Faced with the pandemic viral circulation of SARS-CoV-2, healthcare establishments have had to maintain an effective screening strategy in order to prevent nosocomial clusters. Automated antigenic tests appear to be a reliable and complementary alternative to RT-PCR (reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction) in order to optimize patient care in the emergency department. We report our experience of the deployment of the LumiraDx antigen tests on the LumiraDx platform, as well as the comparison of these tests' results with the RT-PCR results on a population of patients sampled in the emergency department.
