Question 1

Abbott, not customers: what is the difference between this antigen self test and the binaxnow covid-19 ag card home test?

Accepted Answer

Hi, thank you for your question. The BinaxNOW COVID-19 Antigen Self Test does not currently pair with the NAVICA app. The BinaxNOW COVID-19 Home Test can provide a sharable digital COVID-19 result, through collaboration with eMed. The BinaxNOW COVID-19 Antigen Self Test is the identical test card to the professional test but can be purchased at retail locations without a prescription. There’s also no need for a healthcare professional or online proctor to administer the swab or interpret results. Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with.

Question 2

Waiting for customer reviews.  How accurate is the test?

Accepted Answer

This is an antigen test, not as accurate as a PCR molecular test.  Depends on the viral load in your nasal passages.  If positive you are likely infected with Covid.  If negative and have symptoms test again and get a PCR test.  I would not use to screen for Covid without symptoms.

Question 3

Telling me the box has an expiration date does not answer the question.  What is the shelf life?  3 mos, 6, mos, 1 yr?

Accepted Answer

Hi, product is manufactured with 12 month dating but with inventory turn it could be anywhere between 4-12 months. Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with.

Question 4

What specific variants can this detect~ What variants were used in the efficacy test specimens? Are these specified in the package/materials?

Accepted Answer

Hi, thank you for your question. Abbott is intently monitoring the mutations of COVID 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.  It is highly likely that future COVID-19 strains will remain detectable because our tests – and most other COVID-19 tests – look for parts of the virus that are crucial for the virus’ survival and therefore less subject to mutation.
