antigen test definition
antigen test means a test, of one of the following categories, that relies on detection of viral proteins (antigens) to reveal the presence of SARS-CoV- 2:
antigen test means an immunoassay test that detects the presence or absence of SARS-CoV-2 protein to indicate current SARS- CoV-2 infection.
antigen test means an in vitro diagnostic medical device for the detection of the presence of a viral antigen specific to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2);
More Definitions of antigen test
antigen test means a test, of one of the following categories, that relies on detection of viral proteins (antigens) to reveal the presence of SARS-CoV-2:
(a) rapid antigen tests, such as lateral flow immunoassays that give results in less than 30 minutes,
(b) antigenic assays performed in a laboratory setting, such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays or automated immunoassays for detection of viral antigens;”;
antigen test means a lateral flow immunoassay intended for the qualitative detection of nucleocapsid protein antigens from the SARS-CoV-2 virus in nasal swabs, that has emergency use authorization from the United States Food and Drug Administration and that is authorized for nonprescription home use with self-collected nasal swabs.
antigen test means an Antigen-based tests detect specific proteins on the surface of the virus. They are often called rapid tests, as they typically provide results in less than an hour. In general, antigen tests are used by a health care professional or trained operator at point-of-care, but lab-based antigen tests exist as well.
