What is the Difference Between the Proctored and Un-Proctored Tests?

Proctored Tests

  • The15-minute BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card Home Test kits, which have received FDA Emergency Use Authorization for at-home testing, are used in collaboration with a telehealth session.
  • Individuals who want to be tested will need to create an account using the NAVICA smartphone app or at www.mynavica.abbott.

Un-Proctored Tests

  • DO NOT require a telehealth session; they are conducted at home and are for personal use.
  • DO NOT produce a documented result that can be used for travel, to return or stay in school, or be released from quarantine in Ohio.

Ohio Department of Health & eMed’s “Test-to-Treat” Option 

The Ohio Department of Health is partnering with eMed to offer a virtual
“test-to-treat” option that can quickly connect individuals to testing and a
prescription to secure COVID-19 treatment.

It is important to note that the proctored tests with the clinical evaluation are only temporary through the Holiday season.

Where Do I Pick Up My COVID-19 Test Kit?

The BinaxNOW COVID-19 AG Card Home Test kits can be picked up at the library’s drive-up window during open hours. Test kits will not be distributed inside the building.

*Please note: If you are feeling sick or have symptoms, designate someone else to pick up the test.

How Many Test Kits Can I Obtain Through the Library?

Since demand for testing is high, the at-home testing kits are available on a first-come, first served basis, with a limit of 2 kits (4 tests) per household. The library cannot guarantee test kit availability; please check the library’s website for the latest updates.

When Does The BinaxNOW COVID-19 At-Home Test Expire?

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has authorized the extension of expiration dates for the BinaxNOW rapid antigen tests to be 12 months from the manufacture date. The extended expiration dates can be found in the charts provided by Abbott for the BinaxNOW Home tests. In order to find the new expiration date, you must identify the lot number on the test kit box.
