What is the price of CoviSelf?
The name 'CoviSelf', the first Covid-19 home test kit, priced at ₹ 250, was developed by Mylab Discovery Solutions, Pune, and will hit the market in a few days.
The self-assessment kit can be used by any people with symptoms, or immediate contact of certified cases such as ICMR guidelines, and they can self-diagnose, isolate and receive immediate treatment.
How long does the test take?
It takes 2 minutes to test and 15 minutes high to get the result. Consent tests will take about five to seven minutes. The side effect will take about 15 minutes.
"As this eliminates the need for sample collection by a health care professional, it will significantly reduce the pressure on heavy laboratory labs, without reducing the delay of test results, which is more than 72 hours in other parts of the country," Rawal said.
How to use the CoviSelf COVID-19 home test kit:
ICMR said the procedure should be performed in accordance with the manufacturer's manual.
Each kit will be provided with all test material, IFU usage instructions, and a biohazard bag to dispose of it safely after testing. The test is designed to be performed using a nasal swab (not a deep nasopharyngeal swab) to reduce discomfort.
Rawal said each kit will have the necessary test kits, instructions for using the tract and a biohazard bag to dispose of it safely after testing. Tests were performed using a nasal swab compared to a deep nasabaryaryal swab to reduce user discomfort.
