- 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. 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.
BEFORE OPENING THE TEST
If you are testing more than one person, always clean the test space and wash your hands between each test.
-
You will need (not included in kit):
Watch or timer
Tissues
Soap and water or hand sanitizer
Mirror (optional) -
Clean and dry a flat, well-lit surface, such as a table or counter top.
-
Blow your nose and discard tissue.
-
Wash your hands thoroughly and DRY them. PREPARE FOR TESTING
-
Do not use the kit if the items are damaged, missing, or expired. Use buffer and cassette within 30 minutes of opening pouches. For 2, 5 and 20 test kits, do not throw the kit box away until all tests are used up.
Remove all items needed for 1 test.
Check that the seal is still intact in all items. Check the expiration dating of the kit. For current information on the expiration dating of the product please visit: https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/coronavirus-covid-19-and- medical-devices/home-otc-covid-19-diagnostic-tests#list -
Open the pouch labeled “Buffer and Nozzle”.
-
• Push in the perforated circle on the kit box and place buffer tube.
• Slowly peel off the buffer tube seal.
• Place the open tube in the rack. -
Open the swab packaging and hold the swab by its handle. DO NOT touch the fabric tip.
COLLECT SAMPLE
Children ages 14 to 17 may self-test with adult supervision. Do not touch your cheeks, teeth, gums, or any other surfaces with the fabric tip of the swab, or it might contaminate your sample. DO NOT touch the fabric tip of the swab with your hands.
- • Carefully insert fabric tip of the swab 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch into first nostril.
• With children, the maximum depth of insertion into the nostril may be less than 3/4 of an inch, and you may need to have a second person to hold the child’s head while swabbing.
• DO NOT insert the swab any deeper if you feel strong resistance or pain. If self-testing, use a mirror to help
• Slowly rub swab in a complete circle around the inside of the nostril at least 5 times.
• Using the SAME SWAB, repeat process in the second nostril.
• Children under age 14 should be tested by an adult (wear a face cover when swabbing others).
PROCESS THE SWAB SAMPLE
-
• Remove the buffer tube from the rack.
• Insert the fabric tip of the swab into the tube.
• Swirl the swab in the liquid for 15 seconds. -
• Remove the swab from the tube whilesqueezing tube into the swab tip to press out excess liquid.
• Place the tube back into tube rack. -
Insert the nozzle into the tube while holding the tube with your other hand. It should fit snug like a cork.
TEST THE SAMPLE
-
• Open the pouch labeled “COVID-19 Antigen Home Test” and remove the test cassette. Do not use after the test cassette has been opened for more than 30 minutes.
• Lay the cassette on clean, flat, well-lit surface. Add the liquid drop by drop in a vertical manner. -
• Invert the buffer tube over the cassette and gently squeeze to slowly add 3 drops of the liquid into the sample well (S), avoiding forming bubbles.
• Immediately start timing 15 minutes and wait. DO NOT move the cassette during the test.
READ THE RESULT
- Read result after 15 minutes. You must read the result after 15 minutes, but not past 30 minutes.
Negative If the Control (C) line is visible, but the Antigen (Ag) 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 the individual does 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.
TEST INTERPRETATION
- Repeat testing is needed to improve test accuracy. Please follow the table when interpreting test results for COVID-19.
- 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. Report your test result(s) at MakeMyTestCount.Org – this voluntary and anonymous reporting helps public health teams understand COVID-19 spread in your area and across the country and informs public health decisions.
Positive
If the Control (C) line and the Antigen (Ag) line are visible, the test is
positive. Any faint visible red test (Ag) 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.

SAFELY DISPOSE OF USED TEST
When done testing, dispose of used items (except Instructions For Use) in a
trash can (not recycling) or according to your local guidelines. Thoroughly
wash or sanitize your
hands and any surfaces and items used during testing.
INTENDED USE
The lmmuView® COVID-19 Antigen Home 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 7 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 lmmuView® COVID-19 Antigen Home 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 coinfection with other viruses.
The agent detected may not be the definite cause of disease. Individuals who
test positive with the lmmuView® COVID-19 Antigen Home Test 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 ImmuView® COVID-19 Antigen Home 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 ImmuView ® COVID-19 Antigen
Home Test is only for use under the Food and Drug Administration’s Emergency
Use Authorization. This product has not been FDA cleared or approved.

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 ImmuView® COVID-19 Antigen Home 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
https://immuviewathome.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 have a
negative result, it does not rule out SARS-CoV-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
IMPORTANT

LIMITATIONS
-
This test detects both viable (live) and nonviable SARS-CoV-2. Test performance depends on the amount of virus (antigens) in the sample and may or may not correlate
with viral culture results performed on the same sample. -
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 March, 2022 and August, 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.
