Medical take a patient's coronavirus test during a trial run for a new FEMA drive-thru coronavirus testing clinic at CVS at 720 Boston Turnpike in Shrewsbury, MA on March 19, 2020.Cepheid has received emergency authorization from the Food and Drug Administration to use its rapid molecular test for point-of-care patients that can detect coronavirus in 45 minutes.
This is the first coronavirus that can be conducted entirely at the point of care for patients and deliver results in less than an hour.Diagnostics company Cepheid on Saturday said it has received emergency authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to use its rapid molecular test for point-of-care patients that can detect the virus that causes COVID-19 in 45 minutes.
This is the first coronavirus test that can be conducted entirely at the point-of-care for patients and deliver results in less than an hour. Typically, tests are sent to central reference labs that can takeThe test, called SAR-CoV-2 Xpert Xpress, was developed by Cepheid, a Sunnyvale, California, company was designed to detect SARS-CoV-2, the virus that is causing COVID-19.
Cepheid uses a testing machine called GeneXpert that can run a full test in 45 minutes. There are currently more than 23,000 automated GeneXpert systems worldwide, with nearly 5,000 of them in the U.S., Cepheid said in a statement."During this time of increased demand for hospital services, clinicians urgently need an on-demand diagnostic test for real-time management of patients being evaluated for admission to health-care facilities.
Cepheid President Warren Kocmond added that its automated systems "do not require users to have specialty training" to perform the tests.
It took so long to get their bullshit lies straight, thats what took so long.
What took so long you ask? It's probably all bullshit. Fear porn for tbe viewers. This has been out since November....the gloves and masks are 4 months too late as well as your little fake tests.
DHR backing up the truck
In Washington today?
You would imagine they had everything in place.. since the us was so prepared
The test I took at my primary care doctor he said results would take 5 days so I’m waiting sitting here on house arrest for 14 days anyway
If it’s so contagious why ram a swab 4 inches into the nasal cavity? Why not swab the tongues and go? If they detect it on plastic for 24hrs then why the violent nasal swab?
Did they even have a choice?
junebug1918 It's all about population control. Goebbels and Himmler would be soooo proud. No mention of Hillary's 400 million dollars and the roll it played in my son's death.
That sounds great
Huge thanks & Namaste Mr.Trump & team for this historical invention inorder to not only save the lives of America but lives of the world. 😀🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😀
Investors boys & gals $DHR GL!
YOU PEOPLE THAT THINK EVERYTHING SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE LAST YEAR, ARE NUTS! WE'RE LUCKY ENOUGH, JUST TO HAVE PRESIDENT TRUMP! HE, VOLUNTEERED!
Diasorin Molecular test gets results in a few minutes and it's already available
Seems to me that every test should be considered an “emergency use”. The honor system of self quarantine is the reason it spreads.
Sorry to say that we have 15 minutes coronavirus test in China. TrumpLiedPeopleDied
amandablount2 About damn time.
While SK can do it in 5 mins 😎😂
Does anyone know if it actually works?
Except in S. Korea their free accurate stay in your car tests only take 10 minutes.
This is misleading. It's not like a flu or strep test. It was developed for use with their analyzers. And they're not cheap. We just got a small one in our lab. $32,000 and we can only run 4 tests concurrently.
Great! Once we have a test that will tell us who does & does not have the virus, hopefully we can return to normal life, and these poor people can return back to WORK.
If the fda wouldn't have blocked testing for months to begin with, we might not be in this mess
Gosh I'm so sick of all the negative doom and gloom comments. Get a life folks. Get a new perspective. There's hope out there and it's better than what you all are spewing. Geez. 🙄
RE: coronavirus test that can deliver results in 45 minutes. COMMENT: 45 minutes or less or your virus is free! pizza pizzadelivery covid19 disease covid19test
This is good news. Great for earlier treatment 😊
$aytu is available
Let us know if normal people have access to these , or just NBA players?
jadescipioni That’s great, but Denver was recently authorized by fda to use AytuBioscience 2-10 minute test that only requires a finger prick. It’s the same test China and Korea used to contain the virus more effectively. I don’t get why that’s not headline news 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you President Trump. You are on top of this.
Hope it helps people.ill never put that poison in my body
Meanwhile, South Korea can have test results back in 7 minutes...
jadescipioni The second key point, at CNBC site, is missing the word “test”, hence conveying a weird message. Typo apart, this is. Great News.
Libs are Nuts! How about nice job Trump....
How accurate are the tests? Does anyone even know?
Let’s get this thing rolling now, everyone can get to going at each other’s throats later. Lives are at risk!!!
45
MarcALevin WVGovernor wvsenate why do we not gave these realDonaldTrump
Korea has a 7minute test.
As long as we ALL can get access to it when we need it...yes this could be a game changer.
The test was waiting approval. Cepheid is part of Danaher Corp. (DHR)
How big of them.
45 is a good number. Should surely make things better WWG1WGA
How many tests can each device run at one time? And do they have to be run in batches or can they be run individually?
Exactly, you knuckleheads have known about this virus since January and you’re just putting a plan in place? Omg this is a tragedy!!!
very important work! Thank you to the scientists working on the solutions.
Thanks to our presindente . we love to Minster realDonaldTrump
About fuckin’ time the communist do something! I feel like people should go to prison
Good, now we just need to buckle down for a few more weeks, then coronavirus carriers can be traced, isolated, and provided with treatment if possible.
To late for testing
Stop bashing Trump! He has been in office a little over 3 years and is doing an AMAZING job overhauling the leviathan and inefficient government he inherited. These problems are YOUR fault and the rest of the DO NOTHING Democrap bureaucratic swamp you voted for😡 Trump2020
Media- it’s not tested properly, may not work, uncertain... jokers leftards
Imagine needing permission to use a test
Thank you Lord
Lis_aLouu celliottability fordnation jkenney stephenharper
March 30th? Virus might be gone by then :)
Trump COULD compel Cepheid to produce these things AT COST. Also compel Cepheid to contract with other companies to make more & faster. He just needs to invoke the Defense Production Act. BUT HE WON'T. The health of Cepheid stock is far more important than the health of millions.
RackMada
The FDA are turdburglars
Hospitals can't even get regular testing, where are the damn tests?
When?
In a month or two...
This is a game changer.
Another I just understand. What is the difference if you test positive or not
Let’s hope so our healthcare workers know what they are caring for
Great news
Fantastic! Trump Team saving America!
So if you have symptoms but are otherwise healthy and have been practicing social distancing do you think you should get tested? There is a right answer and it does not come from the media. should be our only reliable source of info
God is great 🙏🏾
If this administration had any brains at all, it would have made sure Trump himself made this announcement
grossdm Wait. I read that the official test is only like 70% accurate anyway. So what's this new test? A random number generator?
thankful_nana Thank you President Trump & Team - Well done, we love ya !!
Stop the bullshit, instead of bitching about it do something. Where were you all before this happened? We need this so try saying the pledge of allegiance and worry about the shit later. Let's help each other
Fantastic news!!!! Much needed in Healthcare system.
Diagnostics company Cepheid on Saturday said it has received emergency authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to use its rapid molecular test for point-of-care patients that can detect the virus that causes COVID-19 -- in 45 minutes.
RealSaavedra Transportation and bureaucracy slow down tests *much* more than the test itself. My advice to everyone: if you are feeling symptomatic, just cough on a politician, celebrity, or sports star and wait for THEIR test results to come in.
And we really want government in charge of our health with all the red tape and regulations they love to add? Yes insurance companies do it too but they shouldn't
RealSaavedra
Well isn’t that nice of the FDA! Why didn’t they do this 3 mths ago?
RealSaavedra FDA needs to be completely redone - remove excessive regulation and nonsense, reduce employees.
It took the FDA 40 days to issue the EUA.
RealSaavedra so they just going to take half our retirement savings and tell us to go back to work CoronavirusPandemic coronavirus WhenThisIsAllOver CoronaCrisis CoronaVirusUpdates
Finally a ray of light. Good job America.
Dear Minority leader , what took so f ing long?
grossdm Who is making money on it?
5K of these machines in US. Yup, not going to be fast enough.
Where are the tests coming from?
Some heads need to role or you guys need to cut out on all this red tape. Top heavy org. nonsense.
Why is everyone so excited about tests? If you test negative it doesn't mean you can't get it 10 minutes later. You only need a dr/hospital if you develop breathing problems.
Trump haters panic!
Was Pence doing this test this morning?
Does realDonaldTrump know?
It wont work just like the other tests that failed
Wtf took so long?
Is this for real? Who will get to use them?
One needs one of Cepheid's analyzers to run this tho'
