I seriously want to hear absolutely nothing about anything other than the LFDs, it’s all the market cares about right now, address that, we have now been approved weeks and had over a year to line up deals for manufacturing and customers pending that approval, it’s business time.
Deal with that now, the other stuff will be a doddle with full coffers.
Unless Avacta get home use approval for their test then any orders are pretty much pointless, it is absolutely CRITICAL to the future of this company they get home use for this test. This is the vehicle that pays for all the cancer stuff, it’s as simple as that.
Another possibility is the government are playing silly buggers with this must pass PD, and not accepting the MHRA CE mark and our Spanish CE mark. I’m convinced there must be back handers going on with the Chinese, what other feasible explanation could they give.
Yes it’s incredibly poor that having taken over a year to get these approved for UK and EU markets that during this time orders weren’t teed up, Al stated start selling immediately, he HAS to announce orders on the 21st, no way can they have wasted a year not getting everything in place for this. The only thing I can think of is they really need the home use rubber stamped as pretty much all the tests will be self administered.
This is a post from another thread that I ticked up but is very pertinent to this one also and tackles a previous comment that a poster had said Avacta’s test wasn’t getting the same treatment as Mologic, well goes some way towards it anyway. There have been threads and rumours of PD not passing the Avacta test because they were using frozen samples rather than live…..anyway Timsters post
I'd say there is a very high chance it affects avacta, this is from the risk section of the annual report.
In order to participate in tender contracts offered by the UK Government, the AffiDX® SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Lateral Flow Test has to pass an evaluation process at the UK Government’s Porton Down facility. The first stage of the evaluation process does not use the lateral flow test in the manner that it was designed for and there is therefore uncertainty as to whether the test can pass the Porton Down evaluation process which could delay the ability to tender for government contracts. The Group is progressing the clinical validation and CE marking of the product so that sales channels (other than the UK Government) can be exploited regardless of any delays in obtaining UK Government approval or tenders.
I think the significance is Avacta are in bed with Mologic and I suspect our test is also being rejected by PD for the very same reasons and the joint Uber test between Mologic/Avacta has now F**kin zero chance of being the sovereign test. The sooner Al announces EU orders the better, I only see the SP going one way until he does.
I think it’s absolutely critical that home use approval is granted across all regions for this to be used en mass, 99% of the market will be self administered testing.
I can’t imagine it will be a problem with Innova having been granted this ‘use’ seemingly across the world, for a much harder to administer test. The FDA have now banned Innova and suggested people throw them in the bin so really hope Avacta can step in to that space, the only obstacle I believe being able to manufacture enough.
I think it’s absolutely imperative that the test in both the UK and Europe is given home use status, the whole point of these things is they can be used anywhere by anybody, unless that is achieved I think they are in hot water tbh
I thought it was just the saliva test that didn’t get through PD, anyway we got through clinical validation then CE and then approval.
I’d be surprised if they would hold it for that as within government guidelines also is the test must be AN which Innova isn’t but they seem to have let that slip through the net. The biggest fish they let slip of course is the bloody things don’t work!!
I would say that with the MHRA having granted emergency home use to Innovas test, and MHRA having just approved Avacta’s test they are incumbent to grant the same to Avacta’s it being easier to administer, faster and more importantly miles more accurate.
People are only thinking immediately meant the same as it does in every other aspect of life, Al continually states timelines in vague terms that only through his lack of meeting the English meaning of coming soon, coming days, immediately do you expect everything to be painfully slow. Telling people to sell up who are probably like me been in this share well over 16 months now is ridiculous, people haven’t held on this long waking up for over a year at 7am to miss out on the inevitable rerate when these immediate orders land.
You don’t queue up at venues and do a 20 minute test ffs
You do it at home and get a 24/48 hour Covid passport sent to your phone that you simply scan as you enter the venue as you cant be infectious in the initial period of catching it so doesn’t matter .l a toss if you catch on the train on the way.
Seriously do people really think you stand in line with 40000 people spreading the virus
