SARS-CoV-2/2019-nCoV
Assay Results
The Analytical Specificity of this test is 99.99% as determined by the Primer Blast against common organisms and flora found in the respiratory tract and the Analytical
Sensitivity of this test is 95% at 40 GCE, 99.99% at 200 GCE as determined by RT-PCR.
This test was intended to detect SARS-CoV-2 (also known as 2019-nCoV) the pathogen associated with COVID-19 pneumonia. A Positive (Detected) result for this test is
indicative of an active infection with this virus. A Negative (Not Detected) result does not rule out the presence of infection as patients in the pre-symptomatic or convalescent
phases of the infection may not express the virus in the nasopharyngeal airway. In rare cases the result may be Inconclusive. That case arises if the results do not meet all the
requirements for a reliable determination of the presence of the virus. A second sample should be collected to resolve those cases.
These tests were developed, characterized and interpreted by Access. The tests in this report have not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. The FDA has
determined that such approval is not necessary, provided that the laboratory both (1) maintains its good standing as a clinical testing laboratory with all mandatory accrediting
bodies, and (2) continually demonstrates that its testing protocols and procedures achieve a high degree of analytical accuracy.
The COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) has not been FDA cleared or approved. This test is currently under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) review by the FDA. This test has
been validated in accordance with the FDA's Guidance Document (Policy for Diagnostics Testing in Laboratories Certified to Perform High Complexity Testing under CLIA
prior to Emergency Use Authorization for Coronavirus Disease-2019 during the Public Health Emergency) issued on February 29th, 2020. FDA independent review of this
validation is pending. This test is only authorized for the duration of time the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of the emergency use of in vitro
diagnostic tests for detection of SARS-CoV-2 virus and/or diagnosis of COVID-19 infection under section 564(b)(1) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. 360bbb-3(b)(1), unless the
authorization is terminated or revoked sooner.
Disclaimer: Limitation: An absence of detection does not imply the absence of microorganisms other than those listed or does not exclude the possibility that the target
sequence is present below the limit of detection.
