Truenat COVID-19 is a chip-based Real Time duplex Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT PCR) test for
the semi quantitative detection of SARS CoV-2 RNA in human oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal swab specimens and
aids in detection and confirmation of SARS CoV-2 infection and diagnosis of COVID-19. The test detects the E and Orf1a
genes of the virus. Truenat COVID-19 runs on Real Time Quantitative micro PCR Analyzers. Negative results do not
preclude SARS-CoV-2 infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other patient management
decisions. Negative results must be combined with clinical observations, patient history, and epidemiological
information. A false negative result may occur if a specimen is improperly collected, transported or handled. False
negative results may also occur if inadequate numbers of organisms are present in the specimen. As with any molecular
test, mutations within the target regions of the kit used in this assay could affect primer and/or probe binding resulting in
failure to detect the presence of virus.
