I usually use the Qured (UK Website) rapid flow tests for travel to and from UK/USA and I am very fond of the company and have been extremely happy with them and as a Verifly user they have been extremely useful. Unfortunately I have only one spare Cured test (from Cured UK) and need to use another company for another test for Mrs IflyonAA (or me).
AA has EMed on their website which uses the Abbot Binaxnow Ag Card which
has a demonstrated sensitivity of 91.7% and specificity of 98.5% and the UK requires performance standards of ≥97% specificity, ≥80% sensitivity at viral loads above 100,000 copies/ml (from
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavi...d#type-of-test).
My wife had Covid a while ago so again according to UK Gov website they do not recommend a PCR:
If you have recently had COVID
If you have recently recovered from COVID but are no longer infectious, you should use a lateral flow device (LFD) test. LFD tests have a lower sensitivity than PCR or LAMP tests, so they are less likely to return a positive result from a historic infection. The LFD test must meet the minimum performance standards as set out abov
Thanks for any input and good luck with the impending ....e show.
