The AcuVid COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Saliva Test is a lateral flow immunoassay to detect SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antigens in human saliva specimens from individuals suspected of COVID-19 by their healthcare provider within the first seven days of symptom onset, or from individuals without symptoms or other epidemiological reasons to suspect. The AcuVid COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Saliva Test performance will be compared to a high sensitivity FDA EUA approved RT-PCR COVID-19 test. Nasopharyngeal (for RT-PCR) swab results will be collected from subjects by healthcare providers at CLIA Waived COVID-19 Testing Centers, and on the same day the subjects will also provide saliva samples which will be tested and interpreted by the healthcare providers. This prospective, observational, study will test up to 300 participants to establish the performance characteristics of the AcuVid test on saliva specimens.

RECRUITINGEstablish performance of AcuVid COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Saliva Test
To establish the performance characteristics of the AcuVid COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Saliva Test in a point-of-care (POC) CLIA Waived setting with lay users (no laboratory experience) testing a participant that has self-collected a saliva specimen. Clinical accuracy of the AcuVid Test will be compared to RT-PCR test results. Accuracy refers to the (PPA, positive percent agreement (sensitivity) and (NPA, negative percent agreement (specificity) between the results of the AcuVid Test and the comparator RT-PCR test.
