The test has already obtained a CE mark, meaning it is available for professional use in the UK and EU and is open to commercial distributors.
Omega stated that it is on track to produce 100,000 tests per week this month and is hoping to scale that up to 200,000 tests per week in October, while also having the ability to scale up further if UK demand exceeded 200,000 tests.
“We’re very pleased that the self-test usability study has completed and that we are progressing towards our goal of MHRA approval for self-test home use. We cannot give a timescale for when this might be achieved but we look forward to updating shareholders on further developments,” said Colin King, CEO of Omega Diagnostics.
