Overview
The Quidel QuickVue At-Home OTC Covid-19 Test is a test that detects the nucleocapsid protein antigen from SARS-CoV-2 and provides rapid results within 10 mintues. Using an at-home test is beneficial for individuals who are exhibiting symptoms to determine infection status. It is also ideal for the screening of asymptomatic individuals. The antigen test provides a convenient, cost-effective option when a negative test result is required prior to travel or surgery.
The QuickVue Antigen OTC Test kit makes it simple and easy to self-perform or administer to another person. The nasal specimen is collected and inserted into a pre-filled vial to ensure hassle-free testing. There is no measuring, dispensing, or second-guessing if the correct amount of solution was added. Best of all, there is no sending off the test to a lab to wait for results.
The Quidel QuickVue At-Home OTC Covid-19 Test strip provides straightforward results within 10 minutes. If the protein is present, a pink and blue line indicates a positive test result and a single blue line is negative.

Cautions for QuickView AT-Home OTC Test
- Positive results indicate the presence of viral antigens. The individual's medical history and other diagnostic information must also be considered to determine infection status.
- Positive results do not rule out bacterial infection or co-infection with other viruses. Individuals who test positive with the QuickVue At-Home OTC Antigen Test should self-isolate and seek follow-up care with their physician or healthcare provider.
- Negative results should be treated as presumptive; do not rule out SARS-CoV-2 infection when making infection-control decisions.
- The kit is authorized for the detection of proteins from SARS-CoV-2, not for any other viruses or pathogens.
- Results are intended to be read at 10 minutes; if the test is read before this timeframe or it is read more than five minutes after the indicated read-time, results may be inaccurate and the test should be repeated.
