We recommended that you use the INDICAID™ COVID-19 Rapid Antigen At-Home Test kit if you are experiencing COVID-19 type symptoms, such as fever, cough, breathing difficulties, fatigue, and/or loss of smell or taste. We also suggest you utilize a COVID-19 test kit if you have been exposed to someone testing positive for COVID-19 (even if you are ‘asymptomatic’).
Testing is also useful before or after travel, or even just to provide you and your family ‘peace of mind’ as you go back to the office, back to school, or attend events with larger groups of people.
Symptoms of COVID-19 may manifest within a window of 1 to 14 days after exposure to the virus. Common symptoms encompass fever, cough, breathing difficulties, fatigue, and a loss of smell and taste. There is a segment of the population that may develop severe symptoms, leading to outcomes such as hospitalization, intensive care treatment, lingering post-sickness conditions, and, in some unfortunate cases, fatalities. It's important to note that individuals with COVID-19 can remain contagious for up to 20 days, and they have the potential to transmit the virus even if they do not exhibit any symptoms themselves.
Individuals at the highest risk include those aged 60 years and older, as well as individuals of any age who have underlying medical conditions such as high blood pressure, heart or lung disease, diabetes, or cancer. Nonetheless, it's essential to recognize that COVID-19 can affect anyone, irrespective of their health status, and can lead to severe illness, even in individuals who are generally considered healthy and low risk.
Since reimbursement policies vary from one insurance company to another, we suggest that you contact your health insurance company to determine their specific policy related to OTC (or At-Home) COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test reimbursement.
Our INDICAID™ COVID-19 Rapid Antigen At-Home Test is now eligible for HSA/FSA reimbursement.
Yes, our INDICAID® COVID-19 Rapid Antigen At-Home Test kit is approved for detection of asymptomatic infections.
If you do not have symptoms and received a negative result, you should test at least two more times with 48 hours in between tests for a total of three tests. If you have a negative result, it does not rule out SARS-CoV-2 infection; you may still be infected and you may still infect others. It is important that you work with your healthcare provider to help you understand the next steps you should take.
Store the tests between 36-86℉ (i.e. 2-30°C) until you are ready to use the test, and then make sure the test components are at room temperature when you are ready to conduct the test.
There are various types of tests available for detecting viruses that cause COVID-19. Molecular tests identify the genetic material of the virus. Antigen tests, such as the INDICAID™ COVID-19 Rapid Antigen At-Home Test, detect proteins from the virus. However, due to the lower sensitivity of antigen tests, they are more likely to produce a false negative result for COVID-19 compared to molecular tests.
Use the nasal swab included in the kit and insert it into each nostril as directed in the instructions. Proper collection is crucial for accurate results.
If the swab is contaminated (e.g., dropped on the floor), discard it and use a new test kit. Do not reuse the swab.
Anyone age 14 or older can self test using INDICAID™ COVID-19 Rapid Antigen test kit on their own, and an adult (age 18 or older) should collect the nasal swab sample from children ages 2 to 13 years old and then perform the test on behalf of the child. Note that this test kit is not approved for use with children under the age of 2.
If you notice that there is insufficient buffer fluid in your test kit, please follow these steps:
Do not proceed with the test: An insufficient amount of buffer fluid may affect the accuracy of the test result.
Check the packaging: Ensure that all components of the test kit were included as per the instructions.
Contact customer support: Reach out to our customer support team immediately. Provide the following information to help us resolve the issue quickly:
The batch/lot number of the test kit (found on the outer box or packaging).A description or photo of the issue, if possible.
Proof of purchase (e.g., receipt or order number).
Do not attempt substitutions: Do not use any other liquid as a replacement for the buffer fluid, as this will invalidate the test results.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and will work with you to resolve the issue by issuing a replacement kit or providing a refund. Your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities.
Do not proceed with the test. Use a new test to test again.
The test should be performed immediately after collecting the sample to ensure accuracy.
Using the incorrect amount of buffer fluid may result in invalid or inaccurate results. Always follow the instructions provided.
Negative: If the control (C) line is visible, but the test (T) line is NOT visible, the test is negative.
Positive: If the control (C) line and the test (T) line are visible, the test is positive. Any faint visible red-colored test (T) line with the control (C) line should be read as positive.
Invalid Result: If the control (C) line is not visible, the test is invalid. Re-test with a new swab and new test device.
Repeat testing does not need to be performed if patients have a positive result at any time. A positive test result means that the virus that causes COVID-19 was detected in the sample, and it is very likely the individual has COVID-19 and is contagious. Please contact the patient’s doctor/primary care physician (if applicable) and the local health authority immediately and instruct your patient to adhere to the local guidelines regarding self-isolation. There is a very small chance that this test can give a positive result that is incorrect (false positive).
Positive results do not rule out bacterial infection or co-infection with other viruses. The agent detected may not be the definite cause of disease. Individuals who test positive with the INDICAID COVID-19 Rapid Antigen At-Home Test should self-isolate and seek follow up care with their physician or healthcare provider as additional confirmatory testing with a molecular test for positive results may also be necessary, if there is a low likelihood of COVID-19, such as in individuals without known exposures to COVID-19 or residing in communities with low prevalence of infection.
A negative test result indicates that the virus that causes COVID-19 was not detected in the sample. A negative result does not rule out COVID-19. There is a higher chance of false negative results with antigen tests compared to laboratory-based tests such as PCR tests. If the test is negative but COVID-19-like symptoms, e.g., fever, cough, and/or shortness of breath continue, follow up testing for SARS-CoV-2 with a molecular test or testing for other respiratory disease should be considered. If applicable, seek follow up care with the primary healthcare provider.
To increase the chance that the negative result for COVID-19 is accurate, you should: Test again in 48 hours if the individual has symptoms on the first day of testing. Test 2 more times at least 48 hours apart if the individual does not have symptoms on the first day of testing.
All negative results should be treated as presumptive and confirmation with a molecular assay, may be necessary if there is high likelihood of SARS-CoV-2 infection, such as in an individual with a close contact with COVID-19 or with suspected exposure to COVID-19 or in communities with high prevalence of infection. Negative results do not rule out SARS-CoV-2 infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or patient management decisions, including infection control decisions.
If no control line shows up on the test, the result is invalid (even if any test line shows up). An invalid result means the test was not able to tell if you have COVID-19 or not. If the test is invalid, a new swab should be used to collect a new nasal specimen and the test should be run again, using all new test components.
Yes, even a faint test line indicates a positive result. Contact your healthcare provider for further guidance.
Results read outside the specified time window, ie after 25 minutes, may be inaccurate. Discard the test and perform a new one.

We recommended that you use the INDICAID™ COVID-19/FLU A&B Home Test if you are experiencing COVID-19 or influenza-like symptoms, such as fever, cough, breathing difficulties, fatigue, and/or loss of smell or taste.
There are various types of tests available for detecting viruses that cause COVID-19 and the flu. Molecular tests identify the genetic material of the virus. Antigen tests, such as the INDICAID™ COVID-19 / FLU A&B Home Test, detect proteins from the virus. However, due to the lower sensitivity of antigen tests, they are more likely to produce a false negative result for COVID-19 and the flu compared to molecular tests.

A positive result indicates that it is highly likely you have COVID-19 or influenza, as proteins from the virus causing COVID-19 were detected in your sample. You should isolate yourself from others and consult a healthcare provider for medical guidance regarding your positive result.
A negative test result means that antigens from the virus causing COVID-19 or influenza were not found in your sample. However, if you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 and receive a negative result on your first test, you should retest in 48 hours, as antigen tests are less sensitive than molecular tests. A negative result does not eliminate the possibility of a SARS-CoV-2 or influenza infection; you could still be infected and capable of spreading the virus. It is essential to consult your healthcare provider for guidance on the appropriate next steps.
An invalid result indicates that the test did not function correctly. If your test result is invalid, you should use a new swab to collect a fresh nasal specimen and perform the test again with a new kit.

The INDICAID™ Early Result Pregnancy Test Strip detects the presence of the pregnancy hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine. This hormone is produced shortly after a fertilized egg attaches to the uterus.
The test is used to detect pregnancy early, even before a missed period, allowing women to confirm pregnancy and seek timely prenatal care.
The test can detect pregnancy as early as 6 days before a missed period, depending on your hCG levels.
Yes, the INDICAID™ Early Result Pregnancy Test Strip is FDA-cleared and CLIA-waived, meaning it meets high regulatory standards for safety, accuracy, and ease of use in home or non-laboratory settings.
Yes, the test is designed for convenient at-home use and provides results in just 5 minutes.
Store the test strips at room temperature (39°F–86°F or 4°C–30°C) in a dry area, away from direct sunlight or high humidity. Keep the strips in their original packaging until use.
You can start testing as early as 6 days before your missed period. Testing first-morning urine is recommended, as it typically contains the highest concentration of hCG.
Ensure you collect a clean urine sample in a dry container. Avoid drinking excessive fluids before testing, as this may dilute hCG levels in your urine.
Most medications and supplements do not affect the test. However, fertility medications containing hCG may cause a false-positive result. Consult your healthcare provider if you are taking fertility treatments.
Yes, but it may be harder to determine when to test. If you’re unsure of your cycle, test 19 days after unprotected intercourse or consult your healthcare provider for guidance.
Use a clean, dry container to collect a midstream urine sample. Dip the test strip into the urine up to the marked line for 5 seconds, ensuring the strip does not get submerged above the maximum line.
After dipping the strip in urine, lay it flat on a clean, dry surface and wait 5 minutes before reading the results. Do not interpret results after 10 minutes, as they may not be accurate.
Discard the contaminated strip and use a new one. Always handle the strip carefully and avoid touching the absorbent or test areas with your fingers.
For the most accurate results, test with fresh urine, ideally the first-morning urine.
Discard the test strip and use a new one, following the instructions carefully. Incorrect handling or timing may lead to invalid results.
- Positive: Two lines appear (test line and control line), no matter how faint, indicate pregnancy. - Negative: Only the control line appears, indicating no pregnancy.- Invalid: No lines or only the test line appears.
A positive result indicates that hCG has been detected in your urine and you are likely pregnant. Consult your healthcare provider to confirm the result.
A negative result means no hCG was detected in your urine, suggesting you are not pregnant. If you still suspect pregnancy, test again in a few days or consult your healthcare provider.
You may have tested too early for hCG to be detected. Wait a few days and test again, preferably with first-morning urine. If you continue to get negative results but have symptoms of pregnancy, consult your healthcare provider.
Yes, use a new test strip to retest. If you continue to get unclear results, consult your healthcare provider.
If the control line does not appear, the test is invalid. Repeat the test with a new strip, ensuring you follow the instructions carefully for sample collection and timing.
Results read outside the specified time window (e.g., after 10 minutes) may not be accurate. Discard the test strip and perform a new test.
Discard the test strip and repeat the test with a new one, following the instructions carefully.
Variability in hCG levels, incorrect sample collection, or testing too early may cause differing results. Test again after a few days with first-morning urine for more accuracy.
False positives may occur due to fertility drugs containing hCG. False negatives may occur if testing too early or if urine is diluted. Consult your healthcare provider for confirmation.
If testing early, test daily starting 6 days before your missed period. If negative, retest a few days later.
No, the INDICAID™ Early Result Pregnancy Test Strip is single-use only.
The test detects hCG but cannot determine the location of the pregnancy. If you suspect an ectopic pregnancy, consult your healthcare provider immediately.
