SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Co-Diagnostics, Inc.
(Nasdaq: CODX), a molecular diagnostics company with a
unique, patented platform for the development of diagnostic tests,
announced today that Australia has
been added to the list of countries that have authorized the Logix
Smart™ COVID-19 for use in detecting SARS-CoV-2, the virus that
causes COVID-19.
Australia joins the United States, India, Mexico, the European Community and others as a
region where the Company's test can be sold and used as a
coronavirus in vitro diagnostic (IVD). The Australian
Government Register of Therapeutic Goods Certificate was recently
issued to the Company's distributor in Australia, approving the distributor to supply
the Class 3 IVD to the Australian market.
Dwight Egan, CEO of
Co-Diagnostics, commented, "Co-Diagnostics recognizes the
importance of accurate, high-throughput testing in combating surges
of coronavirus infections, and we are gratified that our test is
being used to help people in so many countries to safely navigate
this ongoing pandemic, now also including Australia."
The news follows recent reports of a soaring coronavirus
outbreak in Melbourne, prompting
the state of Victoria to declare a
"state of disaster" and to strengthen lockdown measures.
The CE-marked and FDA EUA Co-Diagnostics Logix Smart COVID-19
test is currently available to all clinical laboratories certified
under Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA), and is
authorized to be used for the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2, the virus
that causes COVID-19, in the US and many other countries.
