Summary

This trial will evaluate the Metrix COVID/Flu Test for use in home testing. The study will be conducted in simulated home environments and urgent care facilities. The purpose of the trial is to validate

Who is the study for?

This trial is for individuals who can participate in a study to test the Metrix COVID/Flu Test, which detects SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza A/B. Participants will use the test in simulated home environments within or near clinical settings like urgent care facilities.

What is being tested?

The trial is evaluating the Metrix COVID/Flu Test's accuracy for detecting SARS-CoV-2, Flu A, and Flu B from swab or saliva samples. The testing environment mimics home use but takes place near active clinical sites across multiple U.S. locations and potentially abroad.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves diagnostic testing rather than medication or vaccines, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, discomfort from swab collection may occur.

Experimental Treatment

Group I: OTC StudyExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

This OTC study will take place in simulated home environments which will be set up within or near clinical settings (e.g., urgent care facilities). The study will enroll symptomatic subjects only.
