*212508210199*
COVID-19 RT PCR TEST

Test Name Result


COVID 19 RT PCR
SPECIMEN NASOPHARYNGEAL / OROPHARYNGEAL SWAB
METHOD Reverse Transcription Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction

SARS-COV-2 RNA NOT DETECTED

ORF1 AB GENE NOT DETECTED


N GENE NOT DETECTED

INTERPRETATION :
Positive test indicates presence of SARS CoV 2. Negative test result indicates absence of SARS CoV 2 or presence of SARS
CoV 2 below the assay detection limit. Targets considered for analysis of SARS COV 2 are N gene, ORF 1ab.
The PCR amplification cycle threshold (CT) value is only reported when amplification is seen for that target. Please note
that this is a qualitative assay and does not quantify viral load. CT values can vary due to a number of factors including,
but not limited to, the test kit used, the PCR instrument used, choice of fluorescent dyes, method of CT calling, setting of
baseline threshold, sample preparation methodology used, and cycling conditions. CT values from different labs and even
from the same lab are not directly comparable.
CONDITIONS OF REPORTING :
1) Each test method has its own limitations and they differ for each test method. The test result should be used in
conjunction with the clinical presentation and other relevant investigations. 2) The test results relate only to the specimen
sample received by the laboratory. 3) In the event of unforeseen circumstances (unavailability of test kits, failure of test
runs, instrumental breakdown and natural calamities) Suyog Life Care will make all the efforts in minimizing the delay in
report. 4) As per ICMR guideline CT value indicated in reports is not mandatory as well as
not advisable to be published on report, it is mentioned due to various enquiries received from Medical Practitioners. 5) In
all cases, clinical observations and other investigations (e.g. CT) along with epidemiological information should be
incorporated into the decision- making process. In spite of all precautions taken, the error (both administrative and
technical) associated with these types of molecular diagnostic tests can be as high as 1-2%.
LIMITATIONS OF THE ASSAY :
One or more negative results do not rule out the possibility of COVID-19 virus infection
and should not be used as the sole basis for patient management decisions. A number of factors can influence the result
including, presence of inhibitors, mutations, insufficient micro-organism RNA, limit of detection, and also poor quality of the
specimen, low sample volume, timing of specimen collection (late or very early in the infection), inappropriate sample
handling and shipping.
Suyog Life Care is authorised to perform Covid 19 RT-PCR testing by ICMR. The ICMR approval code is
SUYLICARPMH
