Rutgers Pilot for PREDICT- Patient POC Test
Purpose
A pilot study was initiated to assess feasibility of testing asymptomatic dental patients presenting to the Oral Medicine Clinic at Rutgers School of Dental Medicine for SARS-CoV-2 viral antigen using a point-of-care (POC) Rapid Antigen test. 14 subjects with upcoming appointment at the Oral Medicine clinic, Rutgers School of Dental Medicine, with no history of documented COVID-19 infection or viral exposure, were enrolled in a study that interrogated patients' perceptions of safety and feedback regarding their testing experience. All 14 patients expressed initial interest, however, 10 patients completed informed consent and completed study procedures. Institutional Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) certification of waiver was obtained prior to conducting the study. Communicable Diseases Reporting and Surveillance System (CDRSS) registration and training were completed to enable reporting results of the POC test.

Detailed Description
A pilot study was initiated to assess feasibility of testing asymptomatic dental patients presenting to the Oral Medicine Clinic at Rutgers School of Dental Medicine for SARS-CoV-2 viral antigen using a point-of-care (POC) Rapid Antigen test. 14 subjects with upcoming appointment at the Oral Medicine clinic, Rutgers School of Dental Medicine, with no history of documented COVID-19 infection or viral exposure, were enrolled in a study that interrogated patients' perceptions of safety and feedback regarding their testing experience. All 14 patients expressed initial interest, however, 10 patients completed informed consent and completed study procedures on their appointments, the remaining 4 patients did not present for their appointment. Following initial interest in participation over the phone, the subjects completed a pre-visit survey prior to their upcoming appointment. The day prior to their visit, a phone triage was completed and repeated as they checked in for their appointment. A nasal sample was collected and processed using the FDA EUA authorized Rapid Antigen Test BD Veritor Plus Analyzer, BD Sciences. An end-of-study survey was collected to assess patients' feedback about their experience and their perception of safety.
