The TouchBio 5-in-1 Rapid Antigen Test is an at-home nasal self-test designed to detect five common respiratory viruses from a single nasal swab: COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2), Influenza A, Influenza B, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) and Adenovirus (ADV). Because these infections can produce similar respiratory symptoms, the combination test provides a convenient way to screen for multiple viruses at the same time rather than using several separate tests. Results are read after 15 minutes. The kit is designed for self-testing and contains the components required to perform one test. A negative result does not exclude infection, and persistent or worsening symptoms should be discussed with an appropriate healthcare professional.
TouchBio 5-in-1 respiratory rapid antigen combination tests are supplied in Australia as therapeutic goods for self-testing.
Current Australian regulatory information includes TouchBio-branded 5-in-1 ADV, RSV, COVID-19 and Flu A/B nasal combination rapid antigen self-tests on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods.
Because Australian TouchBio 5-in-1 product information currently includes different ARTG and manufacturer records associated with different versions of the product, HMS does not state a specific ARTG number in this product description until the exact regulatory details printed on the physical HMS stock have been verified.
Always refer to the ARTG, manufacturer, reference number, expiry date and Instructions for Use supplied with the actual test kit received.

What is RSV?

What is ADV?
ADV refers to Adenovirus. Adenoviruses can cause respiratory illness and may produce symptoms similar to other viral respiratory infections.
Why test for five viruses at once?
COVID-19, influenza, RSV and adenovirus can produce overlapping symptoms. A combination test allows multiple common respiratory viruses to be screened from a single specimen.

The product is designed to differentiate the target viruses and may identify co-infections where more than one target antigen is detected.
What age is the TouchBio 5-in-1 suitable for?
Current Australian product information states that it is suitable for people aged 3 years and above. Testing children under 15 should be performed with additional care and caution.
