BELTSVILLE, Md., April 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- P4 Diagnostix®
Network has announced they have submitted their LDT for COVID-19
(SARS-CoV-2) based upon the FDA EUA approved ThermoFisher TaqPath
RT-PCR COVID-19 Combo Kit.
P4 is preparing for the expansion of services as supplies are
made available and new instrumentation is given emergency use
approval. They are already federally compliant with government
testing as part of their ongoing laboratory services.
"We realize how devastating this virus has been and are doing
everything we can to help our communities during this unprecedented
situation," said Chiraag Patel M.D.,
M.B.A., FCAP, the Medical Director of P4 Diagnostix's molecular
genetics laboratory.
Physicians will be able to order COVID-19 testing as a
diagnostic test for patients who present with symptoms suggestive
of COVID-19, and as a screening test for asymptomatic patients who
may have been exposed to the virus. Testing will be performed at
P4's molecular genetics laboratory in Pine Brook, NJ.
"One of the most effective tactics for preventing the spread of
coronavirus is molecular testing," says Dr. Patel. "Our labs are
uniquely qualified to do so. We felt it was a moral obligation to
begin testing for COVID-19 while at the same time taking care of
our employees during this period of uncertainty."
In addition to their laboratories in New York, New
Jersey, Virginia,
Indiana, Arizona and Maryland, P4 has a partnership with VitalAxis,
Inc., an innovative cloud-based healthcare IT product and services
company that serves more than 5,000 urologists, 10,000 physicians
and 100,000 end users.
