Siemens Healthineers’ Coronavirus Antibody Test CE Marked

Siemens Healthineers has begun shipping its COVID-19 total antibody tests globally following receipt of the CE mark.

The test is used to identify patients with recent infection or prior exposure. It is used on Siemens Healthineers’ diagnostic systems, including the Atellica Solution immunoassay analyzer, which can run up to 440 tests an hour.

The company said it is ready to increase its production capacities if needed and will be able to manufacture more than 50 million tests a month beginning in June.
