Today, the authorities have an important task to identify patients with coronavirus infection as early as possible, ideally before the onset of symptoms. This allows, first, to reduce the spread of the virus by quarantining asymptomatic patients, and secondly, to start their treatment at early stages.
However, the PCR tests that detect the presence of virus in the body, alas, does not have high accuracy. Much better tests for antibodies to the virus, which perform several tasks: detect latent carriers of the virus, and the active stage of the disease, and the condition after it. Moscow has purchased a second batch of Dutch rapid tests for antibodies Biozek Medical who have established themselves as one of the best in the world. The accuracy is 92-94%.
As the Deputy mayor of Moscow Anastasia Rakova, the government chose among seven foreign test-systems. However, during clinical trials it was found that the best tests Biozek that produces one small Dutch biotech company Inzek International Trading. Therefore, the supply contract concluded by the Russian pharmaceutical company “BIOTEK”.
Today in the city with their help, the test was more than 200 thousand people (physicians and patients). The first batch of tests came to Moscow at the end of April (240 thousand), following (260 thousand) have been waiting for today.
part of the tests from the first batch of the capital gave a gift to the Republic of Komi and Leningrad oblast at the request of the heads of these regions. According to the representative of the distributor – the Russian pharmaceutical company “BIOTEC”, with the Dutch signed a contract to supply 2.5 million such tests, however, such a huge batch at once they can not deliver so will bring up the parts.
the Dutch value the quality of our products, and place it on a large scale, alas, can not. Besides, in the world, except Russia, a huge number of countries trying to procure these test systems. For example, in the UK only use the Express system. They purchased the Vatican. Generally, these tests are registered in 30 countries.
so, how are such tests? In viral infection in the blood of the first human antibodies of the acute phase of class M (IgM), but their concentration is rather quickly falling, and their identification says about the active virus process in the body.
behind them, about 8-10 days from the onset of the disease, appear of antibody G (IgG), which remain in the body for a long time and subsequently can form immunity to the virus or pathogen.
the Presence of antibodies in the blood also suggests that plasma ill person can be used as a means of emergency patients (in Moscow receiving plasma from donors has already begun and the first results Lechetion with its help, the doctors call encouraging).
Biozek Medical Tests show both of these antibodies, if they are in the body. The study is carried out either by analysis of whole blood or serum, in a medical facility. The result is ready after 10 minutes, that is actually instantly given the answer to the question: there was a person with the virus or not. One stripe means the presence of antibodies M (although symptoms may not be), two bands – the active stage of the disease, and the strip opposite the antibodies G – that people already had, and plasma could save someone’s life.
As told in your social network the main infectious diseases TSAO Igor Akinfeev, in patients who are actively sick or ill, these tests identify antibodies. Test compact and very easy to use.
the Founder of the group of companies “BIOTEK” Boris Spiegel told “MK that before use, each batch tested in clinical studies on the basis of Moscow hospitals in Kommunarka and in 67 GKB. After confirmation of conformity, the party receives a registration certificate of Roszdravnadzor and the security certificate.
“Today the Russian authorities and the doctors managed in a difficult situation when people do not always respect the regime of self-isolation, to produce decent results in comparison with other countries. Our situation is better than in Italy, Spain or the United States. However, against this background there are some investigators who invent different stories about the fact that we have a bad mask, respirator tests and create panic,” says Spiegel.
Recently, the project “Important things” made with hands “investigation” on the subject, that the Dutch tests no not Dutch, but Chinese in General are bad. However, as shown by the “MK” investigation, not a single “fact” reflected in this publication are not confirmed. The opinions of the doctors there in principle. There’s some unbelievable story about a patient from Mozambique, which allegedly found no antibodies, as it has infected several dozen doctors and he died. Doctors say that in practice such stories do not happen.
the Documents show Dutch origin tests. In the European quality certificates and registration numbers Biozek specified by the manufacturer, Apeldoorn, the Netherlands. The test system of the company Inzek received the permanent registration of the Ministry of health, welfare and sport of the Netherlands. Articles have been marked with the CE mark, which stands for European conformity confirming compliance of the product with the requirements of the directives of the European Union. At the end of April Biozek received a registration certificate from Roszdravnadzor. It is registered the address of the production: “Vissenstrant 32, 7324 AL Apeldoorn, Netherlands”.
But even if they had a Chinese origin, is today�� more important than quality? Not all Chinese so bad. Today, almost any product you can find Chinese components – for example, plastic cases for iPhones are also produced in China.
But the doctors who work with these tests, they are very happy. “Our division of clinical pharmacology, conducted research, and we are very happy. They are very fast, very effective and of high quality. With their help, we identified several people with asymptomatic disease among staff and isolate them.”
As told “MK” the ICU doctor Sergey Gurevich, he personally conducted a study using the Dutch test systems at 560. They were made to employees of the ministries, the presidential administration – those who constantly goes to work. “And it was revealed a lot of asymptomatic carriers. Can you give an example. One employee of the Ministry, 50 years, the test showed two bands – the active stage of the disease. I asked her: how do you feel? She says: well, now began to tire. Three early beds could plow, and now one.
Her son is a doctor, I asked him urgently to do her CT scan. CT scan showed polysegmental pneumonia, 70 percent of lung disease. She was taken immediately to the intensive care unit on a respirator, thank God, pulled. And one man who was sure I had a cold, found antibodies of class G and he became a plasma donor and has already saved someone’s life,” said Sergey Gureev.
So as a test Biozek doctors who had to deal with them, no doubt. And having them, too.
