RE:RE:Pending approval....I think HC approval will be alot faster given the fact that public health and medical officers across Canada are pushing for saliva tests for elementary students. They want to test younger children regularly and they don't want to use nasal swabs. We have some political pressure for use of saliva tests. Given that DM's saliva test has already been approved by FDA, EUA, and UK and it should be a rubber stamp approval given the reputation of these type of saliva kits being used in my opinion. If it's approved by HC I really think provinces and the feds will sign contracts with DM in the potential millions in my opinion. Again if HC approval happens soon. They need ligtening speed approval like Abbots test kits. Also, exclusive rights to sell in Saudi Arabia is another huge potential contract in my opinion. Hats off to Marshall Gunter and Andrew Ryu. Good job!
Here's a meta-analysis of multiple studies for saliva vs nasal swab accuracy https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/2775397
