Healthcare Provider Instructions for Use
NAME AND INTENDED USE
The InteliSwa b COVID-19Rapid Test is a single-use lateral flow immunoassay with an integrated swab, intended
for the qualitative detection of the nucleocapsid protein antigen from SARS-CoV-2 from individuals with or without
symptoms or other epidemiological reasons to suspect COVID-19 when tested twice over two or three days with at
least 24 hours but not more than 36 hours between tests. This test is authorized for non-prescription home use with
self-collected anterior nasal samples from individuals 18 years or older or adult collected anterior nasal samples from
individuals age 15 years or older.
The InteliSwab COVID-19 Rapid Test does not differentiate between SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2.
Results are for the identification of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein a ntigen. Antigen is generally detectable in
anterior nasal swab specimens during the acute phase of infection. Positive results indicate the presence of viral
a ntigens, but clinical correlation with past m edical history and other dia gnostic information is necessary to determ ine
infection status. Positive results do not rule out bacterial infection or co-infection with other viruses a nd the agent
detected may not be the definite cause of disease. Individuals who test positive with the I nteliSwa b COVID-19 Rapid
Test should self-isolate and seek f ollow-up care with their physician or healthcare provider as additional testing may
be necessary.
Negative results should be treated as presumptive and confirmation with molecular assay, if necessary, for patient
management, may be performed. Negative results do not rule out COVID-19 and should not be used as the sole basis
for treatment or patient management decisions, including infection control decisions. Negative results should be
considered in the context of an individuals recent exposures, history and the presence of clinical signs a nd symptoms
consistent with COVID-19 and confirmed with a molecular assay, if necessary, for patient management.
For seria l testing programs, additional confirmatory testing with a molecula r test f or negative results may be necessary,
if there is a high likelihood of SARS-CoV-2 infection, such as an individual with a close contact with COVID-19 or
with suspected exposure to COVID-19 or in communities with high prevalence of infection. Additional confirmatory
testing with a molecular test for positive results may also be necessary, if there is a low likelihood of SARS-CoV-2
infection, such as in individuals without known exposures to COVID-19 or residing in com munities with low
prevalence of infection.
Individuals who test negative and continue to experience COVID-19 like sym ptoms of fever, cough a nd/or shortness
of brea th may still ha ve SARS-CoV-2 infection and should seek follow up care with their healthcare provider.
Individuals should provide all results obtained with this product to their healthcare provider for public health reporting.
All healthcare providers will report all test results they receive from individuals who use the authorized product to
releva nt public hea lth a uthorities in a ccordance with local, state, and federal requirements using appropriate LOINC
and SNOMED codes, as defined by the Laboratory In Vitro Dia gnostics (LVID) Test Code Mapping
for SARS-CoV-
2 Tests provided by CDC.
The InteliSwab COVID-19 Rapid Test is intended for non-prescription self-use and/or as applicable an adult lay user
testing another person 15 years of age or older in a non-laboratory setting. The I nteliSwa b COVID-19 Rapid Test in
only for use under the Food and Drug Administrations Emergency Use Authorization.
SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION OF THE TEST
For Emergency Use Authorization
For In Vitro Diagnostic Use
2
COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-
2) was first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei, China. Due to the increased number of reported cases in
nearly 170 countries, the World Health Orga nization (WHO) publicly recognized this a s a pa ndemic on 11MAR20.
The President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency on 13MAR20. Pa tient’s
symptoms are sim ila r to influenza with tra nsmission via respiratory droplets from coughing a nd sneezing. COVID-
19 ca n cause respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases,
infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, organ failure in several orga ns, a cute kidney
injury, heart problems, blood clots, additional viral and bacterial infections and even death. SARS-CoV-2 is
considered contagious whether COVID-19 disease is sym ptomatic or a symptomatic a nd patients should self-isolate
for 14 days. The presence of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein antigen indicates that the individual is currently
infected and capable of transmitting the virus.
The InteliSwa b™ COVID-19 Rapid Test uses a sandwich capture lateral flow immunoassay to detect SARS-CoV-2
nucleocapsid protein a ntigen. SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein antigen is ca ptured a nd visualized by colloidal gold
la beled with SARS-CoV-2 a ntibodies generating a visible line in the test zone f or a positive sample.
PRINCIPLES OF THE TEST
The InteliSwab™ COVID-19 Rapid Test is a m anually performed, visually rea d immunoassay for the qualitative
detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein a ntigen using a proprietary integrated collection swa b to directly
collect samples from the anterior nasal cavity. The InteliSwa b COVID-19 Rapid Test is comprised of both a single-
use test device and a vial containing a pre-measured amount of a buffered developer solution. The test consists of a
sealed pouch with two separate compartments for each component. The I nteliSwab™ COVID-19 Rapid Test utilizes
a proprietary la teral flow imm unoassay procedure.
The assay test strip, which can be viewed through the test device result window, is comprised of a series of
components: the blocker pad, the conjugate pad, the nitrocellulose membrane, a nd finally the a bsorbent pad. The
performance of the assay occurs by hydration and transport of reagents and specimen as they interact across the strip
via chromatographic la teral flow.
An anterior nasal sa mple is collected using the flat pad that is integrated into the test device, followed by swirling the
test device in the vial of developer solution. The developer solution facilitates the flow of the sample into the device
and onto the test strip. As the sample flows through the device, it rehydrates the reagents on the blocker pad, which
contains biotinylated anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. The sample then re-hydrates the gold colorimetric reagent, which
contains a nti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. If the sa mple contains SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein antigen, it will
react with the anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in the blocker pad and conjugate pad a nd forms a sandwich complex that
migrates up the test strip. As the complex continues to migrate up the test strip it encounters the Test (T) Zone and
will react with the streptavidin immobilized on the nitrocellulose, a reddish-purple line will a ppear, qualitatively
indicating the presence of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antigen in the sample. The intensity of the line color is not
directly proportional to the amount of antigen present in the sample. If the sample does not contain SARS-CoV-2
nucleocapsid protein antigen, the sandwich complex will not form and the reagents will flow past the Test (T) Zone.
Further up the test strip, the sample will encounter the Control (C) Zone. This is a built-in procedural control w hich
serves to demonstrate that the fluid migrated through the test device. For nega tive results and m ost positive results a
line will f orm a t the Control (C) Zone. In some cases when viral levels are high, the line at the Control Zone may be
very faint or may not be present.
Results are interpreted between 30 and 40 minutes after inserting the device into the Developer Vial. Do not read
negative results before 30 minutes as it may result in false negative results. Do not read any result after 40 minutes
a s it m a y result in ina ccurate results.

QUALITY CONTROL PROCEDURES
Built-in Control Features
The InteliSwa b COVID-19 Rapid Test for a nterior nasal specimens has a built-in procedural control that
demonstrates the assay components have m igrated a dequately through the device. For negative tests, a reddish-purple
line in the Control (C) Zone of the Result Window indicates that the fluid migrated appropriately through the Test
Device. The line in the Control (C) Zone does not determine if a human sample has been added or if there is an
adequate sample. For most positive tests, a reddish-purple line will appear in the Control (C) Zone and the Test (T)
Zone; however, in cases where the viral load in the sample is very high, the line in the Control (C) Zone may not be
present or may be very faint. (Refer to Test Result and Interpretation of Test Result section in these Instructions for
Use).
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

TEST RESULT AND INTERPRETATION OF TEST RESULT
Interpret results between 30 and 40 minutes. Do not read negative results before 30 minutes as it may result in false
negative results. Do not read any result after 40 minutes a s it m a y yield inaccurate results.
NEGATIVE
A test is Negative if:
A reddish-purple line a ppears in the C Zone and NO line appears in the T Zone
(see picture 15). The line in the C Zone must be present to interpret a negative
test result.
A Negative test result is interpreted as nucleocapsid protein antigen was not
detected in the specimen. The individual is presumed negative for COVID-19.
Negative results do not rule out SARS-CoV-2 infection. Individuals
without symptoms that test negative should be tested again with at least 24
hours and no more than 36 hours between tests. All negative results are
considered presumptive, and confirmation with a molecular assay, if
necessary for patient management, may be performed. Negative results
should be considered in the context of an individuals recent exposures,
history, and the presence of clinical signs and symptoms consistent with
COVID-19.
POSITIVE
A test is Positive if:
A reddish-purple line appears in the T Zone a nd there is a line in
the C Zone. Lines may vary in intensity. The test is positive
regardless of how faint these lines appear (see pictures 16 and
17).
In some cases the reddish-purple line in the C Zone may not be
present or may be very faint if there are high levels of virus in the
sa mple (see picture 18).
A Positive test result is interpreted as nucleocapsid protein
antigen wa s detected in the specimen. The individual is positive
for COVID-19.
Additional confirmatory testing with a mo lecular
test for positive results may also be necessary, if there is a low
likelihood of COVID-19, such as in individuals without known
exposures to COVID-19 or residing in communities with low
prevalence of infection.
9
INVALID
A test is Invalid if any of the following occurs:
NO lines appear on the device (see p icture 19), or
a reddish-purple background in the Result Window m akes it
difficult to read the result after 30 m inutes (see picture 20), or
any partial line on one side of the C or T Zones (see pictures 21
and 22)
An Invalid test result means that there wa s a problem running the test.
An Invalid result cannot be interpreted. An invalid test result
needs to be repeated with a fresh sample and a new test device.
Please contact OraSure Technologies’ Customer Care (1-800-
ORASURE) if you are unable to obtain a valid test result upon
repeat testing.
GENERAL TEST CLEAN-UP
1. Dispose of the used test materials in a biohazard waste container. All equipment and biohazardous waste
should be discarded in accordance with country, state, and local laws and policies.
2. Change your gloves between each test to prevent contamination.
3. Use a freshly prepared 10% solution of bleach to clean up any spills.
LIMITATIONS OF THE TEST
1. A nega tive test result may occur if the level of a ntigen in a sample is below the lim it of detection of the test.
2. Weak Positive samples may take longer to develop and can take the entire 30 minutes for a test line to be
present. Therefore, all negative test results must be read at least 30 minutes after inserting the device into
the developer vial. Negative test results must not be reported prior to reading the device at 30 minutes.
3. Rea ding a ny result after 40 minutes may yield inaccurate test results.
4. The control line only indicates that reagents have properly migrated up the test device. In positive patient
samples with high levels of virus, the line at the Control (C) Zone may not be present or may be very faint.
The control line does not indicate that an adequate human sample was added to the test device.
5. Positive test results do not rule out co-infections with other pathogens.
6. Potential cross reactivity of the InteliSwa b COVID-19 Rapid Test with COVID-19 vaccines or
therapeutics has not been evaluated.
7. False negative results may occur if a specimen is improperly collected or handled.
8. False negative results are more likely after seven days or more of symptoms.
9. Negative results are presumptive, do not rule out COVID-19 infection and it may be necessary to obtain
a dditional testing with a m olecular a ssay, if needed f or patient management.
10. Performance of nasal swabs collected from patients without symptoms or other epidemiological rea sons to
suspect COVID-19 infection or for serial screening, when tested twice over two to three days with at least
24 but not more than 36 hours between tests has not been determined, a study to support use will be
completed.
11. If the differentiation of specific SARS viruses and strains is needed, additional testing, in consultation with
state or local public health departments, is required.
12. The performance of this test was established based on the evaluation of a lim ited number of clinical
specimens collected in February and April 2021. The clinical performance has not been established in all
circula ting varia nts but is a nticipated to be reflective of the prevalent variants in circula tion at the tim e a nd
10
location of the clinical evaluation. Performance at the time of testing may vary depending on the variants
circulating, including newly emerging strains of SARS-CoV-2 and their prevalence, which change over
tim e.
PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
CLINICAL PERFORMANCE
A clinica l study to evaluate the performance of the InteliSwa b™ COVID-19 Ra pid Test was conducted during
Februa ry a nd April of 2021 in five (5) geographically diverse sites across the US. A total of 146 individuals with
signs and symptoms of COVID-19 within the f irst seven (7) days of symptom onset completed the study a nd obtained
a va lid result. Subjects eighteen (18) years a nd older independently collected an anterior nasal sa mple, conducted the
test, interpreted and reported their self-test result. The parents of subjects fifteen (15) to seventeen (17) years of age
collected the anterior nasal sa mple, conducted the test, interpreted and recorded the test result for the child. The
InteliSwa b™ COVID-19 Ra pid Test results were compared to highly sensitive molecular FDA EUA Authorized
SARS-CoV-2 a ssays to determine test performance. The InteliSwab™ COVID-19 Rapid Test when conducted by a
lay user correctly identified 84% of positive samples. Additionally, the InteliSwa b™ COVID-19 Rapid Test correctly
identified 98% of negative samples. The COVID-19 infection ra te was 35% (51/146) in this study. T h e p erforma nce

ANALYTICAL PERFORMANCE
Limit of Detection (LoD)
A preliminary LoD was determined by evaluating different concentrations of a SARS-CoV-2 live virus stock
(USA_WA1/2020) diluted in nasal m atrix. Contrived samples were ra ndomized, and operators were blinded to the
sample identities for testing on the InteliSwab COVID-19 Rapid Test. The LoD was confirmed as the lowest
concentration of SARS-CoV-2 that was detected 95% of the time (i.e., concentration where 19 out of 20 test results
were positive). The InteliSwa bCOVID-19 Rapid Test LoD was confirmed to be 2.5 x 10

Cross-Reactivity (Analytical Specificity) and Microbial Interference
Cross-Reactivity and Microbial Interference studies were conducted to determine if other respiratory pathogens that
could be present in a nasal sample could cause a false-positive test result, or interfere with a true positive result. A
panel of sixteen (16) viruses, ten (10) bacteria, three (3) fungi, and pooled human nasal wash was evaluated in this
study. No cross-reactivity or interference was seen with the following microorganisms when tested at the
concentrations listed in the ta ble below with the exception of SARS-CoV, which resulted in positive test results due
to the high homology between SARS-CoV a nd SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid proteins.

Cross reactivity in samples containing HKU1 coronavirus could not be conclusively ruled out through in silico
comparison of the HKU1 and the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein amino acid sequence. Additionally, the SARS-
CoV-2 Nucleocapsid protein sequence was BLAST aligned on the NIH NCBI database to the entire set of proteins
encoded by P. jirovecii. No significa nt identity was found as a result of this search and thus no interference is
expected with the InteliSwab COVID-19 Rapid Test, however, cross-reactivity cannot be ruled out.

Usability Study
The usability of the InteliSwab COVID-19 Rapid Test and the ability of the packaging and labeling to direct
untrained users to perform self-testing wa s evaluated by observation in the clinical study and an a dditional u sa bility
study. A total of 288 subjects were enrolled in the study and were instructed to self-collect or collect a sample from
a child, complete the required procedural steps, and interpret the test results unassisted in a simulated home-
setting. The overall success of every task completed by all subjects enrolled was determined by unassisted
professional observation. Subjects performed 95% (4423/4636) of steps/tasks correctly.
After the completion of the test, the subject (or Parent/Legal Guardian) completed a test usability and satisfaction
questionnaire, 99% of subjects indicated that their overall impression of the test was sa tisfactory or fa vorable. 98%
of subjects found this test to be easy-to-use across 8 different ease of use survey questions. Additionally, 99% of
subjects indicated specifically that it was easy to read and understand the test results.
