The AcculaTM System from Thermo Fisher Scientific is a rapid diagnostic platform that combines the accuracy of RT-PCR with the simplicity, convenience, and procedural familiarity of traditional rapid immunoassays. The AcculaTM SARS-CoV-2 Test has received an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the FDA for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)—waived environments. Designed for use with the palm-sized AcculaT" Dock, the Accula SARS-CoV-2 Test provides reliable, qualitative results in approximately 30 minutes.
OSCillating Amplification Reaction (OscarTm), proprietary PCR technology, enables rapid exponential amplification while reducing overall thermocycling times.

Nasal swab samples were collected from 52 pediatric patients at a drive-through collection site. Testing was performed with the Accula SARS-CoV-2 Test and the comparator method, an EUA-authorized RT-PCR SARS-CoV-2 test.

The evaluation of sensitivity and MERS-CoV cross-reactivity was performed using reference material, blinded samples, and a standard protocol provided by the FDA. The study included a range finding study and a confirmation study for LoD. Blinded sample testing was used to establish specificity and to corroborate the LoD. Testing was performed using the Accula SARS-CoV-2 Test with the Accula Dock. NDU/mL = RNA NAAT detectable units/mL N/A: not applicable N/D: not detected
