GOOD:• Tests for COVID-19 and both major strains of influenza (flu).• Lines indicating infection are clearly labeled ("COVID," "Flu A," "Flu B") instead of one-letter codes• Not substantially more difficult to use than most home COVID tests• Independent testing by Yale suggests it's accurate and specific (not quite 100% but no home antigen test is perfect)NOT SO GOOD:• Procedure is a bit longer than competing tests, with an extra "wait" step while soaking the swab• Dropper cap isn't attached to the vial, easier to lose• More than twice as expensive as other 3-in-1 antigen tests with similar accuracy and specificity (one for $16; others offer four for $36—and you'll need at least two to follow proper protocol)BOTTOM LINE:If Amazon can get this one to you more quickly when you need it, or if you're buying it for someone who would benefit from the clear labeling (and can handle the finicky testing process of these home antigen kits), it's a good choice. But you'll pay a substantial premium for a very slightly better label.

This rapid antigen Covid and Flu A-B test is excellent, easy to use and a good starting point on trying to determine if you have Covid or the flu. Understand though, it is not as accurate as an FDA-authorized molecular test which detects the genetic material of the various viruses. This test determines if proteins from the virus are present-make no mistake this is an accurate test. It is just not the MOST accurate - so if you get a negative result and still have symptoms go to your healthcare provider as soon as possible. All that being said: this is a straight forward test to take and use: read the directions through BEFORE you take the test. Make sure you understand all the steps and be prepared to time the parts of the testing method that require accurate timing. Once you have read the directions and understand them you will find the test is only a few steps. Take a sample; soak the swab for a minute; place 8 drops in the test cassette; wait 15 minutes. Read the result.The directions for use layout all the possible results so you can easily compare your results.There is also a frequently asked questions section that should help you as well as a toll-free number provided if you need to call.Overall, this is a very easy to use test that meets FDA’s requirements for accuracy (according to the material supplied by the manufacturer). It is recommended.

I picked this up cause with all the colds and flus going around recently I figured having something like this on hand might save me a doctor visit if I started feeling sick. I hate burning copays and hospital time on stuff that turns out to just be a mild cold. Unfortunately this week I started to feel sick. The testing process was simple enough, and sadly it said I had covid. I ended up making an appointment with my doctor and they confirmed it. So bad news for me, but at least the test was accurate. :(

A little expensive for one test but very easily used. Directions are easy to follow and comes in various languages. It covers more than just Covid and covers flu etc. always good to know the status of both when this season comes around. Wish there were more to the quantity though.

It seems well made and easy to use. Worth the price, if it saves you a doctors visit! It has an 18 month shelf life, which is good since I don't have a need to use it yet but wanted to keep it on hand during flu season.

This is a review of the HEALGEN Rapid Check COVID-19, Flu A&B Antigen Test Kit based on external information. You should always talk to your own doctor about advisability of such testing and if you have any difficulty breathing, or have high fever, or if others notice you are looking terrible, do not take chances, go get care. You can look up Healgen's 1st to be authorized status on the FDA website under, "FDA Authorizes Marketing of First Home Flu and COVID-19 Combination Test Outside of Emergency Use Authorities." It is dated October 07, 2024.According to FDA testing, this kit is one of a now growing number that test COVID and Flu using antigen detection. Per FDA data cited on Yale University's website, "...the Healgen test correctly identified 99% of negative and 92% of positive samples of SARS-CoV-2 samples; it also identified 99.9% of negative flu A and B samples and 92.5% of positive flu A and B samples." That is very good specificity and sensitivity though PCR technology (that you cannot do at home) is still the gold standard.This antigen test is a surprisingly good tool. Arguably better than many other tests that were used for COVID alone. You swab like the COVID tests multiple times in each nares of your nose. Swirl into the solution without again touching nose) and drip as directed into a well. Then use a time and wait for the result. Quite simple.This is an excellent tool. But again, if you are significantly ill, do get help. The life you save may be yours. Do not simply check if it is COVID or Flu as other illnesses such as bacterial pneumonia can cause severe, even lethal illness. It cannot treat you as a substitute for your doctor or an Emergency Department.Please remember: If you are gravely ill, nothing saves your life unless you act to do so.
