Q: What is a Covid-19 rapid antigen test (RAT)?

 

The COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test is a single-use test kit intended to detect the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein antigens that causes COVID-19 in human nasal samples or saliva spicemens or oral fluid.

The COVID Rapid Test is designed to be used by individuals as a self-test for home and workplace (in offices, for sporting events, airports, schools, age care, hospital, construction sites etc.).

For best performance, it is recommended this test be used within 7 days post-onset of symptoms.

Q: What is the benefit of Rapid antigen Testing? 

 

1. To protect yourself, family you love and Australian businesses from the covid-19 spread.

Rapid antigen Tests are designed as a serial screening tool whereby individuals test ourselves 2 or 3 times a week to detect if we are an asymptomatic carrier of covid-19. These tests are most effective when we are infectious and are one more layer of peace of mind and safety.

You don’t necessarily to have symptoms to infect others with COVID-19, so rapid testing is a critical tool to screen asymptomatic people who are potentially infectious with COVID-19. We can help stop COVID before it spreads, reduce risks, keep family and community safe and maintain business operations.

• You may be asked to have regular rapid antigen point-of-care tests at workplace (like age care, hospital, airports, construction sites, etc) or school when your employer has a COVID-19 surveillance program in place.

Q: How does a COVID-19 rapid antigen test compare to regular laboratory-based PCR tests?

 

To compare to the regular laboratory-based PCR test, COVID-19 rapid antigen tests must be considered preliminary.

RATs can detect COVID-19 during the ‘acute’ stage of infection — especially just before you show symptoms and in the week after symptoms first appeared. All RATs authorised by TGA with the sensitivity rate over 85% but they’re still not as reliable as PCR tests.
