The liquid was part of a testing kit that had been purchased from China and was about as useful as dog urine [interestingly, dogs are no longer considered part of the China menu but bats and penguins, well, perhaps they still are].
Concern over the liquid was raised when an employee at one of the labs noticed that the color obtained during the test was different than it was supposed to be. The health system analyses concluded that around 10,000 tests have been taken with this faulty liquid in recent days and likely all of these tests would have to be redone.
The health funds and MDA are currently awaiting a decision by the Health Ministry as to what the next steps will be. In the meantime, they were asked only to use those test kits that they are confident are not faulty China crap, like those Chinese finger traps that would fall apart whenever you worried you'd never get your finger free and pulled it apart.
“In light of the fluid color changes in some of the test tubes, we recommend that you use only the systems produced by Biological Industries or NOMAD until we update otherwise,” the Health Ministry informed the health funds.
Bottner said that MDA checked in with all its drive-through, home testing and other facilities and quickly confirmed what tests they had available.
“We took out what wasn’t compatible, and the test centers are working again,” he said.
Bottner also said that this is not the first time a fault in the testing kits has been discovered or that the testing centers or labs have been lacking a needed component to screen people.
On Wednesday, the Health Ministry reported the highest number of tests in a single day: On April 20, 13,342 tests were taken.
