Legal requirements for a rapid test for self-administration
Until February 2021, only medically trained personnel were allowed to perform a Corona antigen test. Rapid tests were therefore only available from doctors, health facilities, special test lanes or as a pharmacy test.
Since 03.02.2021, rapid tests for self-testing may also be distributed to end consumers or non-medical institutions. However, Federal Minister of Health Jens Spahn has formulated some conditions that a Coronatest for home use must fulfil:
CE certification
In order to place a rapid test for self-administration on the market, the manufacturer must undergo a precisely defined test procedure. Independent bodies guarantee that the products meet all the required quality criteria. As proof, the product receives a CE marking with reference to the testing body to ensure maximum transparency.
Special approval as an alternative
For the transitional period until CE certification, manufacturers can also apply to the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM) for special approval. The authority then also checks whether the Coronatest can be used safely at home by laypersons. Whether CE certification or special approval - the quality requirements for a home test remain the same.
Package insert suitable for laypersons
Home tests often contain one and the same test material as those test kits intended for professional users. An important difference, however, is that a home test requires an instruction leaflet written in layman's terms. This contains detailed instructions, usually illustrated with pictures, on how to perform the rapid test correctly. It must also inform the user about what to do after a positive, negative or unclear result. - Normally, a positive antigen test is followed by a PCR laboratory test for confirmation. In addition, the package insert contains the important note that a negative test result is only a snapshot.
