In a continuing effort to provide the facts about ID NOW to support public health interests, Abbott is sharing new interim clinical data results on its ID NOW COVID-19 rapid test.
Abbott announced an interim analysis of an ongoing multi-site clinical study in urgent care clinics that indicates its ID NOW COVID-19 rapid test is showing strong agreement to lab-based molecular polymerase chain reaction (PCR) instruments.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is alerting the public to early data that suggest potential inaccurate results from using the Abbott ID NOW point-of-care test to diagnose COVID-19. Specifically, the test may return false negative results.
