Q23: What are the requirements, if any, for Avacta to have suitable technology (a smartphone app of some sort) alongside the LFT that records the results of the tests? If so, does this impact the rollout plan for the test?
There is no formal requirement at this time for the LFD test to have a reader or an associated smartphone app for it to work; the intention is that the test will be read by eye. However, there is likely to be additional benefit to the test working in conjunction with a smartphone app so that the result can be read objectively, communicated for track and trace purposes and so that a “passport” can be provided for a few days for those with a negative result, collectively creating an audit trail linking the test result generated by a certain test to a specific individual at a specific point in time. Avacta is working with partners and aims to have a smartphone app available at the time of launch to provide this additional functionality.
