12 August 2020 - 3:00PM
Datametrex AI Limited (the "Company" or "Datametrex")
(TSXV: DM, FSE: D4G, OTC: DTMXF) is pleased to announce
that it has secured rights to sell and distribute South Korean
manufacturer PCL, Inc.’s (
“PCL”) COV05 COVID19
Rapid Antigen Detection Kits. These test kits are suitable for
point of care tests. No extra equipment is needed. They are easy to
use with over 97% accuracy, and results are available in 5 to 10
minutes.
The Antigen Rapid Diagnosis Kit developed by PCL
is a method of fluorescently measuring the presence of a COVID-19
infection. It is an in-vitro diagnostic medicaldevice to detect the
SARS-CoV-2 antigen from a person’s oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal
secretions if the specimen contains antigens to SARS-CoV-2, a
colored line appears in the T line area.

"According to the manufacturer, PCL, this test
can detect antigens of COVID-19 from a swab in the nose or throat
and provide results in 10 minutes with over 97% accuracy," said
Marshall Gunter, CEO of Datametrex. “These almost-instant kits can
be easily used at home. With the rise of cases in the United States
and throughout the world, we at Datametrex believes it is critical
to test and protect.”
PCL states that the clinical sensitivity
(confirmed the actual positive of the approved person) is 100% and
the clinical specificity (confirmed the actual negative of the
negative person) is 97.78%. Early detection using rapid tests will
also provide further protection to Canada’s front-line workers,
especially health care professionals.
The following certifications have been awarded
to these PCL Antigen Test Kits: CE Certificate, Korea FDA, FIND
Listed, UNGM Supplier. Countries includes the EU, 2 countries in
the Middle East- Qatar and UAE, India, Russia, 3 countries in Latin
America- Guatemala, Ecuador, and Colombia.
The PCL Antigen Detection kit has the CE
Certificate meaning that the manufacturer and
products have met EU declaration of standards for health, safety,
and environmental protection, allowing this product to be sold
within the 22 countries in the European Economic Area.
Worldwide, currently there have been over 19.7M
people who have been tested positive for COVID-19 but the actual
case count is believed to be higher, as a significant number of
asymptomatic people may not have been tested. Even more worrying is
that most families have had to wait more than 72 hours for their
test results to come back from both public and private labs
increasing the possibility of spreading the virus.
Rapid Diagnosis Kit is easy when there are no
symptoms even after COVID-19 infection, or when 'positive' and
'negative' are not evident in tests such as RT-PCR. When an
infection occurs, an antigen against COVID-19 is formed in the body
after some time, so it is a post-test that is essential as a
preventive measure.
The Company is not making any express or implied
claims that its product has the ability to eliminate, cure or
contain the COVID-19 (or SARS-2 Coronavirus) at this time. Health
Canada must approve these COVID-19 test kits before they can be
used in Canada. The Company plans to sell these kits in all
countries where the kits have been approved for sale.
