We perform the test without prior appointment. Please check the opening hours of the collection point.
When registering for Covid tests (PCR and antigen, regardless of whether it is a private, NFZ test, or with results in a foreign language), it is absolutely necessary to complete the patient's data:
– Name and surname,
– PESEL number, and in the case of foreigners PASSPORT number
– COUNTRY Code
– Address of residence/stay,
– Domestic/foreign telephone number

All this data is absolutely required to carry out the study.

Preparation for the examination

General

The test material is a nasal swab.
The patient does not need to fast.
Do not use nasal drops before collecting the material.
If an infection is suspected, it is advisable to move and stay in the facility wearing a protective mask to limit the spread of pathogens in the environment.

Detailed for children

In children, a nasal swab is taken. The swab is inserted deeper than with standard microbiological swabs.

Important

Samples brought from outside are not accepted for testing.
* The Sars-CoV-2 virus mutation does not affect the test's ability to detect infection.

* Receiving a vaccine (any type) does not affect the result of a test performed after vaccination.

Description

The test is intended to confirm infection with the Sars-CoV-2 virus.

The Sars-CoV-2 virus mutation does not affect the test's ability to detect infection.

The test material is a nasal swab.
The test is performed using the BERIGHT test, which qualitatively detects the Sars-CoV-2 antigen.

The sensitivity and specificity of the test compared to the RT-PCR method is:

– sensitivity: 90.4%
– specificity: 99.5%

This test detects an antigen (a protein derived from the interior of the virus cell) that is detectable only when the virus is active and capable of infecting. This occurs in the early stages of infection, sometimes even before symptoms appear.

Interpretation of study results.

A positive test result highly likely indicates an active infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

A negative test result does not rule out infection. Collection may occur when no detectable antigen is present in the body. Therefore, if symptoms or epidemiological factors indicate the possibility of infection, the test should be repeated after 1-2 days with a freshly collected sample. If symptoms persist, a negative antigen test result should be verified with a genetic test using the RT-PCR method.

The test result is issued in two languages: German and Polish.
A medical certificate in German is attached to the result. The document is stamped with a qualified electronic seal, allowing for verification of authenticity. The paper printout is a replica of the electronic document.
If the test result is negative, this certificate will allow you to cross the border* and may contribute to the lifting of mandatory quarantine. It can also be presented to your employer.

* Determining whether the destination country requires a certificate according to a specific template and how long before the planned trip the test should be performed is the responsibility of the person ordering the test.

In accordance with the currently applicable recommendations, the antigen test result (positive and negative) is reported by the Laboratory to the EWP database.
