- Go inside molecular testing and see how ID NOW works.
Abbott has received emergency use authorization (EUA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the fastest available molecular point-of-care test for the detection of novel coronavirus (COVID-19), delivering positive results in as little as five minutes and negative results in 13 minutes.

Thank you Abbott for your remarkable company! I lived in Rocky Mount NC many years ago and still remember what a great community servant your Company was then.
Thank you for the kind words, Bill
What is the Sensitivity and Specificity of your Covid-19 rapid test?
Thank you abbott, I have invested my Roth IRA in your company not only because I know White to be an upstanding patriot, but because you've been a household name in the OR for the past 20 some years of my medical training. Well done. You deserve every ounce of recognition for mobilizing this diagnostic marvel. Please make enough so Amazon, UPS, USPS etc can have one handy and routinely test all of their employees for everyone's safety. If one of these units requires maintenance in an urgent pandemic setting, what kind of on site certified technicians are available to repair and troubleshoot machines that might not be performing to spec? Is Abbott hiring mobile technicians to repair these units on site in the event of failure? Is there a control sample of COVID19 used to calibrate the machines periodically to make sure they are accurate--seeing as a false negative could yield disastrous results? Is there an Abbott ID NOW "Geek Squad"?
Hi there, thanks for your kind words and support. As for the tests, they need to be performed by a medical professional in facilities such as hospitals, urgent care clinics and physicians’ offices where they have the ID NOW portable system.
Thats a great breakthrough US invention right there! BRILLIANT!
Thank you!
@Beer Slave While we are a global healthcare company, we're headquartered in the U.S.
@@abbott pls send these designs or at least the kits to India and all other countries as well
We are in great need
Because testing is best for lockdown
Or it is no use
@@bharathraju1013 Healthcare workers can order it online.
A pakistani immigrant invented it
This is a molecular test. We need a Serology test as well ASAP. That way we can detect all the people who had the virus previously. Perhaps they had no symptoms and therefore were never tested. A molecular test is great but only tells us who has an active infection.
It is not as urgent to find out who has recovered. They can use the standard testing.
jgould, that presumes you test everybody. and that can't really be done. even for smaller countries (say 4mil population) that would take years even if test lasted 1(one) second. unless you had million of those 1 second test devices which you don't have.
It's already done by Henry inc
At some point testing everyone makes sense. My institution doesn't have enough media to test recovered individuals. For now, we focus on sick/high risk patients.
@@c.3263 it'll be over before you finish your queue
How can it replicate the code so quickly? What does it use in order to replicate? This doesn't explain how the machine works. You basically said, it works because it does.
"Here's how it works." Then doesn't explain how it works.
Precisely. It does not explain how the "sample of the virus" is read.
Abbot doesnt explain shit
When the sale's department is in charge of communicating science: fail
The DNA strand the COV19 test looks for is identical to the DNA code for Human Chromosome #8, according to the WHO description of the test. Everyone has that configuration of proteins.
Exactly
I understand that given the circumstances this is likely a video produced quickly with the intent of impacting a general audience. But the extremely uplifting music combined with the lack of description for the means of detection triggers my curiosity and skepticism. I am also slightly deterred by the inaccurate referencing of the virus by the name given to the infection.
It looks like an advertisement and not a technical description.
It is an ad, but there are conceptual descriptions of the technology in other videos on the manufacturer's website. (Disclaimer: I have no connections with the manufacturer and I'm not a medical lab professional.)
Ok thats fair enough.
Other question, does the virus itself get found, ever?
And also does the test, or any test define how many viruses are in the body?
Your doing a great job, thanks!
Great job! I was just expecting to see this kind of device from Abbott ( a former Abbott employee)
Thanks for the support Cheikh!
What human cell line is being used for a negative control? Where's the spec/lab procedures/primers/probe sequences please and thanks
I have several questions on how to make it work (ID Now already available)
1) How long are swabs good for before they can no longer be analyzed with the ID Now?
2) Can the swabs be placed back inside the foil pouch for transport over a short distance?
3) Can the swabs be used in distant workplaces i.e. offshore and flown back to the laboratory the same day for testing with the ID Now?
4) If we want to test some individuals working offshore, will it work to collect their samples using the Copan eNAT swabs in UTM and then fly them back onshore for processing?
5) Will the transport medium help preserve the samples?
6) Does it make the most sense to simply place the ID Now in the same room with clients (workers from extractive industry) and only use it to process samples of people who are able to come in in-person? If yes, the implication may be that they decide to locate this analyzer offshore, if that is where it will be used the most.
thanks for your kind assistance!
Hi Luis, thanks for your detailed questions. The ID NOW COVID-19 test is a point-of-care test, which means it should be used at the point-of-care for the patient. The swab sample should be collected and mixed directly with the solution contained within the ID NOW sample receiver. You can check out our webpage for more information on how the ID NOW works here: abbo.tt/2ZTX8Kt
awesome work ... this is very remarakable achievement
Much appreciated, Satish
Yeah thanks to Pakistani jameel shaikh who invented it
Hallelujah
Praise the Lord
God answers our prayers constantly
In Jesus Christ
Amen
*_How many Test Kits come with each machines initial purchase?_*_ This information cannot be found on the Abbott Labs website, at this time._
Let's go full throttle ... this is the need of the hour.
they don't show how they actually do the test. why don't they show someone having a swab stuck up there nose to upper sinus area? Heard that it is painful. Also if we have to social distance and stay 2 meters apart because this is so contagious then why are they wanting to stick a swab way up near someones brain? Just cough into a swab or napkin, or spit in cup. Think people.
Great work Team Abbott !!!
Yeah thanks to Pakistani who invented it
Thank you Asmita!
This is the helicase dependent rt-qpcr? or is it rt-LAMP?
that's what I came here to learn, and still haven't learned! O.O
Thank you Abbott and team. You're the heroes of humanity. We proud of you.
Can you provide a link with more technical descriptions? I’m assuming this is based on LAMP technology but I can’t find if described anywhere in your literature ....
Please sell these kits to India as well, we are in great need.
@ji sadhu since when the invention have nationality or religious tag? Aaise soch sirf jihadi rakhate hai. Insaan nahi.
@@user-pr9pq8en2d when you tag activities as religious and give them nationalities. Why not individuals too?
so you need an ID NOW device to run the tests. i'm not familiar with the device, but my question is how many tests per hour can one device produce? if it can only run one test at a time, and takes 15minutes per test, then that means it's limited to less than 100 tests per day.
100 test per day with one device with each doctor or health cabinet that could easily represents thousands of test per day for a small city, imagine the impact

This infographic was far more helpful than the 60 sec video above.
I suggest redoing the video's infuriatingly vague motion graphic content, with the text from the infographic.
Brilliant!
Thanks :)
FDA FAQ page is the only place that deems this CLIA waived however, FDA does not CLIA categorize tests authorized under EUA. Instead the settings in which an EUA authorized test may be used are described in the Letter of Authorization.
The letter does not clarify it as being a waived test it reads authorized labs that are moderate/ high complexity and for patient settings outside a clinical laboratory. These patient settings do not default to CLIA waived.
So the FAQ page has no legitimacy in my opinion that it is categorized CLIA waived, the laboratory community needs a formal statement and decision from CMS. Not just an email from them to read the FAQ FDA page.
Also, we need to look at why this test is so much faster. The biggest difference is how the RNA is pulled out of the protein coat. It’s kind of like cracking an egg, you need to break open the protein, but without damaging the RNA inside. The Abbott point-of-care test pulls the RNA differently from the gold standard Roche rt-PCR, in the Abbott it occurs all inside the instrument. It’s way faster, but it is not entirely clear whether it is better at separating out the RNA without damaging it. This causes LOD issues. There is very little publicly available data on what is called “limit of detection” LOD- that’s how many copies of the virus need to be in the sample before it will give a positive result. The lower the limit of detection, the earlier in the infection process the virus can be detected. This is why this new test will be less sensitive. The Abbott instrument per package insert has an LOD of 125 genome equivalents per ml. A gold standard RT-PCR has an LOD of 3.1 GE/ml. This is why the POC instrument will have many false negatives, it’s the ability to detect as low as 3.1 viral particles vs a required 125 viral particles for the Abbott.
Hi again, we have responded to your most recent comment.
Some times you just need the love to invent something to treat someone in need and with this in love with abbott
Bravo, Abbott 👏! Will you rapidly hire capable people without the many hoops like the FDA has done for Abbott on this amazing device? I'm good at Sales and Quality assurance.
Game changer !
I had this test yesterday after being with a family member on the 25th that tested positive on the 28th. I have been very sick since the night of the 28th. I had the Abbott ID NOW COVID-19 TEST / It came back Negative 2 problems First the paper work they gave me says a Negative result can be wrong 33% Second the tech put the swab in my nose maybe 1 inch then other side 1 inch both for about 1 second each, IS THIS CORRECT.
Hi Brent - we hope you and your family are okay. We recommend that you consult with your healthcare professional for more information. However, Abbott ID NOW data shows it performs at 95.0% sensitivity and 97.9% specificity within seven days of symptom onset.
"Life will find a way"...Thank You Abbot!
Have they passed testing? If so, is there a link where the results can be found?
Hi there, this test is approved by the FDA under Emergency Use Authorization and delivers molecular results, which are valued for their accuracy in detecting viruses in similar settings. You can learn more about the test here: abbo.tt/2wtKtTx
Can this machine also replicate Covid-19 antibodies the way it replicates virus cell for detection? not a serious question, sorry
I rather want to see a test paper strip just lick it and see the color for a positive or negative result.
hank you ... How much is the price of a single device We in Iraq wear many devices and deaths, and the examination is late ... Help us
Hi Haider, thanks for your note. We do not determine the price of tests to patients. Please check with your healthcare provider and insurance.
I want to purchase this machine in India. Could you please guide me how & from where to Purchase it.
I'm a doctor and have my diagnostic centre in India. We desperately need this machine in India right now
Hi Shashank, thanks for your interest. Please call

Hi, have u purchased this machine? Can plz share any info about its working ?
20-50% of cases are from asymptomatic patients so you have to test everyone not just the sick.
350,000,000 Americans
50,000 tests per day
=19 years to test entire population
1 million tests per day would still take a year to test the entire country
Question
Has anyone seen one of these tests?
Let alone took the test?
How much is it and where can I pick it up?
Hi Mike, we do not determine the price of tests to patients. Please check with your healthcare provider and insurance.
How many will a county need to have on hand ?
Is it a throat or nasal swab? Do people do it themselves or does someone else do the swab?
Hi there, thanks for your note. The test needs to be performed by a medical professional in facilities such as hospitals, urgent care clinics and physicians’ offices where they have the ID NOW portable system.
Well Done! Finally good news from the US. Hope they can manufacture and distribute it rapidly. The whole world needs this technology!
How about the cost? Of the equipment and the running cost? Is it very expensive?
Hi Tariq, thanks for your patience. Our ID NOW COVID-19 test will be priced comparable to our current ID NOW Influenza A&B 2 test.
You need to explain what it requires saliva, blood, urine? and how much and how long.
Hi there, a swab is used with our test. Here’s more info on how it works: abbo.tt/2LL0uZh

Is it really only one test a time? Throughput of a standard PCR will be significantly higher then.
Hi Pete, as a point-of-care platform designed to give rapid results, ID NOW performs one test at a time with results available in a little as five minutes for positive results and 13 minutes for negative results.
Does the chemical solution used here contain reagents? I am concerned by reports of a coming shortage of reagents that might impact our ability to test for COVID-19 at scale.
Hey Brent, thanks for your question. Swabs and reagents come with each ID NOW COVID-19 test kit.

Does the test detect Igm antibodies as well as IgG antibodies?
Hi JB, thanks for your note. This test only looks for the IgG antibodies and Architect is one of the most widely used laboratory systems in the world and it’s been used for decades. We have always made highly reliable and accurate tests for other infectious diseases such as HIV and hepatitis. We’re confident in this tests since we’ve used the same approach in the development of this test.
This test doesn't look for antibodies it looks for viral RNA...
.... so again what form of testing is this? PCR?
Hi Matt, thanks for your question. Our ID NOW test is a rapid molecular Point-of-care test.
@@abbott so it's not PCR and therefore, it will not be accepted if you want to fly to another country.
Hi there, thanks for your question. Point-of-care rapid antigen tests are acceptable as proof of a negative test result. Binaxnow is a rapid antigen test and can be used under FDA emergency use authorization. Please refer to your specific airline for more information.

How long before we see a self test?.. lick a strip?
no, from what i have seen they stick a swab way up your nose.. Doesn't make sense. They say this c19 is highly infectious, wear mask, stay 2 meters apart.. but then they have to go way up near your brain for a test. Just cough on a strip / napkin or spit in a cup. Think people.

How could it replicate "Genetic Material"
By doing PCR
nanoprobes
It's PCR
Isothermal amplification- slightly different than PCR, but same principles. PCR requires multiple heating and cooling cycles, which is not necessary for this test. see this link for a technical explanation: czcams.com/video/L5zi2P4lggw/video.html
@@alexanderchen5324 Yep, they are using LAMP to get DNA amplification here
As per Dr. Hakim Djaballah (virologist, CEO of Keren Therapeutics, ex-CEO of Pasteur Institute Korea), "The assays that we do everyday to test this virus, they can only test a certain limit. And if the virus level is below that threshold, you're not gonna detect it."
So yeah, I'd like to remain skeptical in terms of accuracy. Perhaps I'll need more details pertaining to sensitivity & specificity.
Only problem is, it's limited to four tests per hour.
Do u Have any experience of using that
How to get it?
Hi there, thanks for reaching out. We'd be happy to look into this for you - can you please let us know which country you live in?
you should give the manufacturing license to everybody
I agree we need to open source or license testing.
This video doesn't really tell us how it works. Not a surprise, of course, but still, if we have to single-source this, that gives us a single point of failure.

If this product works and so well, what the HELL is US waiting for. Accuracy is a good question?
It uses PCR, polymerase chain reaction. It’s a biochemical method used to amplify unique genes or genetic markers that are unique to the virus, by copying it over and over by biochemical means. If the genetic marker is there and the primer binds to start the reaction, you will see a signal. If it’s not there, no reaction. Not everyone takes biochem 400 level college courses to understand how and why it works, but it works. PCR is a process used to amplify genetic material for rapid flu test, parental dna test, genetic disease, etc.
