Brief summary

This study will evaluate the efficacy of various sample collection methods for use with the Spartan COVID-19 System. It will compare the results from the Spartan COVID-19 System with results that are obtained using a predicate lab-based COVID-19 test that uses a nasopharyngeal swab sample. The goal is to determine which sample collection methods are most effective in capturing SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Detailed description

Once the subject is recruited,two nasopharyngeal swabs using the standard method will be taken from the patient. Additionally, two nasal swab samples will be taken using the Spartan COVID-19 swabs with an adjusted tip. All samples will be analyzed using the Spartan COVID-19 System. The lab-based predicate test will be taken at the same time, with results reported back to Spartan to be compared with results obtained from the Spartan COVID-19 System.
