The EUA authorizes CRL to use the OMNIgene®·ORAL device with CRL Rapid Response™, its saliva-based SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR test that can be self-collected at home, work or any other setting, when COVID-19 infection is suspected by a healthcare provider. The saliva sample would be collected with the OMNIgene·ORAL (OM-505) saliva collection device, which is specifically designed for self-collection, stabilization, storage and shipment of samples to the laboratory. The OMNIgene·ORAL device offers improvements over the standard nasopharyngeal swab because virtually anyone can collect a saliva sample at home with no discomfort and return it to the lab for processing, allowing personnel and protective equipment to be saved for when they are most needed.
“As many companies begin the delicate task of lifting stay-at-home orders and allowing businesses to reopen, testing will help keep people safe and help get the economy back up and running,” said Robert Thompson, CEO of Clinical Reference Laboratory. “The DNA Genotek OMNIgene·ORAL device was the ideal choice for our CRL Rapid Response test as our studies demonstrated it to be more sensitive and accurate than the standard COVID-19 anterior nasal swab test.”
“This EUA highlights the benefits of saliva collected with OMNIgene·ORAL as a sample type for COVID-19 diagnostics in the CRL Rapid Response test kit, due to its performance as well as its safe and easy to use format, suitable for unsupervised home collection,” said Kathleen Weber, Executive Vice President, Business Unit Leader, Molecular Solutions at DNA Genotek. “A global challenge like coronavirus requires the commitment and cooperation of everyone who has the ability to help address it. We are pleased to support CRL in their work in expanding the availability of COVID-19 diagnostics.”
