This pandemic has caused self-test kits to be essential items in a household.
Some test kits may not be very accurate and we’ve heard of many cases of false positives or negatives in our private circle.
Not only is inaccurate test kits a waste of money, but it also poses a certain danger when a Covid-19 positive person gets a negative self-test result.
It seems that the best test kit in the market right now is the ProDetect® COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test which is manufactured in Malaysia by Medical Innovation Ventures Sdn Bhd (Mediven®).
This test kit has obtained a 100% accuracy score by the External Quality Assessment Programme (EQAP) conducted by the European Society for external quality assessment (EsFEQA), reported BERNAMA.
This test kit is able to detect all variants of concern including delta and Omicron within 20 minutes.
Operations Director of Mediven, Dr Lim Li Sze said: “The COVID-19 rapid test serves as a valuable initial screening tool. As confirmed in the EQAP, our ProDetect® test kit retains its quality and consistency in providing a high level of accuracy.”
“As we see the cases rising by the day, it is crucial for early detection, isolation, and treatment of those infected and to prevent the further spread of COVID-19 infection.”
The test kits offered uses 2 types of samples, either saliva or nasal. So before you buy it, you will need to check it correctly.
The ProDetect® COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test can be found on the Medilabz website. Even though it is stated that it is currently out of stock, a representative from Medilabz told WORLD OF BUZZ they will be restocking next week (2nd week of March).
A representative from Mediven also told us that they are supplying the test kits to pharmacies such as Caring, Alpro, Georgetown Pharmacy, AM PM Pharmacy and even 7-11.
