The accuracy of the Healgen Covid-19/Flu A&B Ag Combo Rapid Test Cassette (Swab) depends on the specific infection detected. For COVID-19, the rapid antigen component typically shows a sensitivity of 85-95% and specificity of 97-99%. This means it is generally reliable, especially when symptoms are present, but false negatives and positives are possible. The test also screens for influenza A and B antigens, with similar accuracy ranges. For confirmation of any result, particularly if symptoms persist or there is clinical doubt, a PCR test is recommended.
