Our QuickVue At-Home OTC COVID-19 Test has received 510(k) clearance by the U.S. FDA under a new name – QuickVue COVID 19-Test.

The QuickVue COVID-19 Test is a lateral flow immunoassay device intended for the qualitative detection of nucleocapsid protein antigen from SARS-CoV-2.

This test is authorized for non-prescription home use with self-collected direct anterior nasal (nares) swab samples from individuals aged 14 years or older or adult-collected anterior nasal (nares) swab samples from individuals aged two years or older.

The QuickVue COVID-19 Test does not differentiate between SARS-CoV and SARS-C0V-2.
