While this test offers rapid results -- promised in under three minutes -- this is not the same kind of rapid test available for purchase at local pharmacies. It is not aimed at being an "at-home" screening method -- rather, it is meant for what InspectIR Systems COO John Redmond described to ABC News as a "volume play."
InspectIR Systems aims to produce roughly 100 test devices per week, with 10 made so far, Kaiser told ABC News. In the next month, they expect to have roughly 250 test devices ready to go and say they will be making "as many as the line can hold."
Redmond said the company expects leasing agreements to cost between $25,000 and $30,000 per month
Each device can each be used to evaluate approximately 160 samples per day.
