Intended Use
The CareSuperb™ COVID-19/Flu A&B Antigen Combo Home Test is a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay intended for the qualitative detection and differentiation of influenza A and influenza B nucleoprotein antigens and SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antigen directly in anterior nasal swab samples from individuals with signs and symptoms of respiratory tract infection. Symptoms of respiratory infections due to SARS-CoV-2 and influenza can be similar. This test is for non-prescription home use by individuals aged 14 years or older testing themselves, or adults testing individuals aged 2 years or older. All negative results are presumptive and should be confirmed with an FDA-cleared molecular assay when determined to be appropriate by a healthcare provider. Negative results do not rule out infection with influenza, SARS-CoV-2, or other pathogens. Individuals who test negative and experience continued or worsening respiratory symptoms, such as fever, cough, and/or shortness of breath, should seek follow up care from their healthcare provider. Positive results do not rule out co-infection with other respiratory pathogens and therefore do not substitute for a visit to a healthcare provider for appropriate follow-up.

## 4. Device Description
The CareSuperb™ COVID-19/Flu A&B Antigen Combo Home Test is a lateral flow immunoassay intended for the qualitative detection and differentiation of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antigen, Influenza A nucleoprotein antigen, and Influenza B nucleoprotein antigen from anterior nasal swab specimens.
The CareSuperb™ COVID-19/Flu A&B Antigen Combo Home Test utilizes an adaptor-based lateral flow assay platform integrating a conjugate wick filter to facilitate sample processing. Each test cassette contains a nitrocellulose membrane with immobilized capture antibodies for SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A, Influenza B, and internal control. Following specimen application to the sample port, viral antigens, if present, bind to labeled detection antibodies embedded in the conjugate wick filter. The resulting immune complexes migrate along the test strip and are captured at the respective test lines (C19 for SARS-CoV-2, A for Influenza A, and B for Influenza B), forming visible colored lines. A visible control line (Cont) confirms proper sample migration and test validity. The absence of a control line invalidates the test result.
Each kit includes a single-use test cassette, assay buffer dropper vial, nasal swab, and Quick Reference Instructions (QRI). Test results are visually interpreted 10 minutes after swab removal.

# 6. Test Principle
The CareSuperb™ COVID-19/Flu A&B Antigen Combo Home Test is lateral flow immunochromatographic assays intended for the qualitative detection and differentiation of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antigen, Influenza A nucleoprotein antigen, and Influenza B nucleoprotein antigen from anterior nasal swab specimens. The tests utilize an adaptor-based lateral flow design featuring a cylindrical conjugate wick filter to enhance sample processing and improve analytical sensitivity. The system enables efficient sample and conjugate interaction and promotes continuous migration of analyte-antibody complexes toward the detection zone.
Following sample collection, the swab is inserted into the sample port, and assay buffer is applied to release viral antigens. The extracted sample migrates through the conjugate wick, where labeled antibodies form immune complexes if target antigens are present. These complexes are captured by specific immobilized antibodies on a nitrocellulose membrane, producing visible colored test lines corresponding to SARS-CoV-2 (C19), Influenza A (A), and Influenza B (B). A visible control line (Cont) indicates proper assay performance. Test results are visually interpreted 10 minutes after swab removal.
# 7. Performance Data
To establish the performance characteristics of the CareSuperb™ COVID-19/Flu A&B Antigen Combo Home Test to the predicate device, following studies were conducted:
# 7.1. Analytical Performance
## 1) Precision
A precision study was evaluated in two different studies conducted at single internal site each using three (3) lots of test kits and two (2) operators.
Study 1 was conducted using test samples prepared at three (3) different concentrations of heat inactivated SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.529, live Flu A: H1N1pdm09/A/Indiana/02/2020, and live Flu B: Victoria/New Hampshire /01/2021 spiked into pooled negative swab matrix (PNSM) to prepare the following test sample panel members: a negative sample, low positive sample (1x co-spike LoD of each analyte), and moderate positive samples (3x co-spike LoD of each analyte). Samples were blinded and randomized before allotting them to the operators. 50μL of each sample was applied to dry nasal swabs and processed per the IFU of the candidate device. All panel members were tested in triplicate with 3 device lots, each in 2 runs per day for each of 2 operators, and the study was conducted for 10 days (i.e., 1 site × 3 lots × 2 operators × 2 runs per day with 3 replicates each × 10 days). 360 results were obtained for each panel member. All replicates prepared at 1xLoD and 3xLoD, demonstrated above 95% agreement across the operators, lots, days and runs test.
Study 2 was performed using a negative sample without any of the analytes, and low positive samples prepared at the 0.75x LoD for each analyte to demonstrate potential lot variability. Two operators tested the samples above in a randomized and blinded manner each using three different lots in a total of 2 runs/operators and across 3 non-consecutive days (i.e., 3 replicates × 2 runs/day × 3 days × 2 operators = 36 sample replicates/lot). The precision of the test was assessed by

2) Limit of Detection (LoD)
Single Analyte LoD
The sensitivity of the CareSuperb™ COVID-19/Flu A&B Antigen Combo Home Test was established by evaluating different concentrations of 2 strains of inactivated SARS-CoV-2 and multiple strains of live influenza A and influenza B. The viruses were diluted in pooled negative swab matrix (PNSM) to generate virus dilutions for testing. The lowest detectable concentration that generated $\geq 95\%$ positive detection rate was determined as the LoD through serial dilution and confirmed with repeated testing. The confirmed LoDs for the CareSuperb™ COVID-19/Flu A&B Antigen Combo Home Test are summarized in Table 3.

# Co-spike LoD
Following the establishment of single-analyte LoDs for the CareSuperb™ COVID-19/Flu A&B Antigen Combo Home Test, co-spike LoD equivalency testing was performed to evaluate the performance in the presence of multiple analytes at low concentrations. Co-spiked samples containing all three target analytes—SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A, and Influenza B—each at their respective single-analyte LoD concentrations was tested in twenty (20) replicates. The co-spiked LoD was confirmed if each analyte yielded at least 95% results agreement, demonstrating co-spike equivalency for all analytes to their respective single-analyte LoDs. The confirmed co-spike LoDs are summarized in Table 4.

# 3) Inclusivity (Analytical Reactivity)
The analytical reactivity of the CareSuperb™ COVID-19/Flu A&B Antigen Combo Home Test was evaluated using a panel of temporally, geographically, and genetically diverse strains of SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A, and Influenza B. A series of 10-fold dilution was established for each virus strain by spiking the strain into pooled NSM to initially determine the lowest reactive concentration. Following identification of the lowest 10-fold dilution yielding 100% positive results, additional testing was performed using two-fold serial dilutions. The lowest dilution that produced 5/5 positive results was established as the strain-specific detection endpoint and presented in Table 5.

## 4) Competitive Interference
The competitive interference study was conducted to assess whether the presence of a high concentration of one target analyte interferes with the detection of other target analytes in the CareSuperb™ COVID-19/Flu A&B Antigen Combo Home Test. The study evaluated potential cross-analyte inhibition using contrived samples containing various combinations of SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A, and Influenza B at predefined low and high concentrations. Low concentration samples were prepared at 3× the established Limit of Detection (LoD) for each analyte. High concentration samples were prepared at ≥1.0 × 10<sup>5</sup> TCID<sub>50</sub>/mL or CEID<sub>50</sub>/mL, depending on the virus type. A panel of 19 sample configurations was tested in triplicate. All target analytes at low concentrations were detected with 100% agreement, regardless of the presence of high concentrations of other analytes. No evidence of competitive interference was observed in any tested panel. A summary of the panel configurations and corresponding results is presented in Table 6.

# 5) Hook Effect Study
A high-dose hook effect study was conducted to determine whether excessive concentrations of SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A, or Influenza B antigens interfere with the detection performance of the CareSuperb™ COVID-19/Flu A&B Antigen Combo Home Test. Each analyte was tested individually across a series of 2-fold serial dilutions using inactivated SARS-CoV-2, live Influenza A, and live Influenza B strains spiked into a pooled NSM. All samples were tested in five replicates and the results yielded 100% positive result agreement with no false negative results indicating no hook effect observed at elevated antigen concentrations. A summary of hook effect study results is provided in Table 7.

## 9) Biotin Interference
A biotin interference study was conducted to assess the impact of elevated biotin (vitamin B7) concentrations on test performance. Serial dilutions of biotin (5,000 to 0 ng/mL) were tested in triplicate using both analyte-negative and analyte-positive samples (3X LoD co-spiked SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A, and Influenza B). No false positives were observed at any concentration. However, false negatives were observed for Influenza A at 3,750 ng/mL and 5,000 ng/mL. A summary of biotin interference study is provided in Table 11.

## 10) Realtime Stability
A real-time stability study was conducted to evaluate the shelf-life of the CareSuperb™ COVID-19/Flu A&B Antigen Combo Home Test under labeled storage conditions. Three product lots were stored at 2 °C and 30 °C/80% relative humidity, with monthly testing conducted over 15 months. At each time point, five replicates per lot were tested using contrived positive samples spiked with SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A, and Influenza B at 4X the co-spike LoD and confirmed negative samples (natural clinical anterior nasal swab matrix). Across all tested time points and storage conditions, 100% of the replicates yielded expected results with no false positives or false negatives observed. The test kits demonstrated consistent performance supporting a claimed shelf-life of 13 months. The study is ongoing to confirm extended stability and will continue until nonconforming results are observed.
## 11) Transportation Stability
The transportation stability study evaluated the performance of the CareSuperb™ COVID-19/Flu A&B Antigen Combo Home Test following exposure to simulated extreme shipping conditions. Test kits from three product lots were incubated for ten consecutive days under high-temperature and high-humidity conditions (60°C and 85% relative humidity) to simulate summer transport, and under freezing conditions (-20°C) to simulate winter transport. At each daily interval, test performance was assessed using contrived positive samples containing SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A, and Influenza B antigens at 4X the co-spike LoD and confirmed negative samples prepared using a pooled NSM. Each condition was tested in five replicates per sample type per lot. All results were consistent with expected outcomes and no false positives or false negatives were observed under the tested condition.
