us. irene, thanks for being with us. when was your test ready and why was it not approved? yeah. well, thank you. thank you for the opportunity. so yeah, indeed, we had very early in march and indeed was the first submission to the fda back then as a clinical study in three hospitals in florida. so basically the test is just, as you know, a very simple test. it s an antigen test so it actually detects the virus. and what we found out, that indeed the first three to four days it s absolutely accurate. this test can even reach the same as pcr, but then it actually goes down in the sensitivity and performance as you progress in the disease. so fda was not able to accept this test because they want an overall one that basically takes into account about seven days of disease.
