PCR SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-
19) Clinical Significance:
Result Remarks
Positive RNA specific to SARS-CoV-2 Detected.
Negative RNA specific to SARS-CoV-2 NOT detected.
Inconclusive A repeat testing on fresh sample is recommended.
ICMR Covid - 19 lab Registration number is HIWEPLGH.
Test conducted on Nasal & Throat Swab Samples.
Lower respiratory tract samples like Sputum, BAL, ET aspirate are appropriate samples especially in severe and
progressive lung disease. Kindly consult referring Physician / Authorized hospitals for appropriate follow up. Covid-
19 Test conducted as per kits approved by ICMR / CE-IVD / USFDA.

Limitations:
1. Negative results do not preclude COVID-19 and should not be used as the sole basis for patient management decisions. Negative results
must be combined with clinical observations, patient history, and epidemiological information.
2. Presence of inhibitors, mutations or insufficient RNA Specific to SARS-CoV-2 can influence the test result. Kindly correlate the results with
clinical findings.
3. Positive results but do not rule out bacterial infection or co-infection with other viruses.
4. Optimum specimen types and timing for peak viral levels during infections caused by 2019-nCoV have not been determined. Collection of
multiple specimens (types and time points) from the same patient may be necessary to detect the virus.
5. If the virus mutates in the rRT-PCR target region, 2019-nCoV may not be detected or may be detected less predictably. Inhibitors or other
types of interference may produce a false negative result.
6. The performance of this test has not been established for monitoring treatment of 2019-nCoV infection.

Comments: SARS-CoV-2, formerly known as 2019-nCoV, is the causative agent of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Main symptoms
of the disease include fever, cough and shortness of breath. The virus is spread via person-to-person contact through respiratory droplets
produced when a person coughs or sneezes. The SARSCoV-2 RNA is generally detectable in nasopharyngeal/oropharyngeal swabs during
the acute phase of infection. Positive results are indicative of active infection. Real Time PCR assay targets specific genes and can be used
for diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 virus infection which contributes to severe upper respiratory distress, complications
