The identyME AI will understand 85% of the tests on the markets. So there is a good chance, that your test will work.
However we will not be able to issue a valid certificate in some cases if you use a test, that is not on the list, because of regulatory limitations.
Per example the EU DCC (green pass) can only be issued if you use an approved EU RAT list test.
The reliability of the result depends on the test cassette and on the accuracy of the readout.
identyME supports only tests, that have been independently evaluated and have proven to have an total sensitivity > 70% and a sensitivity of 100% for high viral loads (Cq ≤ 25)Please keep in mind, that a negative result does not mean, that you cannot carry the virus! It only means, that you are not highly contagious!

Stay home. Most people with COVID-19 have mild illness and can recover at home without medical care.Do not leave your home, except to get medical care. Do not visit public areas.
Take care of yourself. Get rest and stay hydrated. Take over-the-counter medicines, such as acetaminophen, to help you feel better. Stay in touch with your doctor. Call before you get medical care. Be sure to get care if you have trouble breathing, or have any other emergency warning signs, or if you think it is an emergency. Avoid public transportation, ride-sharing, or taxis.
Separate yourself from other people. As much as possible, stay in a specific room and away from other people and pets in your home. If possible, you should use a separate bathroom. If you need to be around other people or animals in or outside of the home, wear a mask. Tell your close contacts that they may have been exposed to COVID-19. An infected person can spread COVID-19 starting 48 hours (or 2 days) before the person has any symptoms or tests positive. By letting your close contacts know they may have been exposed to COVID-19, you are helping to protect everyone.
Monitor your symptoms. Symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, cough, or other symptoms. Follow care instructions from your healthcare provider and local health department. Your local health authorities may give instructions on checking your symptoms and reporting information. (https://www.cdc.gov/)
Your identyME test will come with a QR code printed on it. This QR code is unique and enables identyME to track the test cassette through the whole testing process.
After opening the test cassette, scan the QR code printed on it and you will be directed to our web app. You will then be asked to register and identify yourself with your photo ID and the camera of your smartphone.
You perform the test according to the instructions in front of your running camera. After taking the sample, wait 15 minutes until the test result is visible.
Then you take a picture of the test cascade with the QR code and the test result using the WebApp and receive your official certificate after just a few minutes
