iHealth COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test, 2 Tests per Pack,FDA EUA Authorized OTC At-home Self Test, Results in 15 Minutes with Non-invasive Nasal Swab, Easy to Use & No Discomfort

So far, these tests have been accurate. Sadly, i tested positive once and even when it was confirmed from my doctor, as much as i hated those results, this test did its job. Taking the test is easy and requires little effort. While i am sure that the test results are easy to read, i am blind. Therefore, i always have to have someone who can see read me the results. I wish there was a more accessible version of this test out there so blind people can take them individually without assistance. If i can teach computers and install network systems and build computers as a blind person, i should be able to take my own test and read my own results. Even if the results were in the form of a word, like ‘positive’ or ‘negative’ that would help because i could use my phone’s camera to read the text like i use it for reading other things like qr codes and other text in life. All-in-all, a great purchase and it comes in handy for those who work with the public and who want to be sure they are safe around others.
Highly recommended!

I am not too sure on the accuracy of this product, but when i used it i got negative and i did a pcr the following day and got my results within 72hours and it was also negative. I would assume the accuracy is pretty good, but i know there are a mix in the reviews. From what i have heard from friends and people i know, they have said it is pretty accurate (some tested positive and some negative and followed with pcr to confirm results). It is an easy at-home test kit that the person can administer themselves or have someone do it. I would suggest to wear gloves from the start of opening of the box until everything gets disposed, but i know that is just what gives me more peace of mind. Read the directions carefully. These come in a pack of 2.

I have used both versions of this test kit. One version has the activation liquid already in the tube and the other you have to squeeze a little packet of liquid in the tube before swirling your swab with your sample. The instructions are lear and easy to follow and the results plainly displayed. I knocked off 1 star on accuracy because there’s always a chance for false negative/positive for any over the counter covid test kit.

This at home test kit seems to work well. It’s easy to use. My wife started showing symptoms a few weeks ago and the test accurately showed a positive–medically verified. Thankfully, she has recovered.
However, i’m not all that sure about the expiration dates. I received one two weeks ago, and another arrived yesterday. Both have a sticker with a new expiration date covering the original expiration date. If not for the sticker both boxes would be expired. I understand the fda has extended the expiration date. We’ll have to trust that decision is based on science. But i’m a bit skeptical since both boxes had an original august expiration date but now one reads expiration in november and the other in february. That seems a bit random to me.

I like the ease and quickness of getting results when a member of my family is sick. It helped confirm that i was positive 2 wks ago so that i could isolate from the rest of my family preventing them from getting this awful infection as it was brutal even having been vaccinated and boosted. I don’t know how someone who hasn’t been vaccinated can handle what i just went through. Get the new booster!!!

There was nothing that i disliked about these test, they are very accurate and easy to use. Each time we tested positive we went to the doctors and also tested positive i have a big family so there was quite a few of us, so the accuracy is perfect.

These at home covid tests are by far the most user-friendly and have been quite sensitive and useful for our family. They detected my son’s covid case before he had any distinct symptoms, and they detected my husband’s very early as well. I find these and binax are the only two brands i would use regularly.

This test kit is pretty straight forward. I have found it accurate 100% took many negative tests until the day i was feeling like i had covid and sure enough test came back positive. Three weeks later negative. My recommendation is avoid the flu but go ahead and get the test kits.

These kits are like having aspirin in your medicine cabinet for the what ifs of covid life . My sister in law and niece( haven’t seen them in 3 yrs) were on route by car from upstate ny after having attended a church outing. They wanted to drop by on route say hello maybe spend a night? I told my husband i insisted a covid test despite their vaccine status+ booster.
I told them this – they snickered but reluctantly agreed. I set up a table and 2 chairs with a clock 6 feet away so they could test outside on the driveway . Said hello 20 feet away. One had already said she had a stuffy nose “ probably from the hotel a.c.” they stayed in over memorial day weekend. The instruction sheet very easy to read. I coached them from a far off distance outside. Sister in law – positive . Niece – . Negative. I suggested they either keep going and stay at the nieces house in philly and isolate. I told them to take the 2 test kit with them . “ we will talk over the phone. “ the niece felt “ off that night” and tested herself again + the next day. The in law + again. They both felt like “ crap” , missed some time off from work etc- but both alive. The point being, easy to use, 2 in a box , ( other companies) only have one in box. You really need to test twice with symptoms. 15 min but more important if asymptomatic ( my niece) – . Not surprised because they had been together over a long weekend in an hotel room, in a car x 8 hrs , no masks. The only tricky part is i had to tell them from a distance how to squeeze the cotton swab in the test vial 10-15 times to extract potential viral material from the nasal swab before the 3 drops go in the test well. The rest was easy to read. Who knows how many others were exposed) no masking was done at the event.
I caught an unnecessary exposure for my family. You will have to give guests the kit ( free), take some resistance, maybe damage a family relationship a little but this virus doesn’t care!
The test table is still on the driveway with outdoor chairs. Will be bleaching them all down wearing gloves , air dry before storing away.

Was a little worried in the beginning because i always used abbots, but these are great and now my new favorite! Super super easy once you learn it after being used to abbots. Always accurate and never had an issue

So my boyfriend got covid and i was testing every day multiple times a day. I read negative every time for the first 3 days of his symptoms. My throat was feeling a little funny the entire time, but the test kept reading negative. For the record, i really got into the nitty gritty of my nostril holes and a good amount of mucous was collected each time. I wasn’t being a weenie and only collecting the stray boogers. My saliva was a little thick, so i thought ‘why not try putting a little spit in the tube?’ so i swabbed my tonsils just for fun (and science) and woop de freaking do i was positive for covid.

So long story short, not the most accurate even if you follow all the instructions.

I have used this product before and it is easy to use. I bought another one and had it shipped to a family member because they are sick. They called me and said there was not enough liquid in the vial (has to be above the line on the tube or it says it will produce invalid results). So he had to open up the second test vial to get another drop or two of liquid to make it reach the line. Basically, we paid for two tests but only got to use one. Why would the company not have enough drops in the vial to make sure there is enough to perform the test??

I bought this after using one of two test kits that were distributed months ago by the federal government. Then i ordered some more free ones from the feds.

Well, guess what?

The ‘free’ ones were already obsolete. These, on the other hand, are good for a couple of months. Which i guess is about as good as you’ll get from this type of test.

Note: if accuracy is really important to you, go to a medical provider or ‘urgent care’ center. The rapid antibody test is known to have a 20% false negative rate. Still, these can be useful as a quick test before deciding whether to go to a doctor/urgent care for an rt-pcr test (the ‘gold standard’)

I’ve bought several of these covid tests (10 at a time) and have not had an issue prior to receiving this lot. The c line is very faint and has been the case on the first three testing kits i’ve used from this lot. The result pictured above was 15 minutes after the test was administered. My concern is that i would not be able to tell if there is a positive result because the lines are so faint.

I never imagined covid would still be a concern over 2 years after the pandemic began. We masked per regulations and were vaccinated, but still ended up getting covid in june 2022. It can be difficult to tell whether sniffles, cough and sore throat are a cold, allergies, covid or something else. These ihealth tests, while not 100% accurate, can determine if it is covid. My husband and i are high risk, plus i’m occasionally around my elderly father, so it is important to us that we know. We used this brand every time we tested at home (first free kits from the government, then purchased). The box contains 2 tests, so it’s about $8.50/test, which is quite reasonable. It’s important you follow the step-by-step instructions; you will have your results 15 minutes later. It was this test that showed my husband was covid positive, with my son and i being tested thereafter at an urgent care. A professional pcr test is more accurate, but these tests are good for home use. Note that the tests are good for 3 months after their stamped expiration date.

I have used one of these tests each week since january. They have usually been excellent, but a few times the control line has been extremely faint and difficult to read.

When i first bought these tests, there used to be a small plastic vial with the liquid in that you then had to empty into the testing tube. Now the tubes seem to mostly come pre-filled, which, as another reviewer pointed out, sometimes doesn’t come all the way to the minimum line. I’ve had at least 2 boxes recently where one of the tubes wasn’t filled at all; had nothing in it. So that test was completely wasted. I’ve also had a couple of boxes where the test result didn’t show up clear, was ambiguous – causing me to test again with a different brand to be sure of the result – or the result didn’t show at all, despite following all the instructions meticulously. It’s a shame because these are not cheap.

Bought couple of this test kit. It’s reliable, easy to use, and easy to read the result. But it’s more pricey compare to other brands. Recommend: yes.

I haven’t taken enough to test the % rate given in the instructions but everyone we have taken (3) have been accurate. Easy to follow instructions, 15 minutes is also accurate.

Product arrived as promised. Have not used it yet-hope i do not have to! I had to toss all my free tests as they had all expired and none of them were on the extended list. Good to have these on hand in case i need them.
