Your test kit should arrive within the three business days that follow your order date. For the best shipping experience, we recommend placing your order at least a full week before the day you plan to take your test.

We recommend purchasing two tests per person just in case you lose or contaminate a part of the test, or have an error during the testing process. Technically a two or three test bundle can be split between members of a traveling party, with one test per person.

Although this rapid antigen test is one type of "viral" test that has been approved by the CDC for airline travel, please check with your airline to make sure you can use the results shown on your NAVICA app to prove eligibility for travel. The airlines are officially in charge of checking test results and deciding who flies to the US and who does not, so it can vary per airline as to what they will accept.

Test kits may indicate an early expiration date. However, the FDA has approved a 3-month expiration extension to the expiration date on the test kit for all test kits. Read the FDA Approval Letter here.

No, this test, along with NAVICA app and the eMed website, allows you to test at home. On the Navica app, go to the "Home Test" section to get tested with eMed and a certified guide. You will also go the eMed website to start the test.

Antigen tests detect proteins of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that form during the infection cycle and indicate that a person has an active infection. Rapid antigen tests offer several important benefits. They are highly portable, scalable, easy-to-use and provide a flexible approach to helping more people in more places get access to reliable testing in a cost effective way.

The manufacturer of the BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card Home Test Kit recommends test kits be stored at temperatures between 2 and 30°C (35.6 - 86°F). Any extended exposure of the test kit to temperatures beyond this range may affect quality of test results. If you have ordered home delivery of the test kit and expect temperatures in your area to be outside of this range at time of delivery, it is recommended that you arrange for someone to be home at or near time of delivery to receive the test kit.

This is a breakthrough rapid antigen test, which is a simple test procedure using a nasal swab and a test the size of a credit card. It can detect an active COVID-19 infection, and you will typically get your results within 15 minutes.

Proper administration of the testing and accurate results reporting are absolutely necessary to help save lives and slow the spread of COVID-19. eMed’s Certified Guides help ensure the virtually guided testing sessions are administered and read correctly so both the individual user and the broader public health system can be confident in the results. eMed’s innovative digital point-of-care solution enables this supervision to occur remotely, protecting individuals from potential exposure in physical healthcare settings and enabling eMed to process millions of tests per day. Anyone who administers their own test without an eMed Certified Guide will be ineligible to receive a digital NAVICA™️ Pass of their negative results. Anyone who administers their own test without an eMed Certified Guide will be ineligible to receive a digital NAVICA™️ Pass of their negative results.

If you're ordering for a minor, you must be a parent or legal guardian. If you are ordering test kits in bulk for a group, they must be under the care and supervision of you as the program coordinator to help administer the test. If you are not either of these, you are not eligible to purchase these kits.
