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 test result is issued in two language versions, Ukrainian and Polish.

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

Description

The antigen test is dedicated to patients with symptoms of respiratory infection and other symptoms associated with infection caused by the Sars-CoV-2 virus, as well as to asymptomatic patients who have had contact with a confirmed case.

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

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

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

Test results are issued in Ukrainian and Polish. In accordance with current recommendations, the laboratory reports the antigen test result (positive and negative) to the EWP database.
