Once the subject is recruited,two nasopharyngeal swabs using the standard method will be taken from the patient. Additionally, two nasal swab samples will be taken using the Spartan COVID-19 swabs with an adjusted tip. All samples will be analyzed using the Spartan COVID-19 System.~The lab-based predicate test will be taken at the same time, with results reported back to Spartan to be compared with results obtained from the Spartan COVID-19 System.
This study will evaluate the efficacy of various sample collection methods for use with the Spartan COVID-19 System. It will compare the results from the Spartan COVID-19 System with results that are obtained using a predicate lab-based COVID-19 test that uses a nasopharyngeal swab sample. The goal is to determine which sample collection methods are most effective in capturing SARS-CoV-2 virus.
