Physicians, prescribing medical professionals, or patients that can have their blood drawn by a
healthcare
professional.
You must complete a digital intake form. A doctor, nurse practitioner, or physician’s assistant will
contact you for a consultation. After the discussion, the provider may order an antibody test and or nasal
swab as medically necessary based on symptoms, risk factors, and the likelihood of exposure.
Upon infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the patient’s immune system tries to fight the virus by
producing
blood circulating molecules known as antibodies. IgM is a class of antibodies that appear 3-5 days after
infection.
Upon infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the patient’s immune system tries to fight the virus by
producing
blood circulating molecules known as antibodies. IgG is the second class of antibodies that appears around
21 days after infection.
No. If you order a test after your consultation, a mobile phlebotomist or nurse from a service provider
network will arrive to obtain your specimen. The nurse transports your sample to a CLIA certified lab with
CAP accreditation. A 3rd party laboratory determines testing processes and delivers medical results.

The strength of each person’s immune system varies. An individual may develop immune defense once they
develop IgG antibodies. We are not sure at this time as controlled tests and studies are limited.
Medical professionals complete the Antibodies IgG and IgM tests on the fully automated Diazyme DZ-Lite
3000
Plus chemiluminescence analyzer. Nurses conduct these tests under FDA guidelines in a CLIA Certified Lab.
The Diazyme serological test notification is on FDA’s website under “FAQs on Diagnostic Testing for
SARS-CoV-2.”
The antibodies could remain present in your system for a significant amount of time. However, the exact
time is not currently known.
Hydrate and avoid smoking, nicotine, and coffee, which could provide false positives or negatives. Shower
30 minutes before your appointment. Cover your face with protective gear, such as a mask. Finally, prepare
your identification to show your nurse.
We expect to get the results in 36-48 hours from when the lab receives the specimen.
Depending on the outcome of your test, your provider will call you or send you your results digitally.
Not at this time.
