Therma Bright Provides
Update for its AcuVid™ COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Saliva
Test
Toronto, Ontario,
Canada -- October 4, 2021 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Therma Bright
Inc. (TSXV: THRM) ("Therma" or the "Company"), a progressive
medical device technology company and developer of the AcuVid™
Covid-19 Rapid Antigen Saliva Test, provides the following update
for its AcuVidTM Covid-19 Rapid
Saliva Antigen
Test.
-
Therma Bright filed
its application for EUA approval to market its
AcuVid™ Covid-19 Rapid Antigen Saliva Test with the US FDA
on as previously reported on July 22nd and September
1st, 2021. Therma continues
to monitor and interact with the
US FDA as necessary regarding our active
submission.
-
Therma Bright has ordered sufficient materials and
components to manufacture the first batch of
AcuVid™ tests in the US. At the same
time, Therma is securing multiple manufacturing sites in different
countries to be able to meet the anticipated demand for our test in
the US and
elsewhere.
-
Therma is identifying
and negotiating with potential customers in various jurisdictions
to secure initial orders pending regulatory
approval.
-
In September the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) stated that they expect shortages of rapid tests
as demand increases. The CDC, and other bodies,
recommend serial testing using rapid antigen tests at least once
per week, along with other mitigation measures, such as masking and
social distancing, to reduce disease transmission, especially in
congregant settings such as workplaces, schools and large
events.
-
Therma is currently
identifying sites to perform trials on the
AcuVid™ test for home use applications. The results from
these trials will be used to file for approval to market the
AcuVid™ Covid-19 Rapid Antigen Saliva Test for home use by
non-healthcare professionals. This should greatly expand the market
for our test. Once a site is identified, Therma expects to
report back to shareholders on the expected date to complete the
home use clinical
study.
Rob Fia, CEO of Therma Bright, commented, "We
continue to build manufacturing capacity for our test in
anticipation of approval so that we can meet the expected huge
demand for rapid testing. Our saliva-based test is easier to use
and less intrusive than nasal swab-based tests and is ideally
suited for rapid testing for all
subjects."
Therma Bright is not making any express or implied
claims that its test product has the ability to eliminate or cure
COVID-19 or the SARS-CoV-2
virus.
