Further Details

The Rapid ResponseTM COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test Cassette – At Home is an in vitro
immunochromatographic assay intended to detect nucleocapsid protein antigen from SARS-CoV-2 virus
that causes COVID-19 in nasal swab samples from individuals suspected of COVID-19 within 7 days of
symptom onset and from individuals without symptoms or other epidemiological reasons to suspect
COVID-19 infection. The test is intended for serial testing of symptomatic individuals for use at least
twice with 48 hours between tests, or for serial testing of asymptomatic individuals for use at least three
times with 48 hours between tests. This device is authorized for home-use in a non-laboratory setting with
direct anterior nasal (nares) swab samples for:
– Unobserved self-collection for individuals aged 18 years or older
– Adult supervised self-collection for individuals for ages 14 or older
– Adult collection from individuals aged 2 years or older
This test is authorized for home use only under the Health Canada Interim Order.
The Rapid ResponseTM COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test Cassette – At Home does not differentiate between
SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2.
People who test positive with the Rapid ResponseTM COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test Cassette – At Home
should seek follow up care with their physician or healthcare provider as additional testing and public
health reporting may be necessary. Positive results do not rule out bacterial infection or co-infection with
other viruses. People who test negative and continue to experience COVID-19 like symptoms of fever,
cough and/or shortness of breath may still have SARS-CoV-2 infection. Negative results are presumptive.
The Rapid ResponseTM COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test Cassette – At Home is intended for self-use and/or,
as applicable for an adult lay user testing for another person aged 2 years or older in a non-laboratory
setting. The Rapid Response™ COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test Cassette – At Home is only for use under
the Health Canada Interim Order.
