" 09/01/2021 - "Evaluating the Sensitivity and Specificity of Siemens Clinitest Lateral Flow Test and the Simple AMplification-Based Assay (SAMBA)-2 PCR Test for SARS-CoV-2 Infection." 01/01/2022 - "In this study, we evaluated the diagnostic performance of six different commercial rapid antigen tests (Coronavirus antigen [Ag] rapid test cassette [Healgen Scientific, Houston, TX, USA], COVID-19 Ag FIA [Vircell, SD Biosensor Inc., Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea], Clinitest rapid COVID-19 antigen test [Siemens, Healthineers, Erlangen, Germany], SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen test [SD Biosensor; Roche Diagnostics, Basel, Switzerland], Panbio COVID-19 Ag rapid test device [Abbott, Chicago, IL, USA], and SARS-CoV-2 test [MonLab, Barcelona, Spain]) in 130 nasopharyngeal swab samples tested previously by RT-PCR. " 10/01/2021 - "The objective of this study was to determine the performance of the Clinitest Rapid COVID-19 Antigen Test (ClinitestRT) (SIEMENS) for SARS-CoV-2 in nasopharyngeal swab specimens. " 01/01/2022 - "The highest sensitivity was observed for CLINITEST Rapid COVID-19 Antigen Test, and Roche SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen test. "
2.	Critical Illness (Critically Ill) 07/01/1980 - "Use of Clinitest urine test for indirect estimation of blood glucose levels in the critically ill." 07/01/1980 - "The use of the Clinitest urine glucose test as an indirect way to monitor and control blood glucose levels in critically ill patients was studied. " 07/01/1980 - "The study indicates that both Clinitest error and a variable relationship between arterial and urine glucose concentrations make the use of Clinitest as the sole monitor and basis for controlling blood glucose levels in critically ill patients as unsatisfactory and potentially dangerous procedure."

4.	Glycosuria 05/01/1979 - "The 2-drop Clinitest method detects glycosuria up to 5% without significant loss of accuracy and is recommended in preference to the 5-drop method." 06/20/1953 - "Tests for glycosuria; a comparison of Benedict's test, clinitest, and glucotest." 06/01/1975 - "The widened scale of Clinitest 2/10 permits the detection and satisfactory estimation of glycosuria ranging from 0,25% to 5%; it is specially suitable for monitoring the labile insulin dependent diabetes of children or adolescents. " 01/01/1984 - "Because the Clinitest-penicillin interaction is unpredictable, Clinitest results should be rechecked using one of the qualitative glucose oxidase tests when Clinitest is used as a quantitative test for glycosuria in patients receiving penicillins. " 09/01/1981 - "If Clinitest is used as a quantitative test for glycosuria in patients receiving penicillins, the results should be rechecked using a qualitative method such as the glucose oxidase tests, Diastix or TesTape.
