These are the same lateral flow tests of which the UK Govt ordered millions. If you have any, the US Govt advice is put them in the trash!!
The BMJ did say at the time (last autumn) that the tests weren't fit for purpose, and likely to give false results, which is one of the issues.
Quite an interesting back story about the UK firm which got the UK contract to supply here - I don't think it really bears any relation to the quality of the test but I do wonder what checks the Govt do before awarding contracts (remembering also the contract with the ferry company that had no boats!)
