Data have not yet been submitted to FDA on administration of COMIRNATY (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA) or the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine at the same time with other vaccines. If you are considering receiving COMIRNATY (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA) or the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine with other vaccines, discuss your options with your healthcare provider.

Rapid Test Name: CareStart™ Plus System for rapid COVID-19 Testing

RESULTS READY IN 15 MINUTES

What is the CareStart™ COVID-19 Antigen?

The CareStartTM COVID-19 Antigen is a type of test called an antigen test. Antigen tests are designed to detect proteins from the virus thatcausesCOVID-19 in anterior nasal swabs.

What are the known and potential risks and benefits of the test?

POTENTIAL RISKS INCLUDE:

  • Possible discomfort or other complications that can happen during sample collection.
  • Possible incorrect test result (see below for more information).

POTENTIAL BENEFITS INCLUDE:

  • The results, along with other information, can help your healthcare provider make informed recommendations about your care.
  • The results of this test may help limit the spread of COVID-19 to your family and others in your community.

What are the differences between antigen tests and other Covid-19 tests?

There are different kinds of diagnostic tests for COVID19. Molecular tests (PCR are the most common type of molecular test detect genetic material from the virus. Antigen tests detect proteins from the virus. Antigen tests are very specific for the virus, but are not as sensitive as molecular tests. This means that a positive result is highly accurate, but a negative result does not rule out infection.
