SARS-CoV2 (COVID-19) Real Time RT PCR Test
Type of Sample : Nasopharyngeal Oropharyngeal
Method : RT PCR
ORF1a/ORF1b/N/N2 Gene : Not Detected
Test Description Result
SARS CoV2 RNA, PCR* Negative
Test Interpretation:
• A 'Detected' result indicates SARS-CoV-2 RNA is detected from the patient's specimen by this assay.
• A 'Not Detected' result indicates SARS-CoV-2 RNA is not detected from the patient's specimen by this assay.
• A 'Inconclusive' result indicates low viral load in the sample. A retesting on a fresh is recommended for confirmation.
Test Utilization
• For diagnosis of COVID 19 infection.
Test Methodology:
• Method used: Real Time PCR
Note:
• ICMR Registration number for COVID 19 is LCDIPLDD.
• Negative results do not preclude SARS-CoV-2 infection and should not be used as the sole basis for patient management decisions.
• Presence of inhibition, mutation and insufficient RNA specific to SARS COV-2 can influence the test result.
• Improper specimen collection, handling, storage and transportation may results in false negative results.
• The report represents only the specimen received in laboratory. Kindly correlate clinically.
• The COVID-19 RT-PCR test is a real time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR) test for the qualitative detection of
nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2 in upper and lower respiratory specimens. The kit used is validated for emergency use for respiratory
samples by CDC.
• ICMR has recommended not to rely on numerical Ct values for determining infectiousness of COVID-19 patients and deciding patient m
anagement protocols citing the following explanations.
• This test is not a part of NABL scope.
