The SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Self Test Nasal is a "lateral flow" test used for the qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antigen in human nasal samples. The test detects SARS-CoV-2 virus antigens in people with suspected COVID-19 infection. It is intended for use as a "do it yourself test" for patients. The clinical performance of the SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Self Test Nasal for the "do it yourself" test was evaluated using nasal swab samples from 146 participants in a prospective study (139 of which within 7 days of symptom onset) that occurred carried out at a clinical center in Germany. Clinical evaluations were carried out independently of manufacturer and distributor, as part of a collaboration between the Charité university hospitals in Berlin and Heidelberg.

SARS-CoV-2 infection was diagnosed (by PCR) in 27.4% of patients. The clinical performance of the SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Self Test Nasal was also evaluated against professional testing, performed after self-collection and professional collection of nasal swab specimens at the same clinical site. 229 adults with clinical suspicion of SARS-CoV-2 infection were included in the prospective study. 133 study participants (126 of whom within 7 days of onset of symptoms) were subjected to nasal sampling by healthcare professionals, while 96 study participants (83 of whom within 7 days of onset of symptoms) followed the instructions for self-collection of samples with nasal swab.
