Intended Use

The Healgen Rapid COVID-19 Antigen Test is a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay intended for the rapid, qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein antigens directly in anterior nasal swabs specimens from individuals with signs and symptoms of upper respiratory infection within the first six (6) days of symptom onset. The test is intended for use as an aid in the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infections (COVID-19) in symptomatic individuals when either: tested at least twice over three days with at least 48 hours between tests; or when tested once, and negative by the Healgen Rapid COVID-19 Antigen Test and followed with a molecular test. The test does not differentiate between SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2. A negative test result is presumptive and it is recommended these results be confirmed by a molecular SARS-CoV-2 assay. Negative results do not preclude SARS-CoV-2 infections and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other patient management decisions. Positive results do not rule out co-infection with other respiratory pathogens. Performance characteristics for SARS-CoV-2 were established from May 2022 to July 2022 when SARS-CoV-2 Omicron was the predominant SARS-CoV-2 variant in circulation. When other SARS-CoV-2 virus variants are emerging, performance characteristics may vary.

#### INTENDED USE

The Healgen Rapid COVID-19 Antigen Test is a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay intended for the rapid, qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein antigens directly in anterior nasal swabs specimens from individuals with signs and symptoms of upper respiratory infection within the first six (6) days of symptom onset. The test is intended for use as an aid in the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infections (COVID-19) in symptomatic individuals when either: tested at least twice over three days with at least 48 hours between tests; or when tested once, and negative by the Healgen Rapid COVID-19 Antigen Test and followed with a molecular test

#### The test does not differentiate between SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2.

A negative test result is presumptive and it is recommended these results be confirmed by a molecular SARS-CoV-2 assay. Negative results do not preclude SARS-CoV-2 infections and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other patient management decisions.

Positive results do not rule out co-infection with other respiratory pathogens

Performance characteristics for SARS-CoV-2 were established from May 2022 to July 2022 when SARS-CoV-2 Omicron was the predominant SARS-CoV-2 variant in circulation. When other SARS-CoV-2 virus variants are emerging, performance characteristics may vary.

#### SUMMARY

Coronaviruses belong to the ß genus. Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) is an acute respiratory infectious disease in patients infected by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The virus incubation period typically ranges from 1 to 14 days, and symptoms may appear within 2 to 14 days following exposure. Possible symptoms include fever or chills, fatique, new loss of taste or smell shortness of breath or difficulty breathing cough nasal congestion or runny nose, sore throat, myalgia, nausea or vomiting, headache, and diarrhea.

This test is for detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein antigen to aid in the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Antigen is generally detectable in upper respiratory specimens during the acute phase of infection.

### PRINCIPLE

The Healgen Rapid COVID-19 Antigen Test uses antibodies to detect nucleocapsid protein from SARS-CoV-2 in direct nasal (anterior nares) swabs. If SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antigen is present in the sample a line will form at the test line at "T", which means the test is positive. If SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein antigen is not in the sample a test line will not appear at "T" which means the test is negative. A control will always appear at "O" on a test that is functioning properly and when the test procedure has been followed.

#### INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS

#### POSITIVE

Image /page/2/Figure/85 description: The image shows two COVID-19 antigen rapid tests. The test on the left shows two red lines, one at the control line (C) and one at the test line (T), indicating a positive result. The test on the right shows a red line at the control line (C) and a faint red line at the test line (T), also indicating a positive result, although the intensity of the test line is weaker.

If the Control (C) line and the Test (T) line are visible, the test is positive. Any visible faint red or pink test (T) line with a visible control (C) line should be read as positive. Repeat testing is not needed for individuals with a positive result.

#### NEGATIVE

Image /page/2/Figure/88 description: The image shows a COVID-19 rapid antigen test. The test has a control line (C) visible, but no test line (T). The presence of only the control line indicates a negative test result.

If the Control (C) line is visible, but the Test (T) line is not visible, the test is negative. A negative test result indicates that the virus that causes COVID-19 was not detected in the sample

Image /page/2/Figure/91 description: The image shows a COVID-19 rapid antigen test. The test has a white plastic casing with a small rectangular window in the center. Inside the window, a single red line is visible at the bottom, near the 'T' marking, indicating a positive test result.

Image /page/2/Picture/92 description: The image shows a close-up of a COVID-19 test strip. The strip has labels "COVID-19 Ag" at the top. Below this, there are two indicators labeled "C" and "T". The image appears to be a diagram or illustration of the test strip rather than a photograph of a physical test.

If a control (C) line is not visible, the test is not valid. Invalid tests should be repeated with a new test.

#### LIMITATIONS

- 1. This test is only for the detection of proteins from SARS-CoV-2, not for any other viruses or pathogens.
- 2. The test is intended to only be used with direct anterior nasal swabs and is not validated for use with swabs in viral transport media.
- 3. This test is only for use with individuals who show symptoms of upper respiratory infection within 6 days of symptom onset.
- Serial testing should be performed in individuals with negative results at least twice over three days (with 48 hours between tests) for symptomatic individuals.
- This test is not for use in at-home test settings.
- 6. This test is read visually and has not been validated for use by those with impaired vision or color-impaired vision.
- 7. This test should not be used beyond the expiration date listed on the packaging. Use of expired tests can lead to incorrect results.
- 8. Accurate results are dependent on adequate specimen collection, transport, storage, and processing. Failure to observe procedures in any one of these steps can lead to incorrect results.
- 9. Test results should be interpreted in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory information available to the healthcare provider. Results from the Page 1 of 2

{3}------------------------------------------------

device should be correlated with the clinical history, epidemiological data, and other data available to the clinician evaluating the patient.

- 10. A negative test result does not preclude the possibility of infection with othe bacteria or viruses
- 11. A negative test result may occur if the level of antigen in the sample is below the detection limit of the test.
- 12. All COVID-19 antigen test negative results are presumptive and confirmation with a molecular assav may be necessary.
- 13. There is a higher chance of false negative results with antigen tests than with laboratory-based molecular tests due to the sensitivity of the test technology. This means that there is a higher chance this test will give a false negative result in an individual with COVID-19 as compared to a molecular test, especially in samples with low viral load.
- 14. Positive test results do not rule out co-infections with other non-SARS viral or bacterial pathogens.
- 15. Positive test results do not differentiate between SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-
- 16. False positive test results are more likely when prevalence of upper respiratory infection is low in the community.
- 17. This test detects both viable (live) and non-viable SARS-CoV-2 virus. Test performance depends on the amount of virus (antigens) in the sample and may or may not correlate with viral culture results performed on the same sample. A false-negative test result may occur if the level of viral antigen in a sample is below the detection limit of the test or if the sample was collected or transported improperly.
- 18. There is a risk of erroneous results (i.e., false negatives) due to the presence of novel, emerging respiratory viral variants (e.g., specific strains or isolates).
- 19. The performance of this test was established based on the evaluation of a limited number of clinical specimens collected between May 2022 and July 2022. The clinical performance has not been established in all circulating variants but is anticipated to be reflective of the prevalent variants in circulation at the time and location of the clinical evaluation. Performance at the time of testing may vary denending on the variants circulating including newly emerging strains of SARS-CoV-2 and their prevalence, which change over time.
- 20. Based on sequence analysis, a potential for cross-reactivity between the SARS-CoV-2 test and HKU1 exists. Wet testing for HKU1 coronavirus was not conducted and therefore, cross-reactivity between SARS-CoV-2 and HKU1 coronavirus cannot be ruled out. measures)

#### PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS

#### Clinical Performance

Clinical performance of the Healgen Rapid COVID-19 Antigen Test was established with 806 anterior nasal swab (ANS) samples prospectively collected from symptomatic subjects between May 2022 and July 2022 at six clinical point of care sites. Samples (ANS for the investigational device and nasopharyngeal (NP) swab for the comparator) were collected from sequentially enrolled subjects presenting with symptoms of upper respiratory infection within 6 days of onset of symptoms. Results obtained with the Healgen Rapid COVID-19 Antigen Test were compared to a composite comparator method of two FDA cleared, highly sensitive RT-PCR assays. A third FDA cleared RT-PCR comparator assay was performed on comparator samples with discordant results between the first and second RT-PCR tests. The final result for the comparator was determined using a 2 out of 3 rules. Testing was performed by operators who had no prior experience in the laboratory and were representative of the intended users Operators used only the QRI to conduct testing without comprehensive training provided.

Of the 806 subjects, 164 were confirmed positive by the comparator and 642 were confirmed negative. The positive percent agreement (PPA) was 85.4% and the neqative percent agreement (NPA) was 99.7% (see tables below).

#### Analytical Sensitivity: Limit of Detection (LoD)

LoD studies determine the lowest detectable concentration of SARS-CoV-2 at which approximately 95% of all (true positive) replicates test positive. Heat inactivated SARS- CoV-2 virus, isolate 2019-nCoV/USA-WA1/2020, was spiked into negative clinical matrix composed of pooled nasopharyngeal swab specimens in PBS/saline and serially diluted. A preliminary LoD test was performed by spiking 50 µL of each diluted sample onto the sample collection swab head in triplicate. The confirmatory LoD test was performed at the selected preliminary I oD concentration and at concentrations above and below the preliminary LoD with an additional 20 replicates on the Healgen Rapid COVID-19 Antigen Test. The Limit of Detection is 5.75 x 103 TCID50/mL (2.875 x 102 TCID50/swab).

Furthermore, the LoD was established using the 1* WHO International Standard for SARS-CoV-2 Antigen (NIBSC 21/368) in real clinical matrix of pooled swab specimens. Initially, a preliminary LoD was performed in range finding studies, and a confirmatory LoD test was then conducted to confirm the preliminary LoD concentration and additional dilutions bracketing the preliminary concentration. It was determined that the LoD of the 1st WHO International Standard for SARS-CoV-2 Antigen (NIBSC 21/368) for the Healgen Rapid COVID-19 Antigen Test was determined to be 250 IU/mL (12.5 IU/swab).

### F. Intended Use:

- 1. Intended use(s):
The Healgen Rapid COVID-19 Antigen Test is a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay intended for the rapid, qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein antigens directly in anterior nasal swabs from individuals with signs and symptoms of upper respiratory infection within the first six (6) days of symptom onset. The test is intended for use as an aid in the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infections (COVID-19) in symptomatic individuals when tested at least twice over three days with at least 48 hours between tests; or when tested once, and negative by the Healgen Rapid COVID-19 Antigen Test, and followed with a molecular test.

The test does not differentiate between SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2.

A negative test result is presumptive, and it is recommended these results be confirmed by a molecular SARS-CoV-2 assay. Negative results do not preclude SARS-CoV-2 infections and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other patient management decisions.

Positive results do not rule out co-infection with other respiratory pathogens.

Performance characteristics for SARS-CoV-2 were established from May 2022 to July 2022 when SARS-CoV-2 Omicron was the predominant SARS-CoV-2 variant in circulation. When other SARS-CoV-2 virus variants are emerging, performance characteristics may vary.

### 2. Indication(s) for use:

Same as the intended use

### 3. Special condition for use statement(s):

For in vitro diagnostic use only

- 4. Special instrument requirements:
None

### G. Device Description:

The Healgen Rapid COVID-19 Antigen Test is a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay that uses highly sensitive monoclonal antibodies to detect nucleocapsid protein from SARS-CoV-2 virus in nasal swab collected specimens. The test strip is composed of the following components: sample

{10}------------------------------------------------

pad, reagent pad, reaction membrane, and absorbing pad housed within a test cassette. The reagent pad contains colloidal-gold-conjugated monoclonal antibody that recognizes and binds to the nucleocapsid protein of SARS-CoV-2; the reaction membrane in the test line (T) contains the second antibody that recognizes another epitope of the nucleocapsid protein of SARS-CoV-2.

External quality controls are required but not included with the test kit and are sold separately as the COVID-19 Antigen Control Kit. The control swabs should be processed according to the Instructions for Use (IFU) and are intended to be used as quality control samples to demonstrate that the test is performing and is being performed correctly.

### H. Test Principle:

The Rapid COVID-19 Antigen Test uses immunochromatographic-based technology and highly sensitive antibodies in a lateral flow design to detect nucleocapsid protein from SARS-COV-2 in direct nasal (anterior nares) swabs.

To begin the test, nasal swab specimens are collected by a health care professional (HCP). Following sample collection, the nasal swab is transferred to the prefilled extraction tube to lyse the sample and solubilize the viral nucleoproteins. Four (4) drops of the lysed sample are loaded onto the test cassette sample well, and the test result is read by the HCP after 15 minutes. If SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antigen is present in the sample, a complex would form between the colloidal-goldmonoclonal antibody and the viral antigen, which is then captured by the second anti-SARS-2 antibody coated on the test line region (T).

The sample migrates along the test strip across 2 distinct areas: the test line and the procedural control line. If SARS-CoV-2 viral antigens are present, they will be captured by antibodies and bound to the test line of the test strip, and a colored line will be visible in the test window of the cassette at the test line at the "T" site, showing a positive result. If SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein antigen is absent in the sample, a test line would not appear at the "T" site, indicating a negative result. A control line would always appear at the "C" site in a test that functions normally and when the test procedure is followed. If no line is seen at the "C" site after 20 minutes, then the result is invalid and should be repeated with new test materials.
