The Excalibur Rapid Covid test uses a single nostril swab test to collect samples from the nasal cavity. Once the sample is collected, it is processed using a fluid called extraction buffer. After just 1 minute, the specimen is placed on an antigen test card, an accurate positive test result can be read from the card in a little as 2 mins. A complete test requires 15 mins to reveal if individual tests positive or negative for SARS-CoV-2 the virus that causes COVID-19.

FAQ
Here are some questions answered for you.
Is it safe?
The Excalibur Antigen Test Kit is one of the first of its type to achieve compliance and is CE marked and has MHRA registration. CE marking is an administrative marking that indicates conformity with health, safety, and environmental protection standards for products sold within the European Economic Area.
Who should administer the test?
The Antigen Test should only ever be administered by trained medical professionals and trained individuals.
How often should I have staff tested?
  • We have customers who are testing their staff every two days and some twice a week, others once a week. When considering the frequency of testing, please take advice from your testing provider, bearing in mind the following:
  • How prevalent the virus has been amongst your employees or in your locale.
  • Whether the workplace setting provides a particular risk of transmission (for example low levels of ventilation, working in unavoidable close proximity or other factors which prevent full risk COVID-19 measures being instituted).
  • The risk profile of those in the workplace; for example older people or people with underlying health conditions are at greater risk.
  • Although testing may be a useful tool, it is a complement to, and not a replacement for other important measures to stop the spread of the virus. Measures to protect staff and businesses are listed in the guidance on working safely during coronavirus, including good hand and respiratory hygiene, social distancing measures and good fresh air ventilation.
Processing tests
Test results are sensitive data and so should be handled with care. It is possible for employers to receive the results of their employees’ tests, but only if they have appropriate grounds for lawful processing under GDPR. We would recommend that the employee receives their test result at the same time as their employer, as long as the employee has opted to share the result.

Processing must be done by a health professional or someone with an equivalent duty of confidentiality. It is recommended that you keep a record of who will access the test results and the training they’ve received.

Employers are able to test people who they do not employ, as long as a lawful basis for testing them has been recorded, the individual wishes to have a test and all the other GDPR principles are complied with. An employee does not need to isolate whilst awaiting their result unless they have COVID-19 symptoms.

How COVID-19 testing is regulated
COVID-19 testing kits are considered to be medical devices. For a medical device to be safe to use, it must have a valid CE mark. This CE mark is a declaration by the company that the test meets the required legal criteria. These regulatory requirements aim to ensure that the products do not compromise the safety of patients and users, and are designed and manufactured to achieve theperformance specified by the manufacturer for the stated purpose. Both the sample collection kit and the COVID-19 test (that tests the sample) must have a CE mark.
