*The letter of authorization refers to, “Laboratories certified under the
Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA), 42
U.S.C. §263a, that meet requirements to perform moderate or high
complexity tests. The Clarity COVIBLOCK
TM
COVID-19 IgG/IgM Rapid
Test Cassette is also authorized for use with fingerstick whole blood
specimens only at the Point of Care (POC), i.e., in patient care settings
operating under a CLIA Certificate of Waiver, Certificate of
Compliance, or Certificate of Accreditation”.
PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
The Clarity COVIBLOCK
TM
COVID-19 IgG/IgM Rapid Test Cassette
was compared against PCR confirmed results in 3 studies.
Study 1: In the first retrospective study, 70 positive and 10 negative
plasma samples (EDTA) collected from China were tested. All
nasopharyngeal samples were confirmed using the Novel Coronavirus
2019-nCoV Nucleic Acid Diagnostic Kit (PCR-Fluorescence Probing)
(US FDA EUA authorized). Plasma samples were collected using
EDTA anticoagulant and stored at -20°C until tested.

Study 2: In the second retrospective study, 113 positive plasma
samples (EDTA) and 50 negative serum samples collected from China
were tested. All nasopharyngeal samples were confirmed using
COVID-19 (ORF 1ab/N) Nucleic Acid Detection Kit (Double fluorescent
PCR) (Limit of Detection: 1000 copies/mL). All samples were collected
and stored at -20°C until tested.

Study 3: In the third prospective study, 75 negative fingerstick whole
blood samples and 30 positive fingerstick whole blood samples
collected from the US were tested. All nasopharyngeal samples were
confirmed using the NxTAG CoV Extended Panel Assay (US FDA
EUA Authorized). All samples were collected and tested immediately
by non-laboratory healthcare professionals.

SEROCONVERSION
A retrospective clinical study was performed, with a total of 81 serum
samples collected from 30 patients who were confirmed for SAR-CoV-
2 infection using PCR. Days between symptom onset and blood
collection date were categorized in 3 groups: 0-7 days, 8-14 days and
greater than 15 days.
