This device is a qualitative serology test based on immunochromatography. The appearance of a coloured band indicates the presence of the antibody within 10 minutes. The test can be used for vaccination control. This test controls two types of antibodies in parallel: IgM and IgG. The IgM antibody level starts to be truly detectable about a week after the initial infection, while IgG usually appears within 14 days of infection and can last for several months or even years. The device is now approved by the Ministry of Health. Using two drops of blood, the test can detect COVID-19 in less than 10 minutes. The test is based on the detection of antibodies specific to the disease. The test has the advantage of giving a result during and after contamination. The specificity of the test (IgM and IgG) is 100% (study carried out by different hospitals). The sensitivity of the test is 92.8% for IgM antibodies and 96.5% for IgG antibodies for false negatives (1300 tests). The performance values of our device are in line with the recommendations of the Haute Autorit de Sant (HAS) The test have been approved and controlled by French government (ANR: Pasteur)
