High sensitivity in patients with a Ct value <34 within 12 days of the onset of symptoms – Rapidly identify potentially contagious spreaders.

The following table shows the performance grouped by Ct value, illustrating that the LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 Ag Ultra test has high sensitivity in patients with a Ct value <34.

Samples with Cts above 33-34 are generally considered to be non-infectious1 indicating that the LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 Ag Ultra test can rapidly identify potentially contagious spreaders.

High sensitivity for detection of SARS-CoV-2 in asymptomatic individuals

In clinical studies, the LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 Ag Ultra test demonstrated 95.7% positive agreement versus RT-PCR in samples collected from individuals without symptoms or other epidemiological reasons to suspect COVID-19.

With the Omicron variant showing a much higher rate of asymptomatic carriage compared to other variants2, the high sensitivity of the LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 Ag Ultra Test can be an important tool in breaking the chain of transmission.
