95209-3
LaboratorySARS-CoV+SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Ag [Presence] in Respiratory system specimen by Rapid immunoassay
Definition
Qualitative detection of SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV, also known as SARS-CoV-1) and SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antigens in respiratory specimens by rapid immunoassay methods. The test detects but does not differentiate between SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2. This term was created for, but is not limited in use to, the submitter's Quidel Sofia 2 SARS Antigen FIA test kit.
