Description
Point-of-Care COVID-19 Antibody Test
The point-of-care COVID-19 Antibody Test is a solid phase immunochromatographic assay for the rapid, qualitative and differential detection of IgG and IgM antibodies to 2019 Novel Coronavirusi in human whole blood, serum or plasma.
The COVID-19 IgG/IgM Rapid Test is an essential screening test that enables healthcare professionals to make determinations of patients’ status after contracting COVID-19. This test provides only a preliminary test result. Therefore, any reactive specimen with the COVID-19 IgG/IgM Rapid Test Cassette (Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma) should be confirmed with alternative diagnostic testing method(s) and clinical findings.
CLIA Waived for medical professional use.

What is the difference between IgM and IgG antibodies?
IgM is the first antibody to be produced in response to any antigen (foreign particle) invasion. While IgG is most abundantly found antibody in the human body, IgM is thelargest immunoglobulin among all.
Simply put, IgM will be the first antibody produced by the body if a virus is present in the body. While IgG is the second antibody produced by the body in response to a virus, it will remain longer and is an indicator that the body has produced some level of immunity. There is no final data that suggests the presence of IgG antibodies will protect against future COVID-19 exposure.

Hello Jacqueline.
These are not CLIA Waived. These screening tests are new to the market. It can take up to a year to get CLIA Waived status. I know that a CLIA Waived test is in the works, but most likely will not be available until later this year.
