Assay performance reflects manufacturer-generated validation data as of July 11, 2020. Refer to IFU for Manufacturer updates. EuroImmun and BioRad assays are Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays (ELISAs), and the others are Chemiluminescent Immunoassays (CLIAs).

a

Unless stated otherwise, ≥14 days post onset of symptoms or positive RT- PCR is presented. Assays demonstrate reduced clinical sensitivity prior to approximately 13 days.

b

>14 days post onset of symptoms or positive SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR.

c

>8 days post onset of symptoms or positive SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR.

d

>10 days post onset of symptoms or positive SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR.

e

≥6 days post onset of symptoms or positive SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR.
