Both not PCR. BD test is antibody, the Abbott ID Now is based on an isothermal amplification and should only take 13 minutes. The regular Abbott PCR test takes 24 hrs, the Roche 3.5 hrs according to the manufacturers.Or
ID NOW™ COVID-19
The ID NOW™ COVID-19 assay is now available for use on the ID NOW platform under U.S. Food and Drug Administration Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). The ID NOW™ COVID-19 rapid test delivers high-quality molecular positive results in as little as 5 minutes, targeting the coronavirus (COVID-19)...www.alere.com
I can’t find the other. Thought it was Roche but apparently not. It’s supposed to be more sensitive—Abbott’s is on the order of 50-65% sensitive, I've read.
If it was the Abbott ID Now then I would be highly cautious with the results:
Negative results should be treated as presumptive and, if inconsistent with clinical signs and symptoms or
necessary for patient management, should be tested with different authorized or cleared molecular tests.
Negative results do not preclude SARS-CoV-2 infection and should not be used as the sole basis for patient
management decisions. Negative results should be considered in the context of a patient’s recent exposures, history and the presence of clinical signs and symptoms consistent with COVID-19.
