COVID-19 Human IgM IgG Rapid Test Instructions For Use
INTENDED USE
This product is a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay for rapid, qualitative detection of human IgM and IgG antibodies against COVID-19 virus in human venous whole blood (dipotassium EDTA, sodium heparin, sodium citrate), serum, plasma (dipotassium EDTA, sodium heparin, sodium citrate), and finger prick whole blood (dipotassium EDTA, tripotassium EDTA, no anticogulant). Abnova COVID-19 Human IgM IgG Rapid Test is intended for use as an aid in identifying individuals with immune response to SARS-CoV-2 indicating recent or prior infection. It is unknown how long antibodies persist following infection and if the presence of antibodies confer protective immunity. It should not be used to diagnose acute SARS-CoV-2 infection.
This test is limited to testing in laboratories certified under Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA), 42 U.S.C. 263a that meets the requirements to perform moderate or high complexity tests. This test is also authorized for use with finger prick whole blood (dipotassium EDTA, tripotassium EDTA, no anticogulant) at the Point of Care (POC), for example in patient care setting under a CLIA Certificate of Waiver, Certificate of Compliance, or Certificate of Accreditation.
Positive results demonstrate IgM and/or IgG antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 detectable in blood several days after initial infection. All positive results should be reported to the appropriate public health authorities. Negative results do not preclude acute SARS-CoV-2 infection and should be confirmed with a FDA authorized molecular assay. False positive results may occur due to cross-reactivity from pre-existing antibodies or other possible causes, and should be confirmed using a second, different IgM IgG assay.
BACKGROUND
In 2019, a novel coronavirus was identified as the cause of an outbreak of severe respiratory disease in China. On February 11, 2020, the disease was officially named “Coronavirus Disease 2019” (COVID-19).
1 As the first line of defense against viral
infection, human IgM antibody is generated when one becomes infected with the COVID-19 virus. The level of IgM will rise within 2 weeks and then drop; accordingly, a second antibody IgG, which is more protective than IgM antibody, develops within 4 weeks.
2 Results from antibody testing should not be used as the sole basis to
diagnose or exclude COVID-19 infection or to inform infection status.
PRINCIPLE OF THE TEST
Abnova COVID-19 Human IgM IgG Rapid Test utilizes the technique of chromatography and qualitative immunoassay to detect the presence of IgM and IgG antibodies against COVID-19 virus in human venous whole blood, serum, plasma, and finger prick whole blood. During testing, the blood sample firstly interacts with COVID-19 protein antigens labeled gold nanoparticles in the Sample Zone. By capillary action, the mixed sample flows across the membrane strip. Human IgM antibodies interact with the anti-human IgM antibodies coated in the Result Zone showing a visible colored line. Similarly, a colored line in the IgG test zone demonstrates the presence of human IgG antibodies. Control line must appear every time to ensure the quality of the sample processing.

SAMPLE REQUIREMENT
Whole blood sample should be used fresh. Serum and plasma sample can be stored at 2°C - 8°C for no more than one week. Bring serum and plasma back to room temperature (15°C - 30°C) 15 minutes before use.
VENOUS WHOLE BLOOD, SERUM AND PLASMA TEST PROCEDURE
1. Take out COVID-19 Testing Strip and Sample Buffer, and adjust to room temperature (15°C - 30°C).
2. Place the COVID-19 Testing Strip on a balanced surface.
3. Take 20 μL whole blood, 10μL serum or 10μL plasma with a pipette, and drop the sample into the Sample Zone of the COVID-19 Testing Strip (DO NOT drop the sample into the Result Zone).
4. Wait until the sample has fully penetrated the Sample Zone. Add 4 drops of Sample Buffer vertically to the Sample Zone. (DO NOT drop the Sample Buffer into the Result Zone).
5. Wait up to15 minutes for the colored line(s) to appear and then read the result at 15 minutes (DO NOT read after 20 minutes).
FINGER PRICK WHOLE BLOOD TEST PROCEDURE
1. Twist off the protective cap of the 23G lancet (Cat# 9087, ApexBio Disposable Safety Blood Lancet, ApexBio) and pull it straight out.
2. Clean the fingertip with an alcohol swab. Press the lancet against the puncture site and press the push-button to activate the device.

TEST LIMITATIONS
1. Use of Abnova COVID-19 Human IgM IgG is limited to laboratory personnel who have been trained. Not for home use.
2. This product can only be used to detect the IgG and IgM antibodies of the novel SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus in human venous whole blood, serum, plasma, and finger prick whole blood. It cannot be used with other body fluids or secretions.
3. This product is only for qualitative testing and the specific content of each indicator must be measured using other quantitative methodologies.
4. For optimal test performance, proper sample collection is critical. Failure to follow the procedure may give inaccurate results.
5. Reading test results earlier than 15 minutes after the addition of Sample Buffer may yield erroneous results. Do not interpret the results after 20 minutes.
6. Add incorrect drops of Sample Buffer may lead to erroneous results.
7. In the early onset of symptom, anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgM and IgG antibody concentration maybe below detectable levels.
8. SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies may be below detectable levels in patients who have been exhibiting symptoms for less than 14 days.
9. Results from immunosuppressed patients should be interpreted with caution.
10. Positive results may be due to past or present infection with non-SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus strains, such as coronavirus HKU1, NL63, OC43, or 229E.
11. Negative results may be caused by low concentrations of the novel SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus IgM and IgG antibody in the sample and therefore cannot completely rule out the possibility of infection.
12. False positive results for IgM and IgG antibodies may occur due to cross-reactivity from pre-existing antibodies or other possible causes.
13. False negative results may occur if the viral antigen is below the detection limit of the test or if sample was collected improperly.
14. The results of this test are for clinical reference only and should not be the only basis to diagnose, to exclude SARS-CoV-2 infection or to inform infection status. Results should be used in combination with clinical observations and other testing methods.
15. It is unknown at this time if the presence of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 confers immunity to reinfection.
INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS
Result zone of the COVID-19 Testing Strip indicates human IgM line (M line), IgG line (G line) and control line (C line). C line must appear to ensure the quality of sample processing. Please refer to the diagram below for interpretation:
Note: Report all positive results to the appropriate public health authorities. For invalid results, review the procedure and repeat the procedure with a new test. If the problem persists, discontinue using the test kit and contact local distributors and Abnova.
QUALITY CONTROL
The internal positive control line validates the immunological integrity of the testing strips, proper reagent function, and assures correct test procedure.
The internal controls do not assess proper sample collection technique.
NOTIFICATION
Clinical laboratories and healthcare providers must include this information in their patient test report:
1. This test is limited to testing in laboratories or by healthcare workers. It is considered as a high complexity test by default under CLIA requirements.
2. Negative results do not rule out SARS-CoV-2 infection, particularly in those who have been in contact with the virus. Follow-up testing with a molecular diagnostic should be considered to rule out infection in these individuals.
3. Results from antibody testing should not be used as the sole basis to diagnose or exclude SARS-CoV-2 infection or to inform infection status.
4. Positive results may be due to past or present infection with non-SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus strains, such as coronavirus HKU1, NL63, OC43, or 229E.
