Safer live events
with pre-event testing

"It’s time to change how we think about the sensitivity of testing for COVID-19."1

Accurate and rapid pre-event testing to safely reopen cultural, sports and leisure events

 

Pre-event testing is necessary to reduce risks of positive Covid-19 cases at events so that more activities can resume safely.

Pre-event testing for COVID-19 helps to reduce the risk of potentially infectious individuals transmitting the virus at an event, reducing the likelihood of an outbreak situation.

Uncompromised rapid testing with the LumiraDx Platform delivers fast, accurate antigen testing to give organizers the assurance they need that.

a) They can identify potentially contagious spreaders pre-event
b) Attendees can easily and quickly be tested in advance of the event

LumiraDx provides a range of testing solutions:

  • Rapid and connected test results in minutes
  • Portable and flexible solutions for on or off-site testing setup
  • Affordable and scalable testing

The benefits of uncompromised on-site testing with LumiraDx

  • Less-sensitive lateral flow antigen tests2-4 increase the risk of an infectious employee getting a negative result.
    False negatives leave the door open for contagious persons to slip through (i.e., goes to work rather than flagged for isolation)
  • ‘Swab and send’ delays time needed to get to actionable results
  • PCR can still be positive long after period of infectivity3

#Negative results do not rule out SARS-CoV-2 infection and should be considered in the context of an individual’s recent exposures, history and presence of clinical signs and symptoms consistent with COVID-19. Results should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or case management decisions, including infection control decisions
**Positive results indicate the presence of viral antigens, but clinical correlation with patient history and other diagnostic information is necessary to determine infection status

Antigen Test
Ag Pool Test

SARS-CoV-2 Ag Test

  • LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 Ag test demonstrates high sensitivity at Ct<336 and can detect 10-30% cases potentially missed by antigen lateral flow tests7-11
  • PCR can still be positive long after period of infectivity, leading to misidentification of infective individuals5. SARS-CoV-2 Antigen correlates with culture better than PCR for aiding in the identification of infective individuals12
  • LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 Ag Test provides high detection of potentially infective individuals

SARS-CoV-2 Pool Test

  • Test up to 5 people using 1 test
  • Maximise resources and scale up testing: Pooled testing can improve access to testing by significantly reducing resources (tests, operators, instruments) required on a per patient basis
  • Save time and cost: Pooled testing can result in savings in both time and cost

LumiraDx Connect

  • LumiraDx Connect is an intelligent, integrated connectivity platform that uses the latest cloud-controlled technology for use with LumiraDx Instrument.
  • LumiraDx Connect ensures easy, secure transfer of results from LumiraDx Instrument to Connect Manager.
  • Can be used with mobile phones, tablets or PCs
