The AZOVA AT-Home RT PCR Test is a type of test called a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test. When you have COVID-19, the SARS-CoV-2 virus (the virus that causes COVID-19) can be present in your saliva. The AZOVA AT-Home RT PCR Test can detect small parts of SARS-CoV-2 virus in your saliva. These small parts of the SARS-CoV-2 virus are known as genetic material.
There are different kinds of tests for diagnosing COVID-19. Molecular tests (also known as PCR tests) detect genetic material from the virus. The Ellume COVID-19 Home Test is an antigen test which detects small parts or proteins from the virus. Antigen tests are very specific for the virus but are not as sensitive as molecular tests. Another type of test is an antibody test. A COVID-19 antibody test detects antibodies that have been made by your immune system in response to a previous COVID-19 infection. Antibody tests are not suitable to diagnose an active COVID-19 infection. For more information on COVID-19 testing, please see here.
No. The AZOVA AT-Home RT PCR Test is a single use test and cannot be reused.
No. This test is not yet approved or cleared by the United States FDA. When there are no FDA-approved or cleared tests available, and other criteria are met, FDA can make tests available under an emergency access mechanism called an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). The EUA for this test is supported by the Secretary of Health and Human Service’s (HHS’s) declaration that circumstances exist to justify the emergency use of in vitro diagnostics for the detection and/or diagnosis of the virus that causes COVID-19. This EUA will remain in effect (meaning this test can be used) for the duration of the COVID-19 declaration justifying the emergency of IVDs, unless it is terminated or revoked by FDA (after which the test may no longer be used).
There are no approved available alternative tests. FDA has issued EUAs for other tests that can be found here.
