Important information about our finger-prick COVID-19 tests

Posted on 12 October 2020 by ExpressMedicals

We are delighted to let you know that our Assure COVID-19 IgG/IgM Rapid Test Device has now been endorsed by the US Food And Drug Administration (FDA) as their first approved rapid test device. It indicates recent or prior COVID-19 infection.

We’ve been using this test with dozens of clients during 2020, following it’s approval by the UK Government’s MHRA earlier this year.

These Point of Care tests help businesses to make faster, effective business critical decisions about employees’ health status. The finger-prick blood test device gives results in 15 minutes and are fully supported, with an online educational package developed with our partners at Imperial College and advice from doctors and our clinical team at Express Medicals.

“We are delighted with this additional FDA approval, which reinforces the increasing recognition of the value of serial finger-prick tests in COVID-19 testing programmes,” confirms Dr Dan Hegarty, CEO, Express Medicals Ltd.

These finger prick test kits are £40 each plus VAT and p&p and are available for delivery within 48 hours from time of order.

These kits are part of our wider COVID-19 testing programme which also includes the PCR swab testing kits.
