Lab-Quality, Portable Detection System
Rapid covid tests are crucial if we want to avoid spreading the virus. Testing our COVID status is an extra step we need to take in addition to wearing masks and using hand sanitiser.
Welcome to the new generation of rapid, lab-quality, at-home molecular testing. Your Circle HealthPod device detects and screens for infectious diseases. Remember that your results are displayed on the associated mobile app, and on the device itself.
Your Circle HealthPod device will light up to let you know testing is in progress. Within 20 minutes, the device will illuminate either green for a “Negative” test result, or red for a “Positive” test result. Your mobile app will confirm these same results. Simply look down at your smartphone to see the confirmed “Negative” or “Positive” results.
If the virus is not detected in your testing sample, you will see the green light for a “Negative” test result. You will only see a red warning light for a “Positive” test result if the virus is detected in your nasal sample.
Rapid COVID Test: For People On-The-Go To Feel More Confident
Rapid detection of COVID-19 is ideal for people on the go who interact with others quite often for their job or as part of their lifestyle.
