Intended Use

The WELLlife COVID-19 Antigen Test Rx is a visually read lateral flow immunoassay test intended for the qualitative detection of SARS-CoV-2 virus nucleocapsid protein antigen directly in anterior nasal swab specimens from individuals with signs and symptoms of upper respiratory infection. The test is intended for use as an aid in the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infections (COVID-19) in symptomatic individuals when either: tested at least twice over three days with at least 48 hours between tests; or when tested once, and negative by the WELLlife COVID-19 Antigen Test Rx and followed with a molecular test.

A negative test result is presumptive, and does not preclude SARS-CoV-2 infection; it is recommended these results be confirmed by a molecular SARS-CoV-2 assay.

Positive results do not rule out co-infection with other respiratory pathogens and should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis, treatment, or other patient management decisions.

Performance characteristics for SARS-CoV-2 were established from April 2023 to February 2024 when SARS-CoV-2 Omicron was dominant. When other SARS-CoV-2 virus variants are emerging, performance characteristics may vary.

4 Operation Principle

The WELLlife COVID-19 Antigen Test Rx is a sandwich immunochromatographic assay that uses antibodies to detect SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antigen extracted from nasal swab specimen.

A nasal swab sample is collected and then inserted into the extraction buffer during which the extraction buffer disrupts the virus particles in the specimen to expose internal viral nucleocapsid antigens. The extracted specimen is added into the sample well of the test cassette. When an adequate volume of the specimen is added the sample well (S) of the test cassette, the specimen migrated by capillary action from the sample well over the conjugated pad and across the nitrocellulose membrane test strip. During the migration the reagents in the conjugated pad are solubilized. If SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antigens are present in the sample, the antigens bind to the specific anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody conjugated with dye particles on the conjugated pad and the antigen-antibody complexes captured by the anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody immobilized at the test line region (T) to form sandwich complexes to generate a visible colored test line. Unbound conjugates continue to migrate across the nitrocellulose membrane and are captured at the control line region (C) to result in a visible colored control line that indicates adequate operations and sample flow during the test. If no SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antigens are present in the sample, the conjugate will only be captured at the control line of the test.

Results are interpreted between 10 and 20 minutes after adding the extracted sample into the sample well. A false negative or false positive result may occur if the test result before 10 minutes or after 20 minutes.

External positive control and negative control swabs are provided with each kit of WELLlife COVID-19 Antigen Test Rx and should be processed according to the IFU upon receiving a new lot of test

kits. The control swabs are intended to be used as quality control samples representative of positive and negative test samples to demonstrate that the reagents are functional, and the assay procedure is performed correctly.

5 Non-clinical Performance

5.1 Precision

a. Lot-to-Lot Precision

A precision study was conducted to assess variability with respect to days, operators, and device lots. The study included three device lots, each tested every day by three operators for 20 days; testing was conducted in duplicates for each sample concentration (i.e., 3 operators x 20 days x 3 lots x 2 runs per day x 2 replicates per sample per run = 720 results per sample panel member). Three levels of heat inactivated SARS-CoV-2 Omicron Variant lineage BA.5 (Isolate USA/COR-22-063113/2022) were spiked into negative clinical nasal swab matrix (NCM) as follows:

  • Negative Sample
  • Below LoD Sample at 0.9xLoD
  • Low Positive Sample at 1.5xLoD
  • Positive Sample at 3xLoD

50μL of each sample was applied to dry nasal swabs. After blinding and randomizing, samples were processed per the IFU of the candidate device.

Precision was observed to be 100% for all replicates prepared at 1.5xLoD and 3xLoD, demonstrating no variability in the performance of the candidate assay across the conditions, operators, lots, and days tested.

Precision study samples were therefore prepared at 0.9xLoD using the same materials for sample preparation as for the original study. These samples were then tested as follows: 2 operators x 3 lots x 3 days x 2 runs per day x 2 replicates per sample per run and resulted in a total of 72 replicates. The precision for the 0.9xLoD sample was less than 100%, which is expected based on the random error for a sample below the LoD. However, the performance was consistent across all three lots tested.

b. Site-to-site Reproducibility

A multisite precision study was performed at three external CLIA-waived testing sites to evaluate reproducibility of the WELLlife COVID-19 Antigen Test Rx. Testing consisted of three replicates each of positive (3x LoD), weak positive (1x LoD), low positive (0.8x LoD), high negative (0.1x LoD) and negative samples tested by three (3) untrained operators per site over 5 days, i.e., 3 replicates × 3 operators × 3 sites × 5 days = 135 replicates per concentration for a total of 675 total data points collected. Fifty (50) μL of the prepared sample were applied to kit swabs, shipped and stored frozen until testing.

5.2 Detection Limit

a. Limit of Detection

The limit of detection of the WELLlife COVID-19 Antigen Test Rx was determined with UV-inactivated SARS-CoV-2 USA-WA1/2020, BA.5 Omicron and heat inactivated XBB Omicron isolates. Inactivated SAR-CoV-2 virus was diluted into NCM in 10-fold dilutions. Fifty (50) μl of each dilution was added directly to the test swab and the sample was then processed per the instructions for use. The LoD was assessed with three independent device lots. For the preliminary LoD study, testing was performed with three replicates and the lowest concentration with >95% detection was then tested with 20 replicates to confirm the LoD.

b. Limit of Detection with the 1st WHO International Standard (NIBSC 21/368)

SARS-CoV-2 antigen (NIBSC code: 21/368) spiked into pooled nasal swab sample in saline. The unitage of this material has an assigned value of 5,000 International Units (IU) of SARS-CoV-2 antigen per ampoule when reconstituted per instructions. A 10-fold dilution series was made to determine the preliminary LoD, which was measured using three (3) device lots and in triplicate measurements (n=3). The LoD was confirmed using 20 replicates (n=20) per dilution. The measurements were done by adding 50μl of each dilution directly to the test swab and processing the

5.3 Inclusivity

An evaluation of the sensitivity of the test for the detection of relevant SARS-CoV-2 variants was done in form of an LoD study with seven (7) different SARS-CoV-2 variant strains. Three lots of the WELLlife COVID-19 Antigen Test Rx were used. Samples for inclusivity testing were prepared with the same methodology as detailed above for the Limit of Detection study. Viral samples were tested per the IFU in triplicate to first establish the preliminary LoD and then subsequently in replicates of 20 for the confirmatory LoD. The lowest concentration that detected ≥95% of all replicates for each evaluated SARS-CoV-2 strain is shown below.

Beyond the testing described above, Omicron JN.1.1 was independently evaluated with the test showing detection down to 2.28 x10⁴ GE/mL (corresponding to an average Ct of 27.9).

swab and then processing the sample swabs per the IFU. The microbial interference testing was conducted in the same manner but in the presence of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron Variant lineage BA.5 co-spiked into the samples at 2-3xLoD. The testing was performed in triplicates for each microorganism. Neither cross-reactivity nor microbial interference was observed for any of the tested microorganisms at the concentration used in the study.

5.5 High Dose Hook Effect

An assessment of whether a high dose hook effect exists for the test was done using a serial dilution of UV-inactivated SARS-CoV-2 virus strains. Multiple virus strains were tested, each spiked into negative NCM. 50μl of sample was added directly to the head of the swabs. Swabs were processed per the test's IFU/QRI. Testing was done across three device lots. Each of the 3 operators performed triplicate measurements for each concentration per lot. No high dose hook effect was observed in the study for any of the strains. Only the data for the most relevant contemporary strain tested in this study (i.e., SARS-CoV-2 Omicron Lineage BA.5) are shown in Table 9 below.

5.6 Usability and User Comprehension Studies

a. Usability Study

The usability of the test was assessed with a sub cohort of the clinical study. During this study, representative test kit users (self-testers aged 14+, caregiver-child pairs, and caregiver-adult pairs) were observed performing the WELLlife COVID-19 Antigen Test Rx while using the IFU/QRI. The observers recorded the proper execution of each task when the enrolled lay user study subject (n=30) conducted the test. The observers did not otherwise interfere with the study subject's sample collection and testing.

b. Readability Study

A readability and comprehension study with lay persons was conducted to evaluate the ability of the intended lay user to correctly read and interpret their test results. Fifty (50) participants were enrolled in the readability and comprehension study. Each study subject was provided with eight randomized mock tests (2 panels with 4 mock devices each) of different concentrations, which they were asked to interpret per the IFU. After interpreting the mock tests, the study subjects were provided with a questionnaire to assess their comprehension of the test results. Each lay user was asked to interpret two panels of 5 test devices with three different concentrations that were arranged in a randomized and blinded manner, with the following sample results:

  • Panel 1: Negative, 1.5xLoD, 1.5xLoD, 5xLoD, Invalid
  • Panel 2: Negative, Negative, 1.5xLoD, 5xLoD, Invalid

Invalid100100100%

6 Flex Studies

To assess the robustness and risk for false results of the test when deviating from the IFU/QRI test steps, flex studies were conducted that assessed all major aspects of the test procedure (sample volume, reading time, swab extraction time, swab rotation, and tube squeezing) and variability of environmental test conditions that the test may be subjected to when in use (lighting, disturbance during use, temperature, and humidity stress conditions). Testing was performed with contrived positive nasal swabs generated by diluting SARS-CoV-2 virus into negative NCM at 2xLoD. False results are observed with too little sample volume and insufficient incubation time, specifically with less than two

drops of sample and with less than five minutes incubation. However, these failures are mitigated in the labeling with warning statements in the procedural steps. The studies support that the test is robust in the intended use condition with an insignificant risk of erroneous result.

7 Clinical studies

A prospective lay person clinical study was conducted to assess the performance of the candidate test in a simulated at-home setting when compared to a highly sensitive 510(k)-cleared SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR assay with an extraction step. The study enrolled symptomatic subjects at nine (9) clinical study sites between April 2023, and February 2024, when Omicron was the most prevalent SARS-CoV-2 strain in the U.S.

Both the comparator and the candidate test used anterior nasal swab samples, and the sample collection order was alternated (randomized) for each study subject. Comparator test samples were collected by health care professionals at the clinical study site and inserted into Universal Transport Media per the IFU of the comparator test. Samples for the candidate antigen test were collected per the test's QRI and were either self-collected by a lay user aged ≥14 years or collected by an adult (parent/guardian) from individuals aged 2 to <14 years.

This study enrolled a total of 1,053 individuals. Of the 1,053 results obtained, 21 were excluded and 1,032 were considered evaluable. The clinical performance estimates are based on these 1,032 study subjects between 0 and 5 DPSO. The 1,032 results consisted of 128 positive and 904 negative study subjects as defined by the comparator result. The WELLlife COVID-19 Antigen Test Rx demonstrated the following performance, when compared to the result of the SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR comparator assay:

  • Positive Percent Agreement (PPA) of 84.38% (108/128) (95% CI: 77.10%, 89.65%)
  • Negative Percent Agreement (NPA) of 99.67% (901/904) (95% CI: 99.03%, 99.89%).
