The manufater (Inverness medical) doesnt say what generation its, but after reading how the test works, it works like a 2nd generation test. an the rapid test are as good as any elisa for negative result.

If it's a rapid it does not go by generations, which refer to ELISA. Just do the test after the window period and you will be fine.
