Intended Use
The Genabio COVID-19 Rapid Self-Test Kit is a lateral flow
immunoassay device intended for the qualitative detection of
nucleocapsid protein antigen from the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
This test is authorized for non-prescription home use with self-
collected anterior nasal (nares) swab samples from individuals
aged 14 years or older or adult-collected anterior nasal (nares)
swab samples from individuals aged 2 years or older. This test is
authorized for individuals with symptoms of COVID-19 within the
first 7 days of symptom onset when tested at least twice over
three days with at least 48 hours between tests, and for
individuals without symptoms or other epidemiological reasons to
suspect COVID-19, when tested at least three times over five days
with at least 48 hours between tests.
The Genabio COVID-19 Rapid Self-Test Kit does not differentiate
between SARS-CoV or SARS-CoV-2.
Results are for the identification of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid
protein antigen, which is generally detectable in anterior nasal
(nares) samples during the acute phase of infection. Positive
results indicate the presence of viral antigens, but clinical
correlation with patient history and other diagnostic information is
necessary to determine infection status. Positive results do not
rule out bacterial infection or co-infection with other viruses and
the agent detected may not be the definitive cause of disease.
Individuals who test positive with the Genabio COVID-19 Rapid
Self-Test Kit should self-isolate and seek follow-up care with their
physician or healthcare provider as additional testing may be
necessary.
All negative results are presumptive and confirmation with a
molecular assay, if necessary for patient management, may be
performed. Negative results do not rule out SARS-CoV-2 infection
and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or patient
management decisions, including infection control measures such
as isolating from others and wearing masks. Negative results
should be considered in the context of an individual's recent
exposures, history, and the presence of clinical signs and
symptoms consistent with COVID-19.
Individuals who test negative and continue to experience
COVID-19 like symptoms of fever, cough and/or shortness of
breath may still have SARS-CoV-2 infection and should seek follow up care with
their physician or healthcare provider. Individuals should provide all results
obtained with this product to their healthcare provider for public health
reporting and to receive appropriate medical care. All healthcare providers will
report all test results they receive from individuals who use the authorized
product to relevant public health authorities in accordance with local, state,
and federal requirements using appropriate LOINC and SNOMED codes, as
defined by the Laboratory In Vitro Diagnostics (LIVD) Test Code Mapping for
SARS-CoV-2 Tests provided by CDC.
The Genabio COVID-19 Rapid Self-Test Kit is intended for non-prescription self-
use and/or, as applicable, for an adult lay user testing another person aged 2
years or older in a non-laboratory setting.
The Genabio COVID-19 Rapid Self-Test Kit is only for in vitro diagnostic use
under the Food and Drug Administration's Emergency Use Authorization. This
product has not been FDA cleared or approved.

Limitation
• Incorrect test results may occur if a specimen is incorrectly
collected or handled.
• There is a higher chance of false negative results with home use
tests than with laboratory-based molecular tests due to the sensitivity o
the test technology. This means that there is a higher chance this test
will give you a negative result when you have COVID-19 as compared to
molecular test, especially in samples with low viral load.
• All COVID-19 antigen test negative results are presumptive and
confirmation with a molecular assay may be necessary. If you continue t
have symptoms of COVID-19, and both your first and second tests are
negative, you may not have COVID-19, however you should follow-up
with a healthcare provider.
• If the test is positive, then proteins from the virus that causes
COVID-19 have been found in the sample and you likely have COVID-19.
• These test results are shown as lines of color. Because these lines
can be very faint, users with vision impairment - such as far-sightedness
or glaucoma - are encouraged to seek assistance to interpret results
accurately (e.g., reading glasses, additional light source, or another
person with no vision impairment).
f
a
o
• The performance of this test was established based on the
evaluation of a limited number of clinical specimens collected between
January 2022 and June 2022. The clinical performance has not been
established for all circulating variants but is anticipated to be reflective
of the prevalent variants in circulation at the time and 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 time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: WHAT IS COVID-19?
A: COVID-19 is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by the
SARS-CoV-2 virus, a novel Betacoronavirus. SARS-CoV-2 is mostly
spread person-to-person, both by individuals with symptoms of
COVID-19 infection and by infected people without symptoms. Based
on the current knowledge, the incubation period is 1 to 14 days,
mostly 4-5 days. Symptoms include fever, fatigue, and cough. For a full
list of symptoms, see:
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/symptoms.html
Q: WHAT ARE THE KNOWN AND POTENTIAL RISKS BENEFITS OF THIS
TEST?
A: Potential risks include:
•Possible discomfort during sample collection.
•Possible incorrect test results (see Result Interpretation Section)
Potential benefits include:
•The results, along with other information, can help you and your
healthcare provider make informed decisions about your care.
•The results of this test may help limit the spread of COVID-19 to your
family and others in your community.
Q
: WILL THIS TEST HURT?
A: No, the nasal swab is not sharp and it should not hurt. Sometimes the
swab can feel slightly uncomfortable or tickly. If you feel pain, please stop
t
h
e test and see
k advice from
a healthcare provider.
Q: WHAT IS SERIAL TESTING?
A: Serial testi
ng is when one person test
s themselves
multiple ti
mes
for
COVID-19 on a routine basi
s, such as e
very day or every
other day. By
.
testing more frequently, you may detect COVID-19 more quickly and
reduce spread of infection. Serial testing (i.e. testing every day or
every other day) is more likely to detect COVID-19. If you do not have
any symptoms, testing should be performed at least twice over three
days, with at least 24 hours and no more than 48 hours between tests.
You may need to purchase additional tests to perform this serial
(repeat) testing.
Q: HOW ACCURATE IS THIS TEST?
A: Clinical studies have shown that antigen tests more accurately
determine whether you are infected with the virus that causes
COVID-19 when taken multiple times across several days. Repeat
testing improves test accuracy. This serial testing approach is
recommended to minimize the risk of incorrect results. For more
information on the performance of the test and how the performance
may apply to you, please refer to the performance data in the
Healthcare Provider Instructions for Use (IFU), available at
https://www.genabio.com.
Q: WHAT IF I HAVE A POSITIVE TEST RESULT?
A: A positive result means that it is very likely you have
COVID-19 because proteins from the virus that causes COVID-19 were
found in your sample. You should self-isolate from others and contact
a healthcare provider for medical advice about your positive result.
Your healthcare provider will work with you to determine how best to
care for you based on your test result, medical history, and symptoms.
Q: WHAT IF I HAVE A NEGATIVE TEST RESULT?
A: A negative test result indicates that antigens from the virus that
causes COVID-19 were not detected in your sample. However, if you
have symptoms of COVID-19, and your first test is negative, you
should test again in 48 hours since antigen tests are not as sensitive as
molecular tests. If you do not have symptoms, and received a negative
result, you should test at least two more times with 48 hours in
between tests for a total of three tests. If you have a negative result, it
does not rule out SARS-CoV-2 infection; you may still be infected and
you may still infect others.
It is important that you work with your healthcare provider to help
you understand the next steps you should take.
Q:WHAT DOES AN INVALID TEST RESULT MEAN?
A: If no control line shows up on the test, the result is invalid (even if
any test line shows up). An invalid result means the test was not able
to tell if you have COVID-19 or not. If the test is invalid, a new swab
should be used to collect a new nasal specimen and the test should be
run again, using all new test components.
Q: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN ANTIGEN AND
MOLECULAR TEST?
A: There are different kinds of tests for the SARS-CoV-2virus that
causes COVID-19. Molecular tests detect genetic material from the
virus. Antigen tests such as the Genabio COVID-19 Rapid Self-Test Kit,
detect proteins from the virus. Due to the lower sensitivity of antigen
tests, there is a higher chance this test will give you a false negative
result when you have COVID-19 than a molecular test would.
Q: IS THERE OTHER INFORMATION AVAILABLE DESCRIBING THE
PERFORMANCE OF THIS TEST?
A: Yes. Please see the Healthcare Provider Instructions for Use
available at https://www.genabio.com for additional information. The
performance of this test is still being studied in patients without signs
and symptoms of respiratory infection and for serial screening.
Performance may differ in these populations.
