However, Abbott's 5-13 minute fast test apparently has a (industry leading?) 84% false negative rate when samples are combined with certain virus transport media.

I don't think that is what the article says. I think it asys the false negative rate was (100 - 84.4), or 15.6%. Not great, but not as bad as an 84% false negative would be.
