COVID-19 / Influenza A &B Test
COVID-19 Influenza A and B Test
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
For use under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) only
For In Vitro Diagnostic Use
For use with anterior nasal swab specimens
INTENDED USE
The WELLlife™ COVID-19 / Influenza A&B Test is a lateral flow
immunochromatographic assay intended for in vitro rapid, simultaneous
qualitative detection and differentiation of influenza A and influenza B
nucleoprotein antigens and SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antigen directly from
anterior nasal swab specimens of individuals with signs and symptoms of
respiratory infection consistent with COVID-19 within the first five (5) days
of symptom onset when tested at least twice over three days with at least 48
hours between tests. Clinical signs and symptoms of respiratory viral
infection due to SARS-CoV-2 and influenza can be similar. Testing is limited
to laboratories certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments
of 1988 (CLIA), 42 U.S.C. § 263a, that meet the requirements to perform
moderate, high or waived complexity tests.
This test is authorized for use at the Point of Care (POC), i.e., in patient
care settings operating under a CLIA Certificate of Waiver, Certificate of
Compliance, or Certificate of Accreditation.
Results are for the simultaneous in vitro detection and differentiation of
SARS-CoV-2, influenza A virus, and influenza B virus protein antigen, but do
not differentiate between SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 viruses and are not intended
to detect influenza C antigens.
These viral antigens are generally detectable in anterior nasal swab specimens
during the acute phase of infection. Positive results indicate the presence of
viral antigens, but the clinical correlation with patient 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 definitive cause of the
disease.
All negative results should be treated as presumptive and confirmed with a
molecular assay, if necessary, for patient management. Negative results do not
rule out influenza or SARSCoV-2 infection and should not be used as the sole
basis for treatment or patient
management decisions, including infection control decisions 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 each respiratory infection.
The WELLlife™ COVID-19 / Influenza A&B Test is only for in vitro diagnostic
use under the Food and Drug Administration’s Emergency Use Authorization. This
product has not been FDA cleared or approved.
SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION
Along with the common cold, influenza is one of the most common acute
respiratory infections, producing symptoms such as headache, chills, dry
cough, body aches, and fever.
It affects 5%-20% of the United States population annually, resulting in more
than 200,000 hospitalizations and 36,000 deaths. [1] The influenza A virus is
typically more prevalent and is associated with the most serious influenza
epidemics, while influenza B infections usually present with milder symptoms.
Diagnosis is difficult because the initial symptoms can be similar to those
caused by other infectious agents. Considering that the influenza virus is
highly contagious, accurate diagnosis and prompt treatment of patients can
have a positive effect on public health. Accurate diagnosis and the ability to
distinguish between A or B antigens can also help reduce the inappropriate use
of antibiotics and gives the physician the opportunity to prescribe an
antiviral therapy. Initiation of antiviral therapy should begin as soon as
possible after onset, ideally within 48 hours of the appearance of symptoms,
as treatment may reduce the duration of symptoms.
Coronaviruses are enveloped RNA viruses that are found broadly among humans,
other mammals, and birds. The viruses are known to cause mild symptoms, but
sometimes severe respiratory, enteric, hepatic, and neurological diseases can
occur. Seven coronavirus species are known to cause human disease, four of
which (229E, OC43, NL63 and HKU-1) are quite prevalent and can cause mild cold
symptoms, especially in immunocompetent people.
There are three other strains that are known to cause severe acute respiratory
disease. These strains include severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus
(SARS-CoV), Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), and the
2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). These strains are all zoonotic in origin
and have been linked to sometimes fatal respiratory illness. The prevalence of
SARS and MERS has been quite low in recent years; the Novel Coronavirus
(COVID-19) was recently identified in December 2019. The main manifestations
of illness include fever, fatigue, and dry cough. Nasal congestion, runny
nose, sore throat, myalgia, and diarrhea are found in a few cases. Most
epidemiological studies suggest a 1–14-day incubation period. The median
incubation period is estimated at 5.1 days, with most developing symptoms
before 11.5 days. [4] Infected but asymptomatic people can also be an
infectious source. The WELLlife™ COVID-19 / Influenza A&B Test can provide
rapid detection of influenza A, influenza B, and/or SARS-CoV-2 viral antigens
from symptomatic patients.
PRINCIPLE OF PROCEDURE
The WELLlife™ COVID-19 / Influenza A&B Test consists of a test cassette that
separately detects influenza A, influenza B, and SARS-CoV-2 antigens. The test
procedure requires the anterior nasal swab specimen to be inserted into the
prefilled extraction buffer tube to be solubilized, and then the specimen is
eluted. The virus particles in the specimen are disrupted by the chemicals in
the extraction buffer, exposing internal viral nucleoproteins.
After the release of specimen, the swab is discarded. The extracted specimen
is then dropped into the sample well of the test cassette.
If SARS-CoV-2, influenza A and/or influenza B antigens are present in the
specimen, they will react with SARS-CoV-2 antibody coupled to dye particles
and/or influenza antibody coupled to dye particles, migrate through the
membrane as antigen-antibody-dye complexes, bind to the immobilized capture
antibody line(s) on the membrane, and generate a colored pink to red line in
the specific test line position. The rest of the sample and rabbit IgG dye
particle complexes continue to migrate to the Control line position (C), where
immobilized goat anti-rabbit IgG will capture the rabbit IgG dye particle
complexes and form the Control line. Formation of the pink to red Control line
serves as an internal control to demonstrate that test reagents are
functional, antibody-dye conjugates in the dye pad have been hydrated and
released and that sufficient sample has been applied to allow for migration
through the Test and Control lines. If the Control line does not appear within
the designated incubation time, the result is invalid, and the test should be
repeated using a new test device and specimen.
If the antigen level is equal to or above the detection limit, a visible
colored band appears at the test region. Absence of this pink to red colored
band in the test region of test strip and only a visible control line will
appear, suggests a negative result.
WELLlife™ COVID-19 / Influenza A&B Test has three Test lines, one for
COVID-19, one for influenza A and one for influenza B. The three Test lines
allow for the separate and differential identification of COVID-19, influenza
A and/or B from a single specimen. If any Test line appears in the test result
window, together with the Control line, the test result is positive for
COVID-19 and/or influenza.

QUALITY CONTROL
The WELLlife™ COVID-19 / Influenza A&B Test provided two (2) types of
controls; an internal procedural control to aid in determining test validity
and two External Controls (one negative swab and one positive swab) to monitor
the performance of the test.
INTERNAL QUALITY CONTROL
Each WELLlife™ COVID-19 / Influenza A&B Test has a built-in internal
procedural control. The red line appearing at the “C” position is an internal
procedural control. This procedural control line indicates that sufficient
flow has occurred, and the functional integrity of the test cassette has been
maintained. A distinct pink to red Control line should always appear if the
test has been performed correctly. If the Control line does not appear, the
test result is invalid, and a new test should be performed. Contact Wondfo USA
Co. Ltd., at 1-888-444-3657 or via
wondfo@wondfousa.com if you experience a problem.
EXTERNAL QUALITY CONTROL TESTING
External quality control swabs (containing one (1) positive control swab and
one (1) negative control swab) are provided with the WELLlife™ COVID-19 /
Influenza A&B Test kit. If an additional external quality control kit is
needed, the WELLlife™ COVID-19 / Influenza A&B Test Control Kit (Catalog
number WV01P0003) can be separately sold for use with the WELLlife™ COVID-19 /
Influenza A&B Test. The controls are specifically formulated and manufactured
to ensure performance of the test and are used to verify an operator’s ability
to properly perform the test and interpret the results. The external controls
should be processed and tested in accordance with the nasal swab test
procedure provided in the Instructions for Use or in the Quick Reference
Instructions (QRI). Use of Kit Control reagents manufactured by any other
source may not produce the expected results, and therefore, will not meet the
requirements for an adequate quality assurance program for the WELLlife™
COVID-19 / Influenza A&B Test. If external controls do not perform as
expected, testing of individuals should not be performed. Repeat the test or
contact Wondfo via email at wondfo@wondfousa.com or
call 1-888-444-3657.
It is recommended that the positive and negative controls are run once for
each untrained operator, once for each new shipment of kits –provided that
each different lot received in the shipment is tested – and as deemed
additionally necessary by your internal quality control procedures, and in
accordance with Local, State, and Federal regulations or accreditation
requirements.
SPECIMEN COLLECTION AND PREPARATION
-
Only nasal swabs can be used with this test. Use of nasal washes, nasal aspirates, or nasopharyngeal swabs has not been validated for use with this test.
-
Proper specimen collection, storage, and transport are critical to the performance of this test. Negative results can occur from inadequate sample collection and/or handling.
Training in specimen collection is highly recommended because of the importance of specimen quality. -
When collecting anterior nasal swab specimens, make sure to use only the swab included in the WELLlife™ COVID-19 / Flu A&B Test kit.
-
To obtain accurate results, do not use visually bloody or overly viscous samples.
-
If a culture result is desired for influenza, a separate swab must be collected for the culture.
-
Use fresh samples for best performance. Freshly collected specimens should be tested immediately. If a testing delay is unavoidable, swab samples can be stored for up to 1 hour at room temperature.
-
Once the swab has been mixed in the Extraction Buffer tube, the extracted sample must be used within 1 hour when stored at room temperature (15-30ºC/59-86ºF).
-
Transport media should not be used. This test has not been validated or authorized for use with viral transport media.
PREPARING FOR TESTING
NOTE: Do not open the test contents until ready for use. If the test cassette is open for an hour or longer, invalid test results may occur.
-
Check the test’s expiration date printed on the outer test packaging. For information about current expiration dates for at-home OTC COVID-19 diagnostic tests, visit http://www.fda.gov/covid-tests.
-
Wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds and dry them thoroughly, or use hand sanitizer.
-
Locate the tube holder (look for the red circle on the kit’s box).
-
a) Insert the buffer tube into the tube holder. Ensure that the buffer tube is stable and upright. b) Remove the large cap from the buffer tube and set it aside for later use.
-
Remove test cassette from sealed pouch and lay it on a flat surface. SAMPLE PREPARING FOR TESTING
-
Remove the swab from the pouch.
Be careful not to touch the swab tip (soft end) with hand. -
a) Carefully insert the swab no more than 3/4 inch (1.5 cm) into the nostril. Slowly rotate the swab at least 5 times against the nostril wall. b) Remove the swab and repeat in the other nostril using the same swab. Check: Did you swab BOTH nostrils?
RUNNING THE TEST -
Immerse the swab into the buffer tube and swirl the swab in the buffer. Ensure the sample is mixed thoroughly by making at least 10 circles.
Sample must be adequately mixed into the buffer or the test will not work properly. -
Leave the swab in the buffer tube for 1 minute. A timer is recommended for this step.
-
After 1 minute, pinch the tip of the swab from the outside of the tube to remove any excess liquid from the swab.
Remove and discard the swab. -
a) Hold the buffer tube upright and screw the large cap back onto the tube.
Ensure a tight fit to prevent leaking. b) Twist to open the small cap at the top of the tube. -
Invert the buffer tube and squeeze 4 drops of test sample into the sample well on the test cassette. Then discard the buffer tube.
Note: Incorrect results may be observed if <4 drops of sample are dded.
Sample must be applied to the test cassette within one hour of completing step -
Start timer. Read results at 10 minutes.
Do not interpret results before 10 minutes or after 20 minutes. Inaccurate test interpretations may occur.
INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS
INVALID RESULT
Check to see if a pink to red line is visible at the control line ‘C’ in the
results window. If a line is not visible at ’C’, even if any other line is
visible in the results window, the result is considered invalid. If you do not see a C line, DO NOT CONTINUE reading the results.
It means the test is invalid. Repeat the test with a new sample and new test
kit materials.
NEGATIVE RESULT
If a control ‘C‘ line is visible and you do not see a line at ‘F-A‘, ‘F-B‘ or
‘CoV‘, the test is negative.
All negative results should be treated as presumptive and confirmed with a
molecular assayif necessary, for patient management. Negative results do not
rule out influenza or SARSCoV-2 infection and should not be used as the sole
basis for treatment or patient management decisions, including infection
control decisions such as isolating from others and wearing masks. 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 each
respiratory infection.
COVID-19 Negative (-) Result
To increase the chance that the negative result for COVID-19 is accurate, you
should:
- Test again in 48 hours if the individual has symptoms on the first day of testing.
A negative test result indicates that the virus that causes COVID-19, Flu A, or Flu B was not detected in the sample. A negative result does not rule out COVID-19 or influenza infection.
There is a higher chance of false negative results with antigen tests compared to laboratorybased tests such as PCR tests. If the test is negative but COVID-19-like symptoms, e.g., fever, cough, and/or shortness of breath continue, follow up testing for SARS-CoV-2 with a molecular test or testing for other respiratory disease should be considered. If applicable, seek follow up care with the primary health care provider.
All negative results should be treated as presumptive and confirmation with a
molecular assay may be necessary if there is a high likelihood of SARS-CoV-2
infection, such as in an individual with a close contact with COVID-19 or with
suspected exposure to COVID-19 or in communities with high prevalence of
infection. Negative results do not rule out SARSCoV-2 infection and should not
be used as the sole basis for treatment or patient management decisions,
including infection control decisions.
POSITIVE RESULT
If the control line at ’C’ is visible and any other line or multiple lines on
‘F-A’ , ‘F-B” and/or ’CoV’ are visible, the test is positive for that virus.
NOTE: Any pink to red test line, no matter how faint, should be
considered a positive result when the control line is also present. The SARS-
CoV-2, Flu A and/or Flu B virus(es) were detected in the sample. A positive
result does not rule out co-infections with other pathogens or identify any
specific influenza A subtype, influenza B lineage, or SARS-CoV-2 variant.
Note: Look closely! The test line at ‘CoV’, ‘F-A’, and/or ‘F-B’ may be
very faint. Any pink to red line visible is a Positive Result. It is possible
to have more than one positive Test Line, which could indicate a co-infection
with influenza A, B, and/or SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. If
more than one positive Test Line is observed, retest with a new patient sample
and test kit. A differing result should be followed by confirmatory testing
with another test method, such as PCR.
COVID-19 Positive (+) Result
Repeat testing does not need to be performed if patients have a positive
result at any time.
A positive test result means that the virus that causes COVID-19 was detected
in the sample, and it is very likely the individual has COVID-19 and is
contagious. Please contact the patient’s doctor/primary care physician (if
applicable) and the local health authority immediately and instruct your
patient to 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).
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 WELLlife™ COVID-19 / Influenza A&B Test
should self-isolate and seek follow up care with their physician or healthcare
provider as additional confirmatory testing with a molecular test for positive
results may also be necessary, if there is a low likelihood of COVID-19, such
as in individuals without known exposures to COVID-19 or residing in
communities with low prevalence of infection.
SERIAL TESTING
Repeat Testing is needed to improve test accuracy for negative SARS-CoV-2
results.
Please follow the table below when interpreting test results with symptoms.
Serial (repeat) SARS-CoV-2 testing does not need to be performed if patients
have a positive SARS-CoV-2 result.

LIMITATIONS OF PROCEDURE
-
The performance of this test was established based on the evaluation of a limited number of clinical specimens collected between December 2023 and February 2024. 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 SARS-CoV-2 and their prevalence, which change over time.
-
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
SARS- CoV-2 as compared to a molecular test, especially in samples with low viral load. -
All COVID-19 and influenza antigen test negative results are presumptive and confirmation with a molecular assay may be necessary.
-
If the patient continues to have symptoms of COVID-19, and both the patient’s first and second tests are negative, the patient may not have SARS- CoV-2 infection, however additional follow-up may be needed.
-
If the test is positive, then proteins from the viruses that cause COVID-19 or influenza infection have been found in the sample and the individual likely has a respiratory infection with SARS- CoV-2 or influenza.
-
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.
-
Negative results do not preclude influenza or SARS virus infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other patient management decisions.
-
Results from the WELLlife™ COVID-19 / Influenza A&B Test should be correlated with the clinical history, epidemiological data and other data available to the clinician evaluating the patient.
-
WELLlife™ COVID-19 / Influenza A&B Test has been evaluated for use with human direct anterior nasal swab specimens only.
-
A negative test result may occur if the level of antigen in a sample is below the detection limit of the test.
-
Monoclonal antibodies may fail to detect, or detect with less sensitivity, influenza viruses that have undergone minor amino acid changes in the target epitope region.
-
Positive test results can distinguish among influenza A, B and SARS-CoV-2 viruses but do not differentiate specific influenza A subtypes, influenza B lineages or SARS-CoV-2 variants. If the differentiation of specific influenza A, influenza B, or SARS subtypes or variants is needed, additional testing, in consultation with state or local public health departments, is required.
-
WELLlife™ COVID-19 / Influenza A&B Test is a qualitative test and does not provide information on the viral load present in the specimen.
-
The performance of the WELLlife™ COVID-19 / Influenza A&B Test has not been evaluated for use in patients who do not show signs and symptoms of respiratory infection.
-
The performance of the WELLlife™ COVID-19 / Influenza A&B Test has not been evaluated for monitoring treatment of COVID-19 or influenza infection.
-
The performance of the WELLlife™ COVID-19 / Influenza A&B Test has not been evaluated for the screening of blood or blood products for the presence of COVID-19 or influenza.
-
The WELLlife™ COVID-19 / Influenza A&B Test cannot rule out diseases caused by other bacterial or viral pathogens. Positive test results do not rule out co-infections with other pathogens.
-
Positive and negative predictive values are highly dependent on prevalence. False negative test results are more likely during peak activity when prevalence of disease is high.
False positive test results are more likely during periods of low viral activity when prevalence is moderate to low. -
The use of the WELLlife™ COVID-19 / Influenza A&B Test is limited to laboratory personnel and CLIA waived users. Not for home use.
-
Individuals who recently received nasally administered influenza A or influenza B vaccine may have false positive test results after vaccination.
-
Liquid gel hand soap and hand sanitizer cream lotion may cause false negative results with this test. Fast-drying 80% ethanol hand sanitizer may cause false positive results with this test. Please ensure that hands are dry after washing prior to performing the test.
-
A potential for cross-reactivity between the SARS-CoV-2 test and HKU1 exists. Wet testing for HKU1 coronavirus was not conducted and therefore, cross-reactivity between SARS-CoV-2 and HKU1 coronavirus cannot be ruled out.

PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
ANALYTICAL PERFORMANCE
Limit of Detection (Analytical Sensitivity) Limit of detection (LoD) for SARS-
CoV-2 and influenza A and B in WELLlife™ COVID-19 / Influenza A&B Test was
determined by evaluating different concentrations of UV-inactivated SARS-CoV-2
and live influenza A and B viruses. The viruses were diluted in pooled
negative swab matrix (PNSM) to generate virus dilutions for testing. Anterior
nasal swab samples were prepared by adding 50μL of each virus dilution onto
the sterile swab. The swab samples were tested according to the test procedure
in package insert. Range-finding testing was conducted with three replicates
at various dilutions and confirmatory testing was conducted with 20
replicates. The lowest concentration that generated ≥95% positive detection
rate
was set as the LoD concentration.

Endogenous Interfering Substances
The potential interference of endogenous substances with the antibodies used
for the detection of SARS-CoV-2, influenza A and B was examined by testing
nineteen (19) substances in a negative clinical matrix in triplicate, in the
absence or presence of each virus
at 3 x LOD concentrations for SARS-CoV-2, influenza A(H1N1), and influenza
B(Yamagata).
The interference study was conducted using medically relevant concentrations
of the potentially interfering substances listed below to assess the potential
interference of the substances on the performance of the WELLlife™ COVID-19 /
Influenza A&B Test.
At 0.75% (v/v), FluMist Quadrivalent Live Intranasal Influenza Virus Vaccine
yielded false ositive results for Influenza A and Influenza B. At a dilution
of 0.375% (v/v), the results were negative (0/3 positive results). Hand
sanitizer containing 80% ethanol yielded false positive results for SARS-CoV-2
and Influenza B at a dilution of 3.75% (v/v). At a dilution of 1.875% (v/v),
the results were negative. Two interferents produced false-negative results
for Influenza B: hand sanitizer cream lotion (15% v/v) and hand soap liquid
gel (10% w/v). All Influenza B results were positive when tested with 7.5%
(v/v) hand sanitizer cream lotion and 0.05% (w/v) hand soap liquid gel.
No interference was observed with the other listed substances when tested at
the concentration presented in the table below in the presence or absence of
the target analytes.

CLINICAL PERFORMANCE
A prospective study was performed in which seven hundred eighty-seven (787)
direct anterior nasal swab specimens were sequentially enrolled (between
December 2023 and March 2024) and tested fresh. The samples were collected
from symptomatic patients suspected of infection with respiratory symptoms, at
nine (9) clinical sites. Subjects performed testing on self-collected swab
samples in age groups 14 and older, and adult collected samples for age groups
2-13, in a simulated at-home environment. To be enrolled in the study,
patients had to present at the participating study site within five (5) days
of symptom onset with signs and symptoms of respiratory infection generally
observed from SARS-CoV-2, influenza A and/or influenza B, during the study
period. Two anterior nasal swab specimens were collected from each patient:
one swab was collected by a healthcare professional and sent for testing using
a FDA-cleared molecular comparator method, and the other swab was self-
collected and tested immediately with the WELLlife™ COVID-19 / Influenza A&B
Test per the test procedure. Out of 787 enrolled subjects, there were 769
evaluable subjects.

SERIAL TESTING
A prospective clinical study was conducted between January 2021 and May 2022
as a component of the Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADx) initiative from
the National Institutes of Health (NIH). A total of 7,361 individuals were
enrolled via a ecentralized
clinical study design, with a broad geographical representation of the United
States. Per inclusion criteria, all individuals were asymptomatic upon
enrollment in the study and at least 14 days prior to it and did not have a
SARS-CoV-2 infection in the three months prior to enrollment. Participants
were assigned to one of three EUA authorized SARS-CoV-2 OTC rapid antigen
tests to conduct serial testing (every 48 hours) for 15 days. If an antigen
test was positive, the serial-antigen testing result is considered
positive.SERIAL TESTING
