Device Information

Nano-Check COVID-19 Antigen Test

Device Specifications

The Nano-Check COVID-19 Antigen Test uses lateral flow immunochromatography to detect SARS-CoV-2 nucleoproteins in nasal swab samples. It comes with cassettes, reagent tubes, swabs, and control swabs. After collecting a sample, users add two drops to the cassette, showing positive or negative results within 15 minutes. It is easy to use and ideal for point-of-care testing.

Indications

The Nano-Check COVID-19 Antigen Test aids in diagnosing symptomatic COVID-19. It should be used within four days of symptom onset. A molecular follow-up test is required for a confirmed negative result.

Intended Use

This test is intended for symptomatic patients as a rapid diagnostic tool. It is recommended for prescription use only. Health professionals or trained individuals can administer it.

Availability

  • Prescription Use Only (Rx)

Limitations

  • Specific Limitations:
    • A negative result is presumptive and requires molecular confirmation.
    • Positive results do not exclude other infections.
    • Performance may vary with emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants.

Study Results

The Nano-Check™ COVID-19 Antigen Test was evaluated in a U.S. clinical study across four sites, involving 670 symptomatic subjects. The test achieved a Positive Percent Agreement (PPA) of 83.67% and a Negative Percent Agreement (NPA) of 99.62% compared to RT-PCR results.

Nonclinical and Safety Testing:

  • High precision with 100% agreement for positive and negative samples.
  • No cross-reactivity with common respiratory pathogens.
  • Stability testing confirmed the reliability for all test components.

Regulatory Information

  • Regulation Number: 21 CFR 866.3982
  • Regulatory Class: Class II
  • Product Code: QVF
  • Applicable Regulations: The device must follow labeling, registration, and reporting guidelines under 21 CFR 801, 820, and 807.

Manufacturer Information

  • Name: Nano-Ditech Corporation
  • Address: 259 Prospect Plains Rd, Bldg K, Cranbury, NJ 08512, USA
  • Contact Person: James Chang

Predicate Device Information

  • Primary Predicate Device: Sofia 2 SARS Antigen+ FIA (DEN220039)
  • Comparison: Both tests detect SARS-CoV-2 nucleoproteins using lateral flow immunoassays. The Nano-Check test requires visual interpretation, whereas Sofia 2 provides automated readings via an instrument.

Implications

This device enhances point-of-care COVID-19 testing by providing quick results. It can complement molecular tests for better patient management. Its usability in symptomatic settings aligns with the need for rapid diagnosis during pandemics.
