A test kit has been imported from China to test fast in India. The same, now the rapid test kit from China with quality claims seems to fail at first sight. The result of this kit is varying from six percent to 71 percent. To check the quality of the kit, the ICMR has decided to send eight of its institutes to the field. Although this kit based on antibodies in blood is being used for surveillance rather than detection of corona patient, but after such difference, there is an increased possibility of wrong results in surveillance also. Last week, 6.5 lakh rapid testing kits were ordered from China.

According to ICMR doctor Raman Gangakhedkar about this matter, reports were also sought from three other states after receiving a complaint about the identification of corona in one state in a rapid test. All states said that during the test of samples found positive in the RT-PCR test, a difference of 6 to 71 percent was found. Which is worrying. However, justifying the decision to get rapid test from China, Dr. Gangakhedkar said that after coming from China, the kit was tested in the lab, in which it was found to be 71 percent correct.

He said that it is the first generation test to identify new viruses like Corona, it is natural to see a slight difference in its results. Its quality will improve gradually. But he definitely believed that due to such a difference in the result, his usefulness in surveillance has also become questionable.
