Subjects 18+ years of age
A healthcare professional will take a sample per subject for the comparator test, following the manufacturer's (IFU) in one nostril. Mid-turbinate swab samples will be taken from the opposite nostril using Copan FLOQ Swabs and placed into MSwab buffer (Q14-116-P02), for the candidate test. In instances where opposite nostrils cannot be swabbed for both the comparator and the test under investigation, a 15-minute wait period to allow for viral reloading must occur between collecting both the comparator and the test samples on the same nostril. Comparator RT-PCR samples will be shipped overnight with ice packs and processed for testing within 48 hours of collection. Candidate test samples will tested as soon as possible following collection, however if time is required between specimen collection and testing, the samples must be stored at 2-8 °C for up to 24 hours. Test samples must also be stored at 2-8 °C whilst the Q-POC test is running.
