The Strep A antigen home test is a rapid immunochromatographic test that can detect Group A Streptococcus antigens (which cause, for example, angina) from a human throat swab. The test is an in-vitro diagnostic device intended to assist in the diagnosis of Strep A infection in patients suffering from inflammatory symptoms. The Strep A antigen home test is specifically intended for home use.

Beta-hemolytic Group A Streptococcus is a common cause of upper respiratory tract infections. The test is intended for patients presenting with typical symptoms. These symptoms may include non-invasive diseases such as sore throat, impetigo, or scarlet fever, as well as invasive diseases such as pneumonia, necrotizing fasciitis, cellulitis, streptococcal toxic shock syndrome, bacteremia, puerperal sepsis (childbed fever), non-suppurative sequelae, acute rheumatic fever, and streptococcal glomerulonephritis.

Early diagnosis and treatment of Group A streptococcal pharyngitis have been shown to reduce the severity of symptoms and prevent potential complications such as rheumatic fever and glomerulonephritis.
