Description
Covid-19 has changed the global landscape, killed 4.55 million people worldwide, brought the supply industry to its knees, and infected 219 million people. It’s a frightening illness, and when a person thinks they may have it they want to be sure right away. That desire for instant results has led to the creation of at-home tests, and today SPH Medical provides several options including the AccessBio CareStart Covid-19 Antigen Test.
The AccessBio Covid-19 at-home test is designed to give results in just ten minutes. It’s an excellent option for patients who want to be tested but can’t find a test site near them, or don’t want to wait for results.
The test is FDA approved and is 95% accurate, which makes it better than its at-home competitors. The test works using a cutting-edge mixture of biochemistry and AI. It’s easy to use and was designed and created by a company that has proven itself to be reliable for the last 30 years. It can accurately detect all known Covid-19 variants, including the Delta variant.
The test is produced in the States, comes in a two-pack, and is available at factory-direct prices for medical professionals. It can be ordered in a mini drop-ship quantity which includes 4,640 packs, which breaks down to 9,280 tests. Over 500,000 tests are being produced per day in the state of New Jersey to ensure there will be an adequate number of tests available.
The Mobile App
This at-home test comes with access to an app that can walk patients through using the test and understanding the results they receive. The app will ask for certain information, such as where the patient lives and their unique health details, to help ensure they receive the most accurate information for them.
Each test comes with a QR code that can be used to quickly reach the app, so there’s no need for less tech-savvy patients to worry about downloading the right app from the app store.
FDA Response
The FDA authorized the use of this product as an emergency at-home testing option for three main reasons:
Covid-19 can be a serious life-threatening illness. It can contribute to other conditions including severe respiratory illness that could lead to hospitalization.
The FDA believes that the product may be effective in diagnosing Covid-19 and that the known benefits of the product outweigh the known risks.
At the time of approval, there was no known alternative to the emergency use of this at-home test.
Because of these findings, the FDA approved the use of this Covid-19 rapid test. It’s believed that this will help diagnose patients quickly, so they can begin isolating and taking other necessary precautions.
