Abbott Panbio COVID-19/Flu A and B Rapid Panel User Manual

Introduction

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS- CoV-2).1 The SARS-CoV-2 is a β-coronavirus, which is an enveloped non- segmented positive-sense RNA virus.2 It is spread by human-to-human transmission via droplets or direct contact. Based on the current epidemiological investigation, the incubation period is 1 to 14 days, mostly 3 to 7 days. Among patients with pneumonia caused by SARS-CoV-2, fever was the most common symptom, followed by cough.3 Influenza, commonly called “the flu”, is an infectious disease caused by influenza viruses.4 The symptoms range from mild to severe and often include fever, runny nose, sore throat, muscle pain, headache, coughing, and fatigue. These symptoms typically begin 1-4 days after exposure to the virus and last for about 2-8 days.5

Test Principle

Panbio™ COVID-19/Flu A&B Rapid Panel (Nasopharyngeal) contains a membrane strip, which is pre-coated with immobilized anti-SARS-CoV-2, anti-Influenza A, and anti-Influenza B antibodies on the test line and mouse monoclonal anti- chicken IgY on the control line. Four types of gold conjugates (monoclonal antibodies specific to SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A, and Influenza B gold conjugates and chicken IgY gold conjugate) move upward on the membrane chromatographically and react with anti-SARS-CoV-2, anti-Influenza A, anti- Influenza B antibodies and pre-coated mouse monoclonal anti-chicken IgY antibody respectively. For a positive result, each pathogen of SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A and Influenza B will form a test line in the result window. Neither the test line nor the control line are visible in the result window prior to applying the patient specimen. A visible control line is required to indicate a test result is valid.

Intended Use

The Panbio™ COVID-19/Flu A&B Rapid Panel (NP) is an in vitro diagnostic rapid test for the qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza A&B antigen (Ag) in human nasopharyngeal swab specimens from individuals, who meet COVID-19 and/or Influenza clinical and/or epidemiological criteria.

Panbio™ COVID-19/Flu A&B Rapid Panel (NP) is for professional use and is intended to be used as an aid in the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza infection. The product may be used in laboratory and non-laboratory environment.

The test provides preliminary test results. Negative results don’t preclude SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza A&B infection and they cannot be used as the sole basis for treatment or other management decisions. Negative results should be combined with clinical observations, patient history, and epidemiological information.
