FDA Emergency Use Authorization
The Lyra SARS-CoV-2 assay is a real-time RT-PCR assay intended for the in vitro qualitative detection of human coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 from viral RNA extracted from nasal, nasopharyngeal (NP) or oropharyngeal (OP) swab specimens from patients with signs and symptoms of COVID-19. The assay targets the non-structural polyprotein (pp1ab) of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The authorized testing consists of nucleic acid extraction on the bioMerieux NucliSENS® easyMAG® system or EMAG system, followed by RT-PCR on one of six thermocyclers: Applied Biosystems® 7500 Fast Dx, Applied Biosystems 7500 Standard, QuantStudioTM Real-Time PCR Instrument, Roche LightCycler® 480, BioRad CFX96 Touch, or Qiagen Rotor-Gene Q.
