to sell antigen testing instruments to labs or clinics. A fourth company, Abbott Laboratories, won approval to market a $5 rapid, credit card-sized test administered by a health care professional."If we’re talking about a screening device, the parameters don’t need to be the same as an ultimate diagnostic test," he said. "We hope the language would change and reflect what we’re creating, which is a screening tool for public health.
The effort to screen people without symptoms is monumental, said Stephen Tang, president and chief executive officer of OraSure Technologies.With labs stretched to their limits, the extra capacity must come from companies that make portable antigen tests. Large and small companies alike are working toward that goal.
The test must be administered by a healthcare professional such as a physician's assistant or a school nurse. An Abbott spokeswoman declined to say whether the company will seek FDA authorization to sell a home version. The agency also wants companies to conduct studies on how tests work on patients. The FDA recommends studies with at least 150 people, of which at least 30 people test positive for the virus.
Because nobody cares about a 99.9% survival rate.
I would love to have home test! Sooner the better.
