4.0 Introduction
‘The Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly identified
coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The virus is
spread by human-to-human transmissions via droplets or direct contact. The availabilty of a
cost-effective, rapid point-of-care diagnostic test is oritical to enable healthcare professionals
to aid in the diagnosis of patients and prevent further spread of the virus. Antigen tests will
play a critical role in the fight against SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19).
‘The Beright COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test Device (Oral Fluid) is designed for home
users who have symptoms and able to do seff-collection of oral fluid samples. However, this
kitis @ preliminary result which requires clinically final confirmation from laboratory diagnostics.
The kit is a qualitative membrane-based immunoassay, for SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19)
presence in human oral fluid which contains anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. Two coloured band
will show up at the T'region and the C region which became the control of the test. The results
were interpretated based on the kit insert.
2.0 Material and Method
24, Test Samples:
‘The evaluation of this Beright COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test Device (Oral Fluid) was'carried
out on. COVID-19 patients sample as positive control and healthy individuals! Sample as
negative control. A total of 58 saliva samples from known positive with COVID-19 patients and
50 healthy individual samples were collected. All collected saliva samples were tested with
Beright COVID-19) Antigen, Rapid Test (Oral Fluid) and later confirmed with Real Time
Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR). Other underlying diseases or other infectious
diseases were not included in this study due to limited resources and time.
2.2 Testkit:
‘The Beright COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test Device (Oral Fluid) is used for qualitative detection
of novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) antigens in human oral fluid samples. Test devices were
packed individually which contained collection device such as funnel, tubes and tube tips,
buffer and package insert. Test kit with lot number: ATCOV21060076, expiry date: June 2022
was stored at room temperature,
2.3. Test Method:
The test was performed in accordance to the manufacturer's instruction as written in the test
kit insert. Test interpretations as follows:
i. Negative result: A red line, only a red reaction coloured line appears at the quality
control area denoted as C.
il. Positive result: Two red lines, red coloured lines appear at both test area (T) and
quality control area (C). The shade of colour that appears may vary and considered
as positive even a faint colour.
iii, Invalid result: If a red coloured band does not appear in the control line (C) the
result is considered invalid regardless the red line appears at T area. The test

procedures may not be followed correctly, or the test cassette is deteriorated.
Repeat testing is recommended. Ifthe problem persists, discontinue using the kit
and contact local distributor.
2.4 — Test Sensitivity and Specificity
The Beright COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test Device (Oral Fluid) results showed that the kit has
detected 54/58 SARS-CoV-2 positive sample with sensitivity of 93.10% and 50/50 were tested
negative on SARS-CoV-2 negative samples. This gives a specificity of 100.00% for Beright
COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test Device (Oral Fluid). Results are as shown in Table 1 above.

25 Test PPV and NPV
The results obtained from this evaluation. also indicated that the Positive Predictive’ Value
(PPV) for COVID-19 virus infection was 100,00% (54/54) and the Negative Predictive Value
(NPV) was found to be 92.59% (50/54).
3.0 Conclusion
The Beright COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test Device (Oral Fluid) is an in vitro. qualitative
detection of novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) antigens in human oral fluid’ specimens from
individuals-who meet COVID-19 clinical and / epidemiological criteria. The sensitivity for
detection of SARS-CoV-2 viral antigen is 93.10% and the specificity is 100,00%.

Test Kit Evaluation Technical Report /No, A/032/24
Sensitivity: The ability of the assay under evaluation to correctly detect samples
that contain SARS-CoV-2 viral antigen (Reference assay positive)
Specificity: The ability of the assay under evaluation to correctly detect samples
that do not contain SARS-CoV-2 viral antigen (reference assay negative)
PPV: The probability that the sample does contain SARS-CoV-2 viral antigen when
the test is positive,
NPV: The probability that the sample does not contain SARS-CoV-2 viral antigen
when the test is negative.
