Quote: DHM "Yes, they are claiming 100% sensitivity - rate of detection of true positives - and 98.8 specificity - rate of correct identification of true negatives (sorry- don't mean to be nit picky). However, looks like they only submitted data for 29 covid positive samples for the FDA EUA. Surprisingly getting hold of positive samples has been a really big issue. I believe that the NHS was not collecting and storing blood samples from positive patients.
It had better work because their CEO has been publicly bad mouthing the other tests on the market (he's not wrong though).
I can't say too much but there are other options. I also have doubts that Roche would be allowed to use it for general population "screening".'"
Fine to ‘not pick’ it’s important stuff and imperative to get it right!
