Would you like to know within minutes that you are not infected with the corona virus? It is possible with the breath test SpiroNose, a new corona rapid test that is used in a test street of GGD Amsterdam.
The SpiroNose (also called electronic nose or e-nose) is a breath test. The device smells of the breath you breathe or you may be infected with the corona virus. This makes this test different from the other corona tests: the SpiroNose does not detect the virus itself, but the consequences of the infection in your body.
SpiroNose smells consequences of corona infection
An infection causes the body to work to fight the virus, and this affects the smell of your breath. A human nose cannot pick up this change of smell, but the electronic nose has been specially trained for this.
Breath test as a screening tool
The SpiroNose can determine with certainty that 70% of all people who take the breath test are not infected with the corona virus. They will receive the results immediately. For the remaining 30%, the device is not sure. These people can then take a PCR or a LAMP test in the test line to determine whether they may be infected.
Test result within minutes
The results of the SpiroNose will be known within a few minutes. This makes this breath test a great step towards making testing for the corona virus even more accessible. The breath test has been validated as a pre-screening test in people who have no or mild complaints. People who have drunk alcohol should pay attention: there must be at least 8 hours between the last glass and the test.

Sounds interesting.
