After obtaining written informed consent, a study-specific participant identification number (ID) will be assigned to the participant. Participant demographics and a brief medical history will be collected.~One nasal swab sample will be collected from both nostrils by operators and will be used to perform the Panbio™ COVID-19/ Flu A&B Rapid Panel test either in a laboratory or in a non-laboratory setting (e.g. GP (general practitioner) centre or hospital clinic). Each Panbio™ COVID-19/ Flu A&B Rapid Panel result will be photographed by the observer at the time of test interpretation.~Nasopharyngeal samples will be collected and used for RT-PCR (Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction) testing as per local procedures.~Nasal samples must always be collected prior to the Nasopharyngeal sampling. A minimum of 90 Flu A positive subjects, a minimum of 90 Flu B positive subjects and a minimum of 100 SARS-CoV-2 positive subjects will be enrolled. In addition, a minimum of 385 negative subjects will be enrolled.~In total, a minimum of 665 male and female subjects will be prospectively enrolled at multiple clinical sites.~Collection procedure will be a mid-turbinate nasal swab (deep nasal swab), by turning the swab five times in each nostril. Nasal samples must be collected prior to the Nasopharyngeal sampling.~The collected swab will be tested with the Panbio™ COVID-19/ Flu A&B Rapid Panel at the study site. Tubes and swabs should be labelled with the patient ID.~After the nasal sampling, study staff personnel will also collect one nasopharyngeal swab. The nasopharyngeal swab will be eluted in Universal Transport Media (UTM) and used for testing with RT-PCR protocols for Flu A, Flu B and SARS-CoV-2 as per local procedures.~The RT-PCR methods used must have CE marking or FDA approval, with COVID-19 and Flu assay clearance for nasopharyngeal specimens. Nasopharyngeal sampling should be performed by trained healthcare professionals who routinely conduct nasopharyngeal sampling as part of their other standard of care and clinical duties.~Each operator who performs a Panbio™ COVID-19/ Flu A&B Rapid Panel test will fill out a user evaluation questionnaire once, to assess the usability of the device.~All other aspects of the Subject's care will remain the same with no deviation from prescribed practice.
This study is designed as a prospective, multicentric, clinical study to investigate the performance of the Panbio™ COVID-19/ Flu A&B Rapid Panel for the qualitative detection of COVID-19 antigen, Influenza A antigen (H1N1 and H3N2), and Influenza B antigen in human nasal swabs.~This study is part of the performance evaluation to support the CE conformity assessment procedures.
