FAQ
What is an antigen?
Antigens are proteins that are part of the COVID-19 virus. If the test detects antigens in your nasal sample, it means that an active COVID-19 virus is present in your body.

What does it mean if I have a positive result?
A positive test result means that proteins of the virus that causes COVID-19 have been found in your nasal swab sample. It is likely that you will need to perform self-isolation at home to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Please follow local guidelines for social distancing to limit the spread of the virus. All positive results must be confirmed with a laboratory PCR test.
What does it mean if I have a negative result?
A negative test result means that it is unlikely that you have COVID-19 at the time of testing. The test did not detect any antigens in your nasal swab sample. If symptoms continue, you should repeat the test after 1–2 days, as the coronavirus may not be detectable in the very early phases of infection. You are also advised to continue following local guidelines for self-isolation and consult your doctor
Does this test detect the new COVID-19 variants?
Abbott is intently monitoring for new mutations of COVID-19 so we can ensure our tests can detect them, as we do with many viruses. We have conducted a thorough analysis of known variants that we’ve been able to study, and we are confident that our tests remain effective at identifying these strains.
