KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Another Covid-19 self-test kit has received conditional approval from the Health Ministry through the Medical Devices Authority (MDA) for sale to the public.

Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah in a Facebook post Thursday said the latest kit was the “Beright Covid-19 Antigen Rapid Test Device ” made by Hangzhou Alltest Biotech Co. Ltd.

Meanwhile, according to the MDA’s portal, the test kit could be supplied by registered pharmacists or private healthcare facilities. "The use of Covid-19 self-test kits shall be limited for screening purposes only, and all test results need further confirmation using RT-PCR,” it said. Previously, two kits - namely the Salixium Covid-19 Rapid Antigen Rapid Test made by Reszon Diagnostic International Sdn Bhd and Gmate Covid-19 Ag Saliva For Home Use by Philosys Co. Ltd, Korea - were given conditional approval to be distributed locally.

The list will be updated from time to time, and it can also be checked through the MDA portal. - Bernama
