Interpretation
2019-nCoV detected.
Positive and negative predictive values are highly dependent on prevalence.
False negative test results are more likely when prevalence of disease is high.
False positive test results are more likely when prevalence is moderate to low.
Performance of the CDC 2019-nCoV Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel has only been established in upper and lower
respiratory specimens (such as nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal swabs, sputum, lower respiratory tract aspirates,
bronchoalveolar lavage, and nasopharyngeal wash/aspirate or nasal aspirate) and has not been established for screening of
blood or blood products for the presence of 2019-nCoV.
This test cannot rule out diseases caused by other bacterial or viral pathogens.
