Fluxergy Announces Improved Clinical Performance of Its CE-IVD COVID-19 PCR Test

Fluxergy, Inc., a U.S. medical diagnostic point-of-care platform company with a detection technology solution capable of multiplexity and multimodality, is further announcing improved clinical performance of its CE-IVD COVID-19 RT-PCR test. The CE marking for its one-hour COVID-19 Test Kit allows healthcare professionals to use its in vitro diagnostics (IVD) assay for the detection of SARS-CoV-2. Fluxergy's innovative testing platform is approved for IVD use in the European Union market and any other markets that accept CE marking as valid regulatory approval.

The simple workflow of the Fluxergy platform allows for a NP swab sample collected in a VTM or UTM vial and mixed with the Fluxergy Reaction Mixture within three minutes. This can then be immediately loaded onto the Fluxergy Card and inserted into the Fluxergy Analyzer for qualitative real-time PCR results within one hour. The platform is ideal for rapid testing applications such as emergency testing and delivery ward testing, as well as community reopening testing where expedited turnaround times are critical.

In the most recent clinical performance comparison study conducted by Fluxergy using ninety-five U.S. clinical specimens collected from November 2020 to March 2021, the COVID-19 Fluxergy Test Kit was 100% concordant with Cepheid's Xpert Xpress SARS-CoV-2 (the gold standard for COVID-19 RT-PCR at the Point-of-Care, approved for CE-IVD and other regions).
