A testing panel was specifically developed to test PoCT devices for this study (Supplementary Material), consisting of 3 patient populations: (1) sera from 91 patients with SARS-CoV-2 detected by RT-PCR from upper and/or lower respiratory tract specimens; (2) sera from 36 patients with seasonal coronavirus infections or other acute infections (eg, dengue, cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus); and (3) serum from a random cohort (56 patients) of the Australian population obtained in 2018. In this study, we assessed the performance characteristics of 5 serological PoCT, a commercial ELISA, and a commercial novel sVNT against a large serum panel from a cohort of over 100 patients with RT-PCR-confirmed SARS-CoV-2. ./cache/cord-258905-0hgdtalg.txt ./txt/cord-258905-0hgdtalg.txt
