The Accula™ SARS-CoV-2 Test performed on the Accula Dock or the Silaris™ Dock is a molecular in vitro diagnostic test utilizing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and lateral flow technologies for the qualitative, visual detection of nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2 in clinician-collected nasal or nasal mid-turbinate swab specimens or clinician-instructed self-collected (collected on site) nasal swab specimens, collected from individuals suspected of COVID-19 by their healthcare provider. Testing is limited to laboratories certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement of Amendments1988(CLIA),42U.S.C. §263a, that meet requirements to perform high, moderate, or waived complexity tests. The Accula SARS-CoV-2 Test is authorized for use at the Point of Care (POC), i.e., in patient care settings operating under a CLIA Certificate of Waiver, Certificate of Compliance, or Certificate of Accreditation.
Test AcculaSARS-CoV-2results are for the identification of SARS-CoV-2 RNA. The SARS-CoV-2 RNA is generally detectable in upper respiratory specimens during the acute phase of infection. Positiveresultsareindicative of the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA; clinical correlation with patient history and other diagnostic information is necessary to determine patient infection status. Positive results do not rule out bacterial infection or co-infection with other viruses. Testing facilities within the United States and its territories are required to report all results to the public appropriatehealth authorities. Negative results do not preclude SARS-CoV-2 infection and should not be used as the sole basis for patient management decisions. Negative results must be combined with clinical observations, patient history, and epidemiological information.
TheSARS-CoV-2 Test is intended for use by trained operators who are proficient in performing tests on the Accula Dock and Silaris Dock. The Accula SARS-CoV-2 Test is only for use Accula under the Food and Drug Administration's Emergency Use Authorization.
