About the Program
We are pleased to announce Quidel’s Together Again program in coordination with U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Quidel along with The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will provide point-of-care instruments and COVID-19 rapid tests allowing our nursing home communities the ability to quickly and easily test residents and staff. Together Again is an important step toward the long-awaited reunion of residents with their loved ones.
Quidel Sofia® 2 analyzers and Sofia SARS Antigen FIA testing kits, with results in as little as 15 minutes, will be provided together. All test results will be captured and deidentified data will transmit to the Centers of Disease Control easily through the Quidel cloud-based Virena® surveillance system tied to the Sofia 2 analyzers.
We share in the concern for our long-term care residents’ health and safety and look forward to supporting you in caring for their needs through this initiative. If you are obtaining a unit from the HHS initiative, you will be receiving additional information from Quidel in the near future. We would like to thank all of you for your dedicated service and understanding as we work to bring families back Together Again.
