POC COVID Testing

I am in the early stages of looking at bring COVID testing to our urgent and prompt care sites. Right now we have the SOFIA 2 instruments so we could add the antigen test but I am also looking at molecular testing. Does anyone use the Roche LIAT , Cepheid Xpert Xpress or Accula SARS? Any +/- on these? I have heard the Accula might need a BLS 2 hood.
I have also heard the LIAT is having false positive issues so the Cepheid seems like the best bet but the timing and cost might be hard to get over in a ambulatory setting. Thoughts?
Thanks,
Anastasia
