Application
This point-of-care test must be performed by medically trained personnel but does not require laboratories with specialized personnel. Instead, the RACORDIAX COVID-19 Antibody Rapid
Test provides immediately the status of infection and enables contact tracing instantaneously upon receipt of the result.
The RACORDIAX COVID-19 Antibody Rapid Test uses a blood sample that is simply collected with a lancet and a pipette from the fingertip. This allows the test to be taken at any
location quickly, efficiently and safely. To perform the test, one drop of blood and three drops of running buffer are added to a test cassette.
After 10 minutes the test cassette is scanned with the smartphone RACORDIAX App. The app, which can be adapted to different data protection regulations, compares the scan within
seconds with a database that is secured on a cloud server in Switzerland. Through the support of an artificial intelligence assisted algorithm, a comprehensive diagnosis is then
provided.
The test procedure identifies the three major antibody classes IgM, IgG and IgA, which are produced by the immune system in response to COVID-19. IgM antibodies indicate the initial
phase of the disease, IgG antibodies produced during recovery are relevant for long-term protection, and IgA antibodies provide information on the status of mucous membrane
protection.
These antibodies become detectable only after the appearance of the first COVID-19 symptoms. IgG and IgA remain detectable when the symptoms have already been overcome and mucous
protection is still present.
* Based on several hundred tests, performed by independent medical institutes in Germany, and results checked with a variety of other certified test procedures.
