Table 7. Secondary testing of field samples for SARS-CoV-2.

For our PSCS-CoV2 method, a positive was a sample with N1 < 40 and a N2 < 40. Samples that did not meet that threshold were deemed negative. Retests were performed by an independent Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) approved laboratory using nasopharyngeal swabs for sample collection.

Category Initially tested positive (PSCS-CoV2) Re-tested positive Percent agreement
N1 < 30 12 10 83.3
N1 > 30 8 1 12.5
Category Initially tested negative (PSCS-CoV2) Re-tested negative Percent agreement
N1 > 30 3 3 100
