We've used more than 10 of them and have never had a failure. But there is a non-zer

chance of failure of some kind. So, you should at least have a backup plan (not necessarily a backup one of these tests).

This applies to any test. For example, we were supposed to go for a 1hr results PCR test this AM. We had appointments all set up on Friday. We go there and were told that the place no longer offers that service. So, we had to find an alternative that will allow us to travel tomorrow.
