iHealth Rapid Antigen Test Kit Supply
According to a bulletin sent out last week, DHS has procured a supply of iHealth rapid antigen tests. Please note, future orders placed for BinaxNOW rapid antigen tests might be fulfilled with iHealth tests. You will be notified via email when your antigen order is filled with iHealth tests. They anticipated beginning to distribute these tests this week.
All specimen collectors must review the instructions completely before administering the iHealth test to help ensure accurate results. Results need to be reported in COVID Connect or in another reporting mechanism currently in use.
Tests cannot be given to individuals for use at-home, despite labeling about at-home use on the test kit boxes. As a condition of receiving COVID-19 testing supplies and/or laboratory services at no cost from the State of Wisconsin, you agree to use and administer testing supplies and laboratory services as approved by the Department of Health Services. The tests must be used at a site with a CLIA certificate of waiver.
Tests can be ordered through the Wisconsin COVID-19 Collection Supplies Request web portal. The ordering process remains the same.
