I agree with ex ..gov must have some evidence of due diligence before purchasing tests in the first place ...in terms of does it meet the requirements eg specificity and sensitivity .
Good post poidster..robustness is a hugget expression. They have defined it in the case by
"that is that they failed to produce valid results at an acceptable rate"
"With the exception of Portsmouth, all laboratories had a more than 10% failure rate, with four laboratories experiencing greater than 25% invalid runs which would indicate, the experts said, that the Exsig COVID-19 test was not sufficiently robust."
This bit worries me because it suggests both experts agreed?
In which case our expert has done an own goal...as she has admitted an issue with test.
Do we know if the tests in the different labs were from same batches? Was the quality control where the tests were made ..robust?
