Flowflex LFTs - more accurate than the throat ones?

[ilovewinterpansies]

Just that really.

Are the flow-flex nasal tests much more accurate than previous throat and nasal swab versions?

I have 2 friends who tested negative with the nasal test but who both tested positive on PCR (tested after contact with positive case).

I asked specifically which ones they’d used as I was interested to see if the nasal were more accurate as all I can get hold of is the old style.

If anything I would have thought they'd be less accurate as you are only doing the nose (I believe they changed it to make it more acceptable). I presume they've done tests to show they are equivalent though.
