Free COVID Home Tests

Test kits are available at the Sunnyside Fire Department 513 S 8th ST, Sunnyside WA from Monday-Friday 8:00 am to 4:30 pm.

Description

The iHealth® COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test is a lateral flow assay intended for the qualitative detection of nucleocapsid protein antigen from SARS-CoV-2.

This test is authorized for non-prescription home use with self-collected anterior nasal (nares) swab samples from individuals aged 15 years or older with symptoms of COVID-19 within the first 7 days of symptom onset. This test is also authorized for non-prescription home use with adult-collected nasal swab samples from individuals aged 2 years or older with symptoms of COVID-19 within the first 7 days of symptom onset.

This test is also authorized for non-prescription home use with self-collected anterior nasal (nares) swab samples from individuals aged 15 years or older, or adult-collected anterior nasal swab samples from individuals aged 2 years or older, with or without symptoms or other epidemiological reasons to suspect COVID-19 when tested twice over 3 days with at least 24 hours (and no more than 48 hours) between tests.

KEY FEATURES

FDA AUTHORIZED 15-MINS SELF-TEST: The test is a 15-minute self-test to detect whether or not an individual has COVID-19. The test can be completed in the comfort of your home without shipping your sample to a lab.

EASY TO USE ZERO DISCOMFORT: A test can be done by inserting only 1/2 to 3/4 inches with a simple non-invasive nasal swab, easy to use, and has zero discomfort. Step-by-step instructional videos are available in our app for easy following. (Installation of the app is optional.)

FOR AGES 2 AND ABOVE: The self-administered test is recommended for individuals aged 15 years and older. Adult collection is required for testing children 2-14 years old.

DETECT CURRENT AND NEW COVID VARIANTS: iHealth has completed testing on several heat-inactivated variant strains and the iHealth COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test was able to detect the mutations.

GROUP TESTING MANAGEMENT VIA MOBILE APP: The iHealth Test app allows the administrator of a small group to monitor and track the group members’ test results when needed at school, work, or events.
