molecular and an antibody test, and what kind of test is the InteliSwab™ COVID-19 Rapid Test?
There are different kinds of tests for diagnosing COVID-19. The InteliSwab™ COVID-19 Rapid Test Rx is an antigen test. Antigen tests detect proteins, small parts, from the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Antigen tests are designed to detect virus levels that reflect active infection. Molecular tests
(also known as PCR tests) detect genetic material from the virus (RNA). Another type of test is an antibody test. A COVID-19 antibody test detects antibodies that have
been made by your immune system in response to a previous COVID-19 infection. Antibody tests are not suitable to diagnose an active COVID-19 infection. -
What are the known and potential risks and benefits of this test?
Potential risks include:
Possible discomfort during sample
collection.
Possible incorrect results.
Potential benefits include:
The results, along with other information, can help your healthcare provider
make informed recommendations about your care.
The results of this test may help limit the spread of COVID-19 to your family
and others in your community.
You have the option to refuse this test. However, your doctor has prescribed
this test because they believe it could help with your care.
-
How accurate is the InteliSwab™ COVID-19 Rapid Test Rx?
The InteliSwab™ COVID-19 Rapid Test Rx is a lateral flow in vitro diagnostic antigen test to detect COVID-19. Antigen tests are designed to detect active infection in
individuals. A clinical study was conducted during February and April of 2021 to determine the performance of the InteliSwab™ COVID-19 Rapid Test Rx. A total of 146 individuals with signs and symptoms of COVID-19 within the first 7 days of symptom onset were enrolled across 5 different locations in the US. Subjects 18 years or older independently collected the lower nasal sample and completed the home use test. The InteliSwab™ COVID-19 Rapid Test Rx results were compared to highly sensitive molecular FDA Authorized SARSCoV-2 assays to determine test performance. The InteliSwab™ COVID-19 Rapid Test Rx correctly identified 84% of the positive samples. Additionally, the InteliSwab™ COVID-19 Rapid Test Rx correctly identified 98% of negative samples. -
What if you test positive?
A positive result means that it is very likely you have COVID-19 and it is important to report your results to your healthcare provider or the healthcare provider that
prescribed the test.
You will be asked to isolate yourself at home to avoid spreading the virus to others.
Follow-up with your health care provider your healthcare provider will work with you to determine how best to care for you based on your test results, your medical history, and symptoms.
There is a very small chance that this test can give a positive result that is wrong (false positive). -
What if you test negative?
A negative result means that the antigens from the virus that causes COVID-19 were not found in your sample.
You may have a different virus or type of infection causing your symptoms.
If you continue to experience symptoms, you should contact your health care
provider for another test.
You may have COVID-19 and still get a negative result (false negative) if:
-
You didn’t perform the test correctly, such as not swabbing correctly or not waiting 30 minutes for test results.
-
The level of antigen from the COVID-19 virus was below the test limits.
-
You have had signs and symptoms of COVID-19 for more than 7 days. This means you could still possibly have COVID-19 even though the test is negative. Please see your health care provider. Your healthcare provider will consider the test result along with all other aspects of your medical history, including your symptoms and possible
COVID-19 exposures to decide how to care for you. It is important for you to work with your healthcare provider to help you understand the next steps you should take. A different type of test might be necessary to determine whether or not you have COVID-19. -
Why do I have a test line and no control line?
If you have a test line and no control line, your test is positive. When the level of virus in the sample is high, the line next to the “C” may not be present or may be very faint. The line next to the “C” must be visible to read a negative test result. Please see the other side of this Instructions for Use and the enclosed reference card to help you
understand how to interpret test results. -
Will this test hurt?
No. The nasal swab is not sharp and it should not hurt. Sometimes the swab can feel slightly uncomfortable. If you feel pain, please stop the test and seek advice from a
healthcare provider. -
Is the solution in the tube harmful?
No. The solution in the tube contains potentially harmful chemicals (Triton X-100 and ProClin 950); however, laboratory studies have shown them to be non- toxic at the levels contained in the solution. The developer solution should only be used as directed; do not ingest; keep out of the reach of children; avoid contact with skin and eyes. If the solution contacts the skin or eye, flush with copious amounts of water. If irritation persists, seek medical advice: https://www.poison.org/contact-us or 1-800-222-1222. -
