Roche announced a new name and brand for the COVID-19 At-Home Test – Pilot COVID-19 At-Home Test, which debuts this week nationwide.
The Pilot COVID-19 At-Home Test, an over-the-counter test distributed in the U.S. by Roche Diagnostics, received emergency use authorization (EUA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on December 24, 2021, and is manufactured by SD Biosensor Inc. It uses a simple anterior nasal swab sample that can be self-collected and self-tested by individuals ages 14 years and older, and by an adult for children ages 2 to 13 years old. The Pilot COVID-19 At-Home Test is able to produce quick results in as few as 20 minutes for SARS-CoV-2.
With a relative sensitivity of 93.2% and a relative specificity of 100%, the Pilot COVID-19 At-Home Test can help you determine your next step, such as self-isolation for COVID-19, seeking further testing, and pursuing advice from a healthcare professional about treatment options, or ending isolation with two confirmed negative results.
The Pilot COVID-19 At-Home Test is available at CVS Pharmacy and cvs.com, Amazon and in the Optum Store.
