Medikay and Lifecosm make great efforts for the best possible test quality, which stands out very clearly from most comparable products on the market. It is not without reason that the Paul Ehrlich Institute has attested the highest possible results.

Please note the official manufacturer's letter from Lifecosm in this context, which you can find here.

In several known cases, unofficial merchandise was offered on the German market through fraudulent activities and third countries.
The best products are copied: The EU Intellectual Property Agency (EUIPO) warned in March this year of an increased number of counterfeit products in connection with pandemic items.

From Germany we take on listings such as BfArM and HSC, we organize evaluations (PEI) and take care of performance evaluations for specialist service providers. We continuously invest in the product and approvals. Medikay and Lifecosm work hand in hand.

You can rest assured that all Lifecosm products purchased from Medikay are flawless and subject to strict manufacturer and distributor controls.

In the Medikay Edition, rapid antigen tests introduced exclusively by us correspond to the exact composition of the content of the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut evaluation and went through the product monitoring developed for this purpose.

As a general agency in Europe, Medikay leaves nothing to chance and continuously undertakes market reviews. Each product is provided with a batch number (LOT/batch number). Among other things, the batch numbers contained in the official manufacturer's letter have already been identified in connection with unofficial merchandise.

We are at your disposal for any questions and refer to the authorization by Lifecosm in this context.

Our rapid antigen tests detect the nucleocapsid protein and not the surface protein "spike". The omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5 show a mutation in the genome of the "spike protein" and therefore have no influence on the test result.

The functionality of the Omikron variant was confirmed by the German Paul Ehrlich Institute based on an assessment of the specific content composition of the test strip. The result was the confirmation in the comparative evaluation by the PEI -> "Omicron detection according to the bridging test -> Yes"

Together with the manufacturer, we monitor the development of the pandemic very closely and check whether the test design needs to be adjusted if new variants or sub-variants appear.

The Lifecosm rapid antigen test has been included in the European Commission's EU Common list of COVID-19 rapid antigen tests.

Inclusion in this list regulates, among other things, the reimbursement of an antigen rapid test for users eligible for reimbursement and is also required for issuing internationally recognized test result certificates, which are mutually recognized within the European member states -> EU Digital COVID-19 Certificate.

The test ID is 2866.

The German Paul Ehrlich Institute has once again confirmed the outstanding properties of the Lifecosm antigen rapid test: In the comparative evaluation of the sensitivity of SARS-Cov2 antigen rapid tests, the Lifecosm test was repeatedly attested the best possible results
-> Highest possible sensitivity, even in the low virus load range
-> the confirmed Omicron detection

The Lifecosm rapid antigen test is once again the best possible test in Germany and clearly sets itself apart from most other products on the market.

Here you can access the PDF from the Paul Ehrlich Institute and find the result on page 8 of 16.

The Paul Ehrlich Institute (PEI) in Germany regularly evaluates rapid corona tests that are available on the domestic market. The result is published in the so-called comparative evaluations.

In the published comparative evaluation, the Lifecosm rapid corona test we sell was given an overall sensitivity of 100.0%.

As a result, this rapid test differs significantly from other tests on the market.

All of our Lifecosm rapid test models are based on the same test cassette design and are PEI-evaluated, see BfArM antigen list. In the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut publication, only one test ID is listed if it is not a different test cassette. The result of 100% therefore also applies to all other tests we offer from the manufacturer Lifecosm.

It is often mistakenly assumed that a rapid antigen test with a high overall sensitivity - according to the Paul Ehrlich Institute (PEI) - is rated only marginally worse than the Lifecosm rapid antigen test with an overall sensitivity of 100% according to the PEI.

The following example refers to a specific test published in the comparative evaluation of the PEI on PDF page 11 of 16 with an overall sensitivity of 86%.

Detailed evaluation result of the Paul Ehrlich Institute:
Cq ≤25 -> Cq 25-30 -> Cq ≥30 -> overall sensitivity
100.0% -> 95.7% -> 40.0% -> 86.0%

Cq ≥30 stands for the evaluated low virus load range, in which even acute infections are considered transmissible.

This results in a partial sensitivity in the low viral load range (Cq ≥ 30) of 40%.

This means you detect less than half of all low-virus infections. So 60% of these infections go unidentified.

Our Lifecosm tests were also evaluated in the low viral load range at CT ≥ 30 with a partial sensitivity of 100%.

For you this means: With the Lifecosm rapid antigen test you can detect significantly more infections that other tests on the market do not detect, even if they were rated only slightly worse than 100%.
