Employee COVID Tests: At-Home Vs. On-Site

With events, travel, conferences, and people returning to the workplace, it’s crucial to make sure your organization has a fast and effective COVID-19 testing program in place. With stronger variants popping up all the time and vaccination rates below where they need to be, one of the best ways to minimize the spread is with an abundance of testing. Many organizations and agencies have found great success by testing as often as possible to catch cases early and prevent mass transmission. In order to do this, your organization needs to know which test kit will work best for your needs. iPromo carries a wide variety of COVID-19 test kits in bulk so you can find the best fit to make sure your testing program is successful.

What’s the difference between screening and diagnostic testing?

Diagnostic Testing

A Diagnostic test is administered by a professional when a patient shows symptoms of COVID-19, or has had a recent exposure. There are various types of diagnostic kits used for this type of testing, and some are specifically for people who are already exhibiting symptoms.

Screening Programs

A Screening Program is put into place and administered when you need to test a large number of people that you don’t have any reason to suspect have COVID. This is the kind of testing that you want to administer at an airport, a music festival, and potentially restaurants or other gathering spots. These tests need to be fast, easy, and accurate. And ideally, they need to be able to be administered by a layperson and not require a healthcare professional to get a quick result. The FDA has authorized some tests for screening.

Why iPromo?

When you’re researching COVID-19 testing kits for your employees, students, the general population, or the enlisted, you must know which test kit will suit your testing needs the best. All of our At-Home and On-Site test kits will ensure that you can accurately screen at a large scale. This can make it much easier to screen people before they attend large gatherings, and help keep transmission rates low by catching infections early before they can spread too drastically. iPromo has supplied test kits to the US Army, the Department of Defense, and many other reputable organizations, agencies and schools of all sizes. From Abbott BinaxNOW™ to Quidel QuickVue®, we carry the most trusted FDA EUA (Emergency Use Authorization) test kit brands on the market.

At-Home Test Kits

At-home test kits are a great option for testing in the comfort of home before going back to a workplace or attending large gatherings. Our at-home solutions are prescribed for self-use with self-collected swabs from the nostril, from people 15 years of age or older and in some cases from 2 years of age if administered by an adult. These kits are accurate and effective as an alternative to on-site testing:

  • At-home tests can report results in as quick as 10 minutes, so you can begin to take action when it matters most.
  • They can have a test sensitivity from 84% up to 97.1% and specificity of up to 98.5%
  • There’s no need to send the results to a lab to find out what’s going on. You can read it right there at home.
  • A prescription is not needed. These tests are over-the-counter, available to the public.
  • These tests can detect multiple COVID strains, and the BinaxNOW tests can detect the more dangerous Delta variant.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you take a sample?

Follow the instructions in your at-home test using a self-collected swab from the nostril. On-site programs are run by a medical professional or trained administrator who will collect the sample from the inside of the nose as per the included instructions. It’s a simple and quick process.

What if I Get a Positive Result?

If you receive a positive result, immediately self-isolate and contact your healthcare provider. They’ll be able to give you further instructions. If your symptoms worsen, then seek emergency treatment immediately.

What Do Sensitivity and Specificity Mean?

Sensitivity refers to the ability of the test to detect a true positive. And Specificity checks for the ability to find a true negative. The higher these numbers, the more accurate your result will be.
