India coronavirus: Rapid testing paused over China kit issues

[Nan Yang]

Quote

A recent study by Danish scientists found that three out of four Chinese test kits had a 90 per cent accuracy rate in detecting
Covid-19
.
In their findings, which were published on the preprint website Medrxiv.org on April 10, meaning they have yet to be peer-reviewed, the researchers said that the study was based on samples taken from people infected with the coronavirus who had been admitted to the intensive care unit at North Zealand Hospital in Hillerod.

The three Chinese subjects – an antibody test known as an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and two point-of-care tests – also had a 100 per cent accuracy rate in detecting patients who did not have the Covid-19 virus, the report said.

pretty sure trained docs can take the sample and put the sample in solution and check after few hours if it’s negative or positive...

Pretty sure the Czech,Spanish, turkey have a better medical system then India,if even they acknowledged their lacking,then there are high chances that india didn't fare much better.
Also Indian media is zealously looking for anything to berate china ,it's highly unlikely that chinese test kits which are approved by the gov are in any way inferior . China has way more experience in manufacturing and more competent workforce in this field.

Indian doctors? How many Indian doctors are we talking about here ? Does one or two reports make a representation of "indian doctors" ?.
Tell when Indian Health Ministry reiterates that! Than it would mean spomething ,other wise it's just Indian media being Indian media.

Then,is it actually the doctors that conduct the test? Or some lab workers?

ICMR has officially asked to stop using 500k chinese rapid kits

Made in China, eh? Why I am not surprised.

Trillion > billion [emoji19]

1.3 billion Indians, 8.9 trillions of whom are illiterate, with the ability to mistake Jupiter as Chinese fighter jet or bomb their own docked submarine to the bottom of the ocean, I fear they can manage to misread the user manual on the test kit too. May cows have mercy on them

Problem is its not just Indian. Your tests and equipment failed EVERYWHERE. China Quality. Makes me wonder how well your weapons will work.

Stick to the topic. Please avoid unnecessary abuse toward China & India

No,ICMR initially said they will conduct field investigation for two days and then decide if they will call for replacement.
ICMR never said the Chinese rapid test kits were faulty.

The chances are indian lab workers don't knew the full procedures or were not up to the task ,since ICMR recently said: “ln view of this, states are advised to follow the prescribed protocol for these tests and use them for the purposes for which they are meant."- clearly indicating the indian lab workers fked it up.

ICMR also reiterated the prescribed protocol that
“ the tests are to be used only as a surveillance tool for Covid-19".- Basically warned against use of RTKs as primary mean for virus detection.

“These test results are also dependent on field conditions,”.- Acknowledged the result depends on the capabilities of the lab and the lab technicians.


Guangzhou Wondfo Biotech Co., Ltd. and Zhuhai Livzon Diagnos the concerned suppliers here are FDA & CE approved and of universal standard.

No health ministry in the world has claimed Chinese rapid test kits were faulty,rather most rebutted their media's faulty claims. So, is India some special leader in this field?

Experts said that inaccurate results may reflect testing methods rather than the technology itself, as similar manufacturing techniques are used by Chinese companies and their foreign counterparts.

The more incompetent and lacking the labs and lab workers are,the higher will be the inaccuracy,don't blame china for that.

Steps of Chinese business model

1) Eat exotic animals
2) Create local epidemic
3) Import tons of high quality PPE and masks from other nations
4) Cry out when nations try to ban flights and also do massive coverup of extent of the epidemic
5) Convert epidemic to pandemic
6) Resell masks, PPE etc that you bought earlier at 2-3 times the price
7) Create cheap faulty test kits and export them to desperate nations
8) Enjoy the new profits
9) Wait for 10-15 years
10) Repeat from Step 1 onwards

The economic damage sustained by China far outweighs whatever profits they can make out of this crisis ...

The funny part is that Chinese eat anything they find on the ground. Chinese would even eat the open defecation

Not to pick a fight here but I'm pretty sure India leads the world in open defecation ...
