OPTEC
International, Inc. (OTC Pink: OPTI),
a developer of UV and UV-C safety products
using related advanced technologies specific to Personal Protection
Equipment (PPE), announced the company today received the
first shipment of FDA approved Antigen Home use Rapid Test Kits at
the OPTEC Vista, California distribution
center.
Due to a recent FDA
relaxation of the "emergency use" (EUA) rules applicable for Rapid
Test Kit use, most FDA/EUA approved Antigen and Antibody Test Kits
will soon be available for purchase by consumers and businesses,
both online and over the counter at affordable prices compared to
the current Medical facility/Pop-Up medical staff supervised
locations with 24–72-hour
results.
OPTEC CEO Roger
Pawson stated "We are fortunate to have received some of the first
FDA authorized 15 Minute Home Use Test kits for consumer and
business rapid testing with onsite results in 15 minutes or less.
We are anticipating having the kits available for order by
consumers on the company's website within the next
week."
OPTEC is providing
2 versions of the Nasal CoV-2 Antigen FDA EUA authorized 15-minute
rapid test kits. The kits are clinically proven to be reliable
and accurate (Clinical evaluation: Positive Percent Agreement
(PPA): 88.37% (95% CI: 75.52% – 94.93%), Negative Percent Agreement
(NPA): 100% (95% CI: 94.25% –
100%).
The Nasal swab
tests detect viral shedding of the RNA of the virus. Using the
Antigen Rapid Test Kits provides the ability for all necessary
resources to help keep the pandemic at bay for personal family
satisfaction, business employee monitoring, schools, senior care
centers, medical & dental facilities, government divisions and
