Comparison of test performance of the Aptima SARS-CoV-2 TMA with the RealStar SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR assay.

	RealStar SARS-CoV-2
Aptima SARS-CoV-2	Positive	Negative	Kappa (κ)a (±95 % CI)b	PPAc	NPAd
Positive	66	0	0.921 (1.000−0.834)	95.7	100
Negative	3	25

^aCohen’s Kappa (κ) defines the overall agreement with values categorized as follows: >0.90, almost perfect; 0.90−0.80, strong; 0.79−0.60, moderate; 0.59−0.40, weak; 0.39−0.21, minimal; 0.20−0, none.

^b±, upper/lower 95 % confidence interval (CI).

^cPositive percent agreement (PPA).

^dNegative percent agreement (NPA).
