Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this rapid antigen test kit, and what do sensitivity and specificity mean?
This Boson Rapid Antigen Test is fully approved by Health Canada (Authorization ID 323096) and demonstrates a sensitivity of 93.75% and a specificity of 98.04%. Sensitivity refers to the test’s ability to correctly identify individuals who have the virus, meaning it will detect approximately 94 out of every 100 actual COVID-19 cases. Specificity indicates how well the test identifies those without the virus, correctly returning a negative result for about 98 out of 100 uninfected individuals.
While highly accurate, it is important to note that no test is infallible. False negatives can occur, particularly in early or asymptomatic infections. For this reason, positive results should be treated as reliable, but negative results in individuals with symptoms or known exposure may require confirmation with a PCR test. The kit is designed for professional use to further ensure result reliability.
How do I use the rapid antigen test kit, and how quickly will I get results?
Each kit includes clear instructions, pre-packaged test cards, sterile swabs, extraction tubes, and buffers. A trained healthcare professional should collect a nasopharyngeal swab sample, mix it with the provided buffer solution, and apply the mixture to the test card. The process is straightforward and designed for ease of use in professional settings.
Results are delivered rapidly, typically within 15 to 20 minutes. This allows for swift decision-making in workplaces, care facilities, or event venues, helping to quickly identify potential cases and reduce transmission risk. Proper storage (between 2°C and 30°C) and adherence to the instructions are crucial to maintaining the test’s effectiveness and accuracy.
Where and how should these test kits be used?
This rapid antigen test kit is an ideal safety tool for organized screening in professional environments. It is suited for workplaces, personal care services, medical offices, hospitality venues, transportation hubs, and long-term care facilities. When used alongside recommended PPE, such as KN95/N95 respirators, it forms a key part of a comprehensive safety strategy to protect employees, clients, and residents.
The test is intended for use by trained personnel, which optimizes sampling technique and result interpretation. It is not designed for unsupervised at-home use. By implementing a consistent testing program, organizations can help create a safer environment, minimize operational disruptions, and provide greater peace of mind for all stakeholders.
