IMO two months should provide just enough time to clear the current stock of Innova LFTs. At that point, either Innova is CE marked, or the tests will be replaced with something else... Agree Malpenn, this is good news.

Worth noting it has only been extended to the 28th August though.

-_-

What timeline has your friend alluded to?

Agree though, would like to see some concrete numbers / orders instead of "shortly" etc. Personally, I don't think we'll have to wait too long now though.

"Doesnt matter what kind of test antibody or antigen", these are two completely different products, with completely different use cases.

This thread, referencing Mologic and Avacta provides some great insight into the issues at Porton Down, definitely worth reading.

I am currently writing an email to her, but encourage others do the same.

Well the website is still down... The chances they received a renewed contract with the UKGOV have to pretty damn slim now. This certainly puts AVCT is a far stronger position at the negotiating table should they choose to work with the UKGOV.

Surely they'll be facing major lawsuits? I'm not sure they can just "pack it up"?

The Innova YouTube channel has been completely removed. They have deleted and or made private all videos on the channel which I can no longer find. Furthermore, their website, https://innovamedgroup.com/ , is also offline and provides the message, "Sorry, we're doing some work on the site" when trying to access.

Having worked in PR in the past, this is beyond textbook crisis communication tactics. This suggests, in my opinion, that the FDA announcement has rattled them as they're now curbing their public image online and likely removing previously damming content from their website.

On their YouTube channel, and likely their website also, they were inaccurately publicly marketing their test as Anterior Nasal, even though the validation of the test was conducted using nasopharyngeal sampling methods. Evidence of this can be found here, https://twitter.com/imfreffy/status/1386630993109528578?s=20 , where a number of us were discussing their inaccurate marketing of the test.

This decision by Innova shows us that they are certainly feeling the pressure of this recent FDA warning and recall even though they are yet to publicly comment. These actions are not minor and are certainly telling, Innova are worried.

Great point Radiagreen, certainly I'd say our negotiating position has strengthened in light of recent events

SONA are down 65% today after the news that they’ve discontinued clinical trials for their C19 antigen saliva test.

I know it’s taken us a while, but at least the damn thing works, and it’s best in class! Bring on the contracts, congratulations all!

Great work, fingers crossed they’ll cover this. The chances are far higher now the FDA are involved!

Well multiben, it’s a possibility, someone/ something caused them to take a more in-depth look. The real question now is how the UK gov will respond..?

Great stuff!

IMO the Chinese knew it was v bad long before openly admitting so.
