Good afternoon,
Thanks for getting in touch about our AbC-19 test, please find details below and attached for your information.
I have been tasked by the UK-RTC government backed consortium consisting of - (Ciga Healthcare ltd, Abingdon Health, BBI Solutions & Omega Diagnostics) who have combined their diagnostic expertise to highlight the upcoming professional Abc-19 lateral flow test. Please find attached and below details in regard to this test.
Our test is simple to use as per our recent video detailing the procedure required - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqT2z8jCEHs
I have attached the IFU for your attention and below is the validated specifications as well. The UK-RTC is a Government backed consortium who have combined their diagnostic expertise to design this new test. The test has passed the stringent MHRA requirements to be awarded the CE mark for professional use only at this time.
Three production scale batches of the product have undergone validation and verification, with the devices showing sensitivity of 98.03% (95% confidence interval 95.03% to 99.46%) to test performance and specificity of 99.56% (95% confidence interval 98.40% to 99.95%).
These figures have been calculated following analysis of a total of 450 samples taken from individuals pre-September 2019 (negatives) and 203 patients who had symptoms of COVID19, or tested positive for COVID-19, and tested positive by a commercially available Antibody ELISA test (EuroImmunTM). Results are from analyses performed at the Ulster University and Abingdon Health laboratories.
If the population is assumed to have a 10% incidence of COVID19, the AbC-19TM Rapid test shows a 99.40% accuracy and is ready for high volume manufacture by the UK-RTC. Results in 20 minutes
We have the capabilities to manufacture 10 million tests within a 6 month timeframe. At this early stage we have had considerable interest regarding the AbC-19 rapid antibody test. I am now taking pre-orders for same. Price at present is £13/unit for orders under 1 million tests for orders over negotiations will be entered into.
Limited quantity available.
Estimated time for dispatch – end September beginning of October. Already in production.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Kind regards
Lyndsay
