InteliSwab COVID-19 Rapid Test kit

Is this test FDA-approved and/or cleared? 

The InteliSwab COVID-19 Rapid Tests did receive Emergency Use Authorizations (EUA) from the FDA, but they are not FDA-approved or cleared. The EUA declares that specific circumstances exist to justify the emergency use of in vitro diagnostics for the detection of the viruses associated with COVID-19. The EUA is supported by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. It will continue to have EUA approval until the declaration is terminated or authorization is revoked by the FDA.  

Is this test reusable? 

No, this is a single-use product. 

Is the test easy to use? 

Unlike other COVID tests, InteliSwab is incredibly easy to use. Simply swab the nostrils and swirl the applicator in the premeasured solution in the tube. After, just wait for the results. This simple method eliminates unwanted or confusing steps, such as mailing samples or using a smartphone.

Does taking this test hurt? 

No. The swab is gentle and doesn't have any sharp tips. It should only be used to swab the lower part of the nostril. If any pain occurs, please discontinue use and seek help from a medical professional.

What's the difference between COVID-19 Rapid Test Pro and COVID-19 Rapid Test 

The COVID-19 Rapid Test Pro is for point-of-care use by medical professionals in CLIA-waved facilities. It contains 25 tests and five stands with three vial slots, which allows healthcare professionals to run 15 samples concurrently. The InteliSwab In-Office COVID-19 Test Pro kit is ideal for batch testing, unlike the OraSure InteliSwab At-Home COVID-19 Test, which tests one sample at a time.
