RE: How many more clues do people need?28 Aug 2020 16:26
Listen to yourselves, panicking is an understatement. Why are people asking why has distribution started? It was clearly stated in the last Update RNS that the ABC-19 has passed Validation by the MHRA for professional use only, so of course it can be distributed to dentists and other Health care settings. Even if the test fails Validation for home use , it will still be used by Healthcare professionals.
This is a gold standard test which is as good as Validated already . The batches that have already been shipped out by Abingdon are fast running out as GP's and Dentists reopen. Testing will be ramped up in Health, Schools, and Airport settings. ABC-19 will be the gold test that will be used in these environments.
People are so focused on the home test Validation and have forgotten this test has already been Validated for Professional use. The govt have already sent out messages not to use any other test. ABC-19 will be the test used in the UK by health professionals. Don't worry this test is flying off the shelves as we speak, Abingdon wont be able to keep up. Demand will be high, and orders will start coming in for ODX to start production, and when it does, only then will we get an RNS. Just be patient and hold.
