There are different kinds of tests for COVID-19. Molecular tests (also known as PCR tests) de-tect genetic material from the virus. Antigen tests, such as the MediConcepts COVID-19 Anti-gen Home Test detect proteins from the virus. Antigen tests are very specific for the COVID-19 virus but are not as sensitive as molecular tests. This means that a positive result is highly accu-rate, but a negative result does not rule out infection. If your test result is negative, you should discuss with your healthcare provider whether an additional molecular test is necessary and if you should continue isolating at home.

Another type of test is an antibody test. A COVID-19 antibody test detects antibodies that have been produced by your immune system in response to a previous COVID-19 infection or vac-cination. Antibody tests are not suitable for diagnosing an active COVID-19 infection.

A positive test result means that antigens from COVID-19 were detected and it is very likely you currently have COVID-19. There is a very small chance that this test can give a positive result that is wrong (a false-positive result).

If you test positive you should self-isolate at home per CDC recommendations to stop spreading the virus to others. Please consult the CDC recommendations regarding self-isolation at www.cdc.gov/coronavirus. Seek follow-up care with your healthcare provider immediately. Your healthcare provider will work with you to determine how best to care for you based on your test result(s), medical history and symptoms.

A negative test result indicates no antigens for COVID-19 were detected. It is possible for this test to give a negative result that is incorrect (a false-negative result) in some people with COVID-19. Negative results are presumptive and may need to be confirmed with a molecular test. This means that you could possibly still have COVID-19 even though the test is negative.

If you test negative and continue to experience symptoms of fever, cough and/or shortness of breath you should seek follow-up care with your healthcare provider immediately. Your healthcare provider may suggest you need another test to determine if you have contracted the virus causing COVID-19. If you are concerned about your COVID-19 infection status after test-ing or think you may need follow-up testing, please contact your healthcare provider.

If you do not get a line at the C-line on your test device, you have an invalid test. An invalid test result indicates that not enough specimen volume was collected or incorrect test operation are the likely reasons for an invalid result. Please review the instructions again and repeat the test with a new test kit.

A false positive is a test result that indicates a person has a specific disease or condition when the person actually does not have the disease or condition. A false-negative test result indicates a person does not have a specific disease or condition when the person actually does have the disease or condition. Incorrect specimen collection and sample preparation can result in false-negative and false-positive test results. Therefore, before you begin the test, it is very important to watch the instructional video, and read the instructions provided in the test package, and closely follow all instructions.

The type of testing and documentation required for your international or domestic air travel may or may not be acceptable based on your travel destination, airline, and state requirements.
