VISITECT (R) COVID-19 antigen test self-test submission
update
All supporting data and documentation now submitted to Omega's
European Notified Body
Omega (AIM: ODX), the medical diagnostics company focused on
CD4, infectious diseases and food sensitivity, announces that all
of the supporting data and documentation relating to its submission
for CE marking for self-test use for the VISITECT(R) COVID-19
antigen test have been filed with its European Notified Body. The
submission process has been running in parallel with the Useability
Study conducted by Ulster University since mid-July and the
conclusion of the Ulster study was the final step in this process.
The test is already CE marked for professional-use and once
approved would allow the test to be sold in Europe for home-use as
well.
As the global market for antigen testing develops, the Company
believes self-test approval will be a key requirement, as has
already been seen in the UK. The submission is already under review
by the Notified Body and the Company will provide a further update
on the process as it concludes.
Colin King, CEO of Omega, said: "As a result of a lot of hard
work by our team and Ulster University, we are very pleased to have
submitted all of the information required for self-test use
approval for our VISITECT(R) COVID-19 antigen test. Once approval
is granted, we anticipate strong demand for a UK developed and
manufactured product.
"Furthermore, we believe we have a high-quality,
high-performance product with significant global appeal, including
the US market, due to that market's size and high barriers to
entry. "
