EXTON, PA., GAINESVILLE, FLA., April 29, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Megna Health announced today that its Rapid COVID-19 IgM/IgG Antibody Combo Test, previously authorized for use under the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Emergency Use Authorization, is now available for Point of Care Settings. The test can now be administered in CLIA-waived settings using fingerstick whole blood to detect COVID-19 antibodies.
The results of IgM and IgG are produced in minutes using fingerstick whole blood and no additional equipment needed. CLIA-waived facilities may include doctors’ offices, pharmacies, urgent care centers, nursing home facilities, etc.
The product is intended for use as an aid in identifying individuals with an adaptive immune response to SARS-CoV-2, indicating recent or prior infection. At this time it is unknown for how long antibodies persist following infection and if the presence of antibodies confers protective immunity.
