First off, the Lansion 100/100 kit. I couldn't find it on the Chinese language version on the site. No figures or documentation on the English site either. Red flag. Their non-reader kit states that it's intended for use within 7 days of onset of symptoms. Junk.
Here they are listed at only 95% sensitivity and 98% specificity.
https://covid-19-diagnostics.jrc.ec.europa.eu/devices/detail/1648Philippine FDA issued a caution about performance.
In the interest of protecting public health and safety, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) hereby provides the lists of companies with issued Special Certificate and failed performance validation conducted by the RITM as of 13 September 2021https://www.fda.gov.ph/fda-advisory-no-2021-2454-caution-on-the-purchase-and-use-of-certain-covid-19-test-kits-following-the-performance-validation-conducted-by-the-ritm/Second Chinese Getein 98.5/99.4 kit. No figures, no documentation again. Same figures on EU site. Can't find real-world data. Can't trust it either.
Third Canadian Laipac 97.4/98.3 kit. Documentation on site. Small clinical trial (95). Smartphone-based, has an app. Has a version 2 with a 5-slot reader claiming 500 per hour. 5-8 minute detection or 30 seconds on 'speed mode' (inaccurate?). It provides 97.4% sensitivity and 98.3% specificity for the
SARS-CoV-2 virus detection in the first 8 days of symptom onset.Competition from tests featuring our specific attributes seems sparse from this quick bit of digging. I'm sure there are more out there, it's just a ton of stuff to sift through if not using an external database. The EU one is inadequate as it doesn't have an option to filter reader-based for example.
