Although mologic may get MHRA approval how long from CE mark (when we get it) to Omega getting MHRA decision on visitect antigen?

Would it get fast tracked due to mologic or just another long wait?

Insider according to walbrook the Uk-RTC don’t need to tender for this due to previous framework..

Possibly Omega can tender for it with the visitect test?

The innova spec..

It found an overall sensitivity of 76.8%, but this rose to over 95% in individuals with high viral loads. The overall specificity of the test was reported as 99.68%, meaning a false positive rate of 0.32% (22/6967 tests.)

It was rolled out to find asymptomatic people originally .. which in a way That’s what it’s still going to do by testing teacher’s/pupils/NHS staff.. teachers have been offered twice weekly testing for 6 weeks..
(could contract end?)

They’ve spent over a billion pound on innova contract orders...

So I’d suggest around 150/200million innova LFT tests if price match’s talk of similar LFT..

I think the mass Antibody testing will come in time..
There’s too many tenders purchasing other antibody tests for them not to roll them out on a mass scale..

Yes it’s everywhere but as per usual

“ The community testing regime - expanded to cover all 317 local authorities - uses rapid lateral flow tests, which can return results in 30 minutes.”

30 min test suggests the innova test.. seems all NHS/now schools using the innova LFT.

Tech transfer has started.. Before Christmas so we’re aware.

There’s nothing that points to it being completed.

Although I’d expect an update within the next week/two regarding it.

Link regarding there antigen test.. there production currently 500k p/w.. ODX need to get antigen test Tech transferred and ce marked ASAP and get to market..

Surescreen also have a 20 min rapid antibody test too.

So the UK helping GAD to produce at cost? (Not for profit)? Is this for tests to be sent abroad or for uk gov?

“ To guarantee access to the rapid test in low- and middle-income countries, the COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test will be manufactured and made available by Global Access Diagnostics (GAD), at cost of production and distributed through commercialisation partners.”

That’s likely it being loaded in Spain... rather than being unloaded.

Not sure if linked to the vaccine yet..?

There’s talk it’s from the nov 2018 webinar that AH did. Unsure.

But looking at who’s posted it/no proof it’s ever
So likely.

Although this is on the gov website (yesterday) mentions antibody testing/repeat testing.

5 January 2021
Updated 'Testing for coronavirus: privacy information – quick read' and 'Testing for coronavirus: privacy information'. In both documents, under 'What personal data we collect', added: 'vaccination status'; under 'Purposes your data will be used for', added: 'sharing your vaccination status with Public Health England (if you live in England) to understand the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines, including their effectiveness against different strains of the COVID-19 virus, and, where appropriate, to ask you to do a repeat test and/or an antibody test'.

Till we get proof it’s regarding the ABC-19 test and dates.. I’d hang fire AH validate many products.. and seeing his previous posts on Twitter he’s a mass ramper..

So like I say many have asked for the link and nothing yet..

Be intresting to find it on the AH website as I couldn’t after a quick look...

Possibly also worth an email to walbrook? If no reply from the above possibly he can find out.

This is likely to be talking regarding the RTC test.

“ The finger prick antibody test (lateral flow test) is currently being verified in Wales to make sure it performs well. It is anticipated that this work will be completed shortly. There is also work ongoing to decide if this type of test could be suitable for use at home. We will provide more detail on the development of this type of test as work progresses.

We will also continue to work closely with Public Health Wales, Life Sciences Hub Wales and the private sector to look at all options for testing for antibodies and to scan the market for new tests.”
