To be clear, the BinaxNOW™ COVID-19 Ag Test Card EUA has not been FDA cleared or approved for broad consumer use. A day after Abbott received this emergency FDA approval of its 15-minute COVID-19 test, HHS has awarded it a $760 million contract to produce 150 million tests, the department said this week. The HHS said the tests may be deployed to schools and other "special needs" populations. Healthcare providers using Abbott's test will swab a patient's nose, transfer the sample to a test card. Results become available In just 15 minutes with no instrumentation, using proven lateral flow technology with demonstrated sensitivity of 97.1% and specificity of 98.5% in clinical study. Abbott says they will ship tens of millions of tests in September, ramping to 50 million tests a month at the beginning of October. https://abbott.mediaroom.com/2020-08-26-Abbotts-Fast-5-15-Minute-Easy-to-Use-COVID-19-Antigen-Test-Receives-FDA-Emergency-Use-Authorization-Mobile-App-Displays-Test-Results-to-Help-Our-Return-to-Daily-Life-Ramping-Production-to-50-Million-Tests-a-Month https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/supply-chain/us-awards-abbott-760m-contract-for-rapid-covid-19-tests.html Health Unchained Links Website: https://healthunchained.org Telegram: t.me/healthunchained Twitter: twitter.com/Healthunchaind Bert’s Blockchain and Healthcare Weekly Newsletter: https://bert.substack.com/
