FDA authorized & actionable
The QuickVue At-Home OTC COVID-19 Test meets all accuracy requirements as defined by the FDA. The performance was measured during a clinical study that compared the QuickVue At-Home OTC COVID-19 Test results to an FDA Emergency Use Authorized high sensitivity PCR (molecular) test. Positive Percent Agreement (PPA) and Negative Percent Agreement (NPA) for both symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals were 83.5% and 99.2%, respectively.

If you have received a positive test result, especially if you are considered high risk (please see FAQ ‘Who is considered high risk for severe disease?'), you should take the following steps:
Consult a healthcare provider as soon as possible. Please tell them that you tested positive for COVID-19. Provide your healthcare provider with:
- Your Test Result
- The Fact Sheet for Healthcare Professionals
- Please consult the CDC recommendations regarding self-isolation
- There is a chance that this test can give a positive result that is wrong (a false positive result), especially if you use the test when there are very few COVID-19 infections in your local community. Your healthcare provider will work with you to determine how best to care for you based on the test results along with your medical history, and your symptoms.
However, it is possible for this test to give a negative result that is incorrect (false negative) in some people with COVID-19 (please see FAQ “Can I have a false negative test result?”). This means that you could possibly still have COVID- 19 even though the test is negative. If your test result is negative, your healthcare provider will consider the test result together with all other aspects of your medical history (such as symptoms, vaccine status, possible exposures, and geographical location of places you have recently traveled) in deciding how to care for you.
The amount of antigen in a sample may decrease as the duration of illness increases. As days post-symptom onset increase, antigen test results may be more likely to be negative compared to a molecular SARS-CoV-2 test. You may also test negative at the very beginning of your infection before you develop symptoms.
If you are unwell, your symptoms are worsening, you develop new symptoms, or you are concerned, it is important that you see your healthcare provider, especially if you belong to a high-risk group (please see FAQ “Who is considered high risk for severe disease?”). Your healthcare provider will consider the test result with all other aspects of your medical history (such as symptoms, vaccine status, possible exposures, local community spread, and places you have recently visited) in deciding how to care for you. It is important that you work with a healthcare provider to help you understand the next steps you should take.
If you do not have symptoms of COVID-19 and get a positive result, your test results should be confirmed with a molecular SARS-COV-2 test. Positive results from the QuickVue At-Home OTC COVID-19 Test are presumptive in asymptomatic patients, and have a higher risk of being false positives, particularly if you do not have a known SARS-CoV-2 exposure and/or live in an area known to have low numbers of SARS-CoV-2 infections.
For low-risk individuals, the CDC recommends that persons who receive a positive antigen test should isolate until they can be confirmed by a molecular test.
If your first test is negative, you should test again in 24-36 hours. If both your first and second tests are negative, you may not have COVID-19, however, you should follow-up with your healthcare provider if you are at high risk for COVID-19 infection. If you test negative and continue to experience COVID-19 like symptoms of fever, cough and/or shortness of breath you should seek follow up care with your healthcare provider. For example, your healthcare provider may suggest you need another test to determine if you have contracted the virus causing COVID-19. It is important that you work with your healthcare provider to help you understand the next steps you should take.
