What are Sonictec Rapid Antigen Tests?
Sonictec Rapid Antigen Tests are easy-to-use diagnostic test kits designed to help detect some of the most common respiratory viruses quickly and conveniently. Suitable for home, workplace and healthcare settings, Sonictec's range includes COVID Test Kits, Influenza A/B combo tests, 4-in-1 Rapid Tests, and the latest 5-in-1 Rapid Tests, giving you the flexibility to choose the right test based on your needs.
Unlike traditional laboratory testing, rapid antigen tests provide results in as little as 10–20 minutes, helping you make informed decisions without the wait. Whether you've started feeling unwell, have been in close contact with someone who is sick, or simply want reassurance before travelling, returning to work, or visiting family and friends, rapid antigen tests offer a quick and convenient way to screen for common respiratory viruses.
A Complete Range of Respiratory Virus Tests
Sonictec's range of rapid antigen tests makes it easy to choose the level of testing that's right for you.
Whether you only need to test for COVID-19 or would prefer to screen for multiple respiratory viruses in one go, there's a Sonictec test to suit every situation.
- COVID Test Kits – Detect COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2).
- COVID & Influenza A/B Combo Tests – Detect COVID-19, Influenza A and Influenza B.
- 4-in-1 Rapid Tests – Detect COVID-19, Influenza A, Influenza B and RSV.
- 5-in-1 Rapid Tests – Detect COVID-19, Influenza A, Influenza B, RSV and Adenovirus.
As viruses such as COVID-19, influenza and RSV often cause similar symptoms—including fever, cough, sore throat, fatigue and congestion—it can be difficult to tell them apart based on symptoms alone. A combo rapid antigen test allows you to screen for multiple respiratory viruses with a single test, helping you make more informed decisions sooner.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a COVID test kit and a combo rapid antigen test?
A standard COVID Test Kit is designed to detect only SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). A combo rapid antigen test, on the other hand, can detect multiple respiratory viruses—such as Influenza A, Influenza B, RSV and Adenovirus—using a single nasal swab. Combo tests are particularly useful during cold and flu season, when different viruses often cause similar symptoms.
Why should I choose a combo rapid antigen test?
Many respiratory illnesses share similar symptoms, making it difficult to determine the cause based on symptoms alone. A combo rapid antigen test allows you to screen for multiple viruses with a single test, saving time and reducing the need to perform several separate tests.
How accurate are Sonictec's rapid antigen tests?
Sonictec Rapid Antigen Tests are designed to provide fast and reliable detection of respiratory viruses when used according to the Instructions for Use. All Sonictec tests are ARTG-listed and have been evaluated for their sensitivity (ability to correctly identify positive cases) and specificity (ability to correctly identify negative cases).
Performance varies slightly depending on the product and the virus being detected.

Can I use Sonictec Rapid Antigen Tests if I've recently developed symptoms?
Yes. The rapid tests are designed to help detect respiratory viruses during the early stages of illness. For the most reliable results, it's important to use the test within the recommended timeframe after symptoms begin.
The recommended testing windows are:
- COVID-19: Test within 7 days of symptom onset.
- Influenza A & Influenza B: Test within 4 days of symptom onset.
- RSV: Test within 4 days of symptom onset.
- Adenovirus (5-in-1 Rapid Test): Test within 7 days of symptom onset.
If your symptoms persist despite receiving a negative result, or if they become more severe, seek medical advice. A healthcare professional may recommend repeat testing or additional diagnostic testing depending on your symptoms and circumstances.
How do the tests work?
Sonictec Rapid Antigen Tests detect specific proteins (antigens) found on respiratory viruses such as COVID-19, Influenza A, Influenza B, RSV and Adenovirus, depending on the test selected. After collecting a nasal swab sample and following the test procedure, the test strip reacts to the presence of these viral antigens to indicate whether they have been detected.
Rapid antigen tests are generally most effective when the viral load is highest, which is often around the time symptoms first appear and during the early days of infection. This is why it's important to test within the recommended timeframe after symptom onset and to follow the Instructions for Use provided with your Sonictec test kit.
If you receive a negative result but continue to experience symptoms or your condition worsens, consider repeating the test according to the product instructions or seeking advice from a healthcare professional.
Are Sonictec rapid antigen tests easy to use?
Yes. All Sonictec Rapid Antigen Tests use a simple nasal swab sample and include clear, step-by-step instructions. They are designed for convenient home testing without requiring specialised equipment.
What sample type is required to do the test?
All Sonictec Rapid Antigen Tests use a nasal swab sample collected from the front of the nostrils. This method is quick, simple and more comfortable than deeper nasal swab collection methods used in some clinical settings.
What should I do if my rapid antigen test is positive?
If you receive a positive result, follow the current health advice applicable in your state or territory and take appropriate steps to help reduce the risk of spreading illness to others.
For most people with mild symptoms, getting plenty of rest, staying well hydrated, and managing symptoms at home are usually sufficient while your body recovers. You may also wish to avoid close contact with others, particularly those who are more vulnerable to respiratory infections, until you are feeling better.
However, seek prompt medical attention if you or the person being tested experiences any of the following:
- Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
- Persistent chest pain or pressure
- Confusion or difficulty staying awake
- Blue or pale lips, face or fingertips
- Symptoms that are severe, rapidly worsening, or do not improve over time
- Signs of dehydration, such as dizziness, extreme thirst, or passing very little urine
If you're unsure about your symptoms or whether further medical care is needed, contact your healthcare provider for advice.
What if my rapid antigen test is negative but I still have symptoms?
A negative rapid antigen test result does not always rule out infection. If you continue to experience symptoms, worsen, or remain concerned, consider seeking medical advice. In some situations, repeat testing or further assessment may be appropriate.
Can I use a rapid antigen test if I don't have symptoms?
Yes. Rapid antigen tests may also be used in situations where you want additional reassurance, such as before visiting family or friends, attending an event, travelling, or returning to work. Be sure to follow the Instructions for Use provided with your chosen Sonictec test.
Can children use the Sonictec rapid antigen tests?
Yes, Sonictec Rapid Antigen Tests may be used for children; however, children aged 2 to 15 years should have their nasal swab sample collected and the test performed by an adult. Adult supervision helps ensure the sample is collected correctly and that the test is carried out according to the Instructions for Use.
Sonictec Rapid Antigen Tests should not be used on children under 2 years of age.
As with all users, it's important to carefully follow the Instructions for Use provided with the test kit to help ensure the most reliable results.
How should I store my rapid antigen tests?
Store your Sonictec Rapid Antigen Tests according to the storage conditions specified on the product packaging or Instructions for Use. Avoid exposing the kits to excessive heat, cold or moisture, as improper storage may affect test performance.
Can I use a rapid antigen test after its expiry date?
No. Rapid antigen tests should not be used after the expiry date printed on the packaging. Using an expired test may affect the accuracy and reliability of the results.
