We compared the performance of ID NOW™ COVID-19 assay nasal swabs with RT-PCR of nasopharyngeal swabs for SARS-CoV-2 in an outbreak setting, determining whether addition of RT-PCR of residual nasal swabs (rNS) (post ID NOW™ elution) would increase overall analytic sensitivity. Devices were placed at 2 long term and 1 acute care sites and 51 participants were recruited. Prospective paired nasopharyngeal and nasal samples were collected for RT-PCR and ID NOW™. ID NOW™ had a positive and negative categorical agreement of 86% and 93% compared to RT-PCR of nasopharyngeal swabs. Sensitivity and specificity of the ID NOW™ was 86% and 100%, positive and negative predictive value was 100% and 95% (COVID-19 positivity rate: 8%). Addition of rNS RT-PCR increased the positive and negative categorical agreement to 93% and 97%. Based on these results, we propose an alternative workflow which includes complementary testing of rNS on a secondary assay.
