Verified at-home RSV tests
ScreenMe verifies RSV antigen self-tests performed at home, so kindergartens, schools, care providers and households with infants can screen for RSV without a clinic visit.
Why RSV
RSV is a major winter respiratory virus, most dangerous for infants, young children and older adults, and it circulates alongside influenza. Self-tests that detect RSV are now available, usually as combination kits with influenza and COVID-19.
Which kits
Any standard antigen self-test that includes RSV, nasal or saliva. Most RSV self-tests are 3-in-1 or 4-in-1 combination kits.
Where RSV screening is used
Kindergartens and nurseries during a wave. Visitors and staff of care homes. Households and programmes protecting infants. Paediatric and elderly-care programmes between visits.
Screening young children
A parent performs the test on camera and ScreenMe verifies the procedure and the child's enrolled identity; saliva kits are often easier with small children.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a stand-alone RSV self-test?
