Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

4. What you need to do if you get a positive result?

5. What you need to do if you get a negative result?

6. What you need to do if you get a invalid result?

Consult your healthcare provider or local health department as soon as possible, and follow

local guidelines for self-isolation to avoid spreading the virus to others. A new test with other

test methods, such as molecular testing may be required.

If you have no symptoms, particularly if you live in an area with low numbers of COVID-19

infections and have had no exposure to anyone diagnosed with COVID-19, additional molecular

testing to confirm your result may be required. Please advise the healthcare professional you

have tested positive and have no symptoms. See FAQ 'Can I have a false positive test result?'.

Please consult your healthcare provider if you develop symptoms or symptoms are persisting,

or if you are concerned about your health. You must continue to comply with all applicable

rules regarding contact with others and protective measures.

It is possible for this test to give a negative result that is incorrect (false negative) in some

people with COVID-19. Please see FAQ 'Can I have a false negative test result?'.

You need to retest with a new test cassette or consult your healthcare provider.

7. What to do with used kits?

The used test cassette should be discarded according to federal, state and local regulations.

Collect parts of the kit and swab specimens in a plastic bag and dispose of them with

household waste.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

8. How does the CLUNGENE COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test work?

The CLUNGENE COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test is a type of test called an antigen test. When

you have COVID-19, the SARS-CoV-2 virus (the virus that causes COVID-19) can be present

in your nasal secretions. The CLUNGENE COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test can detect small

parts of SARS-CoV-2 virus in your nasal secretions. These small parts of the SARS-CoV-2

virus are known as proteins or antigens.

9. Will this test hurt?

No, the nasal swab is not sharp and it should not hurt. Sometimes the swab can feel slightly

uncomfortable or tickly. If you feel pain, please stop the test and seek advice from a

healthcare provider.

10. What are the potential benefits and risks of this test?

Potential risks include:

Possible discomfort during sample collection.

Possible incorrect test results (see Results section).

Potential benefits include:

The results, along with other information, can help your healthcare provider make informed

recommendations about your treatment/care.

The results of this test may help limit the spread of COVID-19 to your family and others in

your community.

11. Is the test reusable?

No. The CLUNGENE COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test is a single use test and cannot be reused.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

12. What is the difference between a COVID-19 antigen, molecular, and antibody test?

There are different kinds of tests for COVID-19. Molecular tests (also known as PCR tests)

detect genetic material from the virus. Antigen tests detect proteins from the virus. Antigen tests

are very specific for the virus, but are not as sensitive as molecular tests. This means that a

positive result is highly accurate, but a negative result does not rule out infection. If your test

result is negative, you should discuss with your healthcare provider whether an additional

molecular test would help with your care, and when you should discontinue home isolation.

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.

13. How to open the extraction reagent correctly?

14. Can I freeze the device for long-term storage?

Hold the tube at a distance from your face and gently twist the lid. If extraction reagent comes in

contact with your body, please pay attention to the following:

Skin Contact: Wash off with plenty of water, Seek medical attention if necessary.

Eye Contact: Wash with running water, saline or Eye washing liquid, Seek medical attention if

necessary.

Ingestion: Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Let water be drunk in little sips (dilution effect).

Do NOT induce vomiting. In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical advice.

Store as packaged in the sealed pouch between 4-30℃, and ensure all test components are at

room temperature(15-30 ℃) before performing the test.

15. Can I collect the specimen and test at a later time?

The specimen should be tested immediately after collection.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

16. Can I have a false negative test result?

17. Can I have a false positive test result?

It is possible for this test to give a negative result that is incorrect (a false negative result).

This means that you could possibly have COVID-19 even though the test is negative.

The amount of antigen in a sample may decrease as the duration of illness increases. As

days post-symptom onset increase, antigen test results may be more likely to be negative

compared to a molecular SARS-CoV-2 test. You may also test negative at the very beginning

of your infection before you develop symptoms.

Negative results, particularly in people without symptoms of COVID-19, are considered to be

presumptive which means that additional testing with a highly sensitive molecular assay may

be recommended to determine if you have COVID-19. If you develop symptoms, symptoms

persist or become more severe, if you are concerned about your health or if you develop any

of the emergency warning signs then you should seek medical attention immediately. If you

have any doubt about your test result, please discuss with your healthcare provider.

There is a chance that this test can give a positive result that is incorrect (a false positive

result).Anyone who receives a positive test result needs to consult a healthcare professional. If

you have any doubt about your test result, please discuss it with your healthcare provider. Your

healthcare provider will work with you to determine how best to care for you based on your test

result along with your medical history and symptoms.

If you do not have symptoms of COVID-19 and get a positive result, your test results should be

confirmed with a molecular SARS-COV-2 test. Positive results from the CLUNGENE COVID-

19 Antigen Rapid Test are presumptive in asymptomatic patients, particularly if you do not

have a known SARS-CoV-2 exposure and/or live in an area known to have low numbers of

SARS-CoV- 2 infections.
