Table 2.

Details of discordant results between Cue COVID-19, Hologic Aptima, and/or laboratory-developed RT-PCR assays.

Patient # Cue result Reference result (method) RLU or Cp value Other testing performed (days ± study enrollment) Reference Consensus result
1 Negative Positive (Hologic) RLU 1139 None Positive
2 Negative Positive (Hologic) RLU 1097 Negative LDT RT-PCR (1 day before enrollment) Negative
3 Negative Positive (LDT RT-PCR) Cp 35.00 Positive Hologic (8 days before enrollment) Positive
4 Positive Negative (Hologic) RLU 288 None Negative
5 Positive Negative (Hologic) RLU 279 None Negative
6 Positive Negative (Hologic) RLU 283 None Negative
7 Positive Negative (Hologic) RLU 287 Negative Hologic (4 days after enrollment) Negative

RLU = relative light unit, Hologic Aptima test results are based upon total RLU and the kinetic curve type; Cp = crossing point, a positive LDT RT-PCR has a Cp ≤ 40 and a valid amplification curve; LDT = laboratory-developed test; RT-PCR = reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction
