The SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) RT-PCR test results for Isaiah Mendoza, a 5-year-old male, were negative. The test used was the iAMP COVID-19 Detection assay which utilizes Powergene PCR to detect SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid in nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal samples. Negative results do not rule out infection and should not be the sole basis for patient management decisions. Factors like improper specimen collection and storage or use of certain drugs could impact test accuracy.

iAMP COVID-19 Detection assay from Atilla Biosystems using Powergene
PCR is utilized in detection of nucleic acid from the SARS-Cov-2 in nasopharyngeal swab or oropharyngeal dry swab specimens collected from individuals suspected of COVID-19 by their healthcare provider. This test is a qualitative invitro diagnostic test that has been authorized by FDA under an EUA for use by authorized laboratories. -Negative results do not preclude infection with SARS-COV-2 virus and should not be the sole basis of a patient management decision. -Improper collection, transport, or storage of specimens may impact the ability of the assay to perform as indicated. -The impacts of vaccines, antiviral theraputics, antibiotics, chemotheraputic, or immunosuppressant drugs have not been evaluated. - The iAMP COVID-19 Detection cannot rule out respiratory diseases caused by other bacterial or viral pathogens.
