What is a Covid-19 Antigen test?
The rapid antigen COVID-19 test we are offering uses a nasal swab to collect a sample. This test will tell you if you have antigens for an active COIVD-19 infection. Antigen tests are designed to detect proteins from the virus that causes COVID-19 in respiratory specimens such as nasal swabs.
Is it possible for this test to give a negative result that is incorrect (false negative)?
It is possible for these test to give a false negative. This means that you could possibly still have COVID-19. The amount of antigen in a sample may decrease the longer you have symptoms of infection. If your result is negative and you have symptoms of Covid-19 contact your healthcare provider for further instructions.
How accurate is this antigen test?
These tests have a specificity of 100%, meaning that false positives are extremely unlikely. The sensitivity of the CareStart™ Covid-19 Antigen test is 94% (nasopharyngeal obtained specimen). Therefore, it is possible for these tests to give a negative result that is incorrect (false negative) in some people with COVID-19. If your test result is negative, your healthcare provider will consider the test result together with all other aspects of your medical history (such as symptoms, possible exposures, and geographical location of places you have recently traveled) in deciding how to care for you. The amount of antigen in a sample may decrease the longer you have symptoms of infection. Specimens collected after you have had symptoms for more than five days may be more likely to be negative. We do recommend that patients wait at least 24 hours after exposure or developing symptoms before getting tested.
What type of PCR test do you offer?
Our test is an Assay: RT-PCR. This test result qualifies for travel to Hawaii and other destinations. Our test is sent overnight air to a testing lab and results are returned the following evening.

Emergency Use Authorization
We use the CareStart™ Covid-19 Antigen Test for Rapid Detection of SARS‑CoV‑2. This is a diagnostic antigen test using immunoassays that detect the presence of a specific viral antigen indicative of a SARS-CoV-2 infection. The FDA has granted emergency use authorization (EUA) for some SARS‑CoV‑2 antigen tests, including the CareStart™ test. This EUA will remain in effect for the duration of the COVID-19 declaration, unless it is terminated or revoked by FDA (after which the test may no longer be used).
