    Remember when hand sanitiser was selling for $50/litre? It can now be got for $5.

    In a few months these tests will be selling for a fraction of the price… but that doesn’t help people who need them now.

    RA Tests, the new hand sanitiser.

    No deal.

    Not sure why all the negs - I paid $14.95 each over week ago (before the rush).

    Happy to be corrected but I believe this is the only saliva (not nasal) RAT with TGA's “Very High Sensitivity” ?

    This is the best price I've seen (or would be with free shipping) for this particular test.

    • jetabe on 03/01/2022 - 20:00

      i need RAT kit for self testing and thanks for the post they are around $15 each fair priced.

      I feel we are all overreacting a bit these are good accuracy and aren't readily available

    • Cousin IT on 03/01/2022 - 20:58

      It is the highest one, the only other Saliva test is the Orawell and it's rated as High Sensitivity by the TGA.

      Problem (personal opinion) is that like most other TGA approved RATs, the manufacturers have been unable to test and verify that they work with Omicron, some go as far as saying the have high hopes it can, but none have verified it. V-Chek themselves indicate that they will need to test it once they can cultivate the variant. https://v-chek.net.au/faqs/

      I'm not sure why you'd say this deal is above RRP - as far as I could tell for this particular test kit - the cheapest I could find it online anywhere was $13/test but to get that price you had to buy 25 of them. Another place I found you could get them for $13.50 each - but again only if you bought 20 of them. The most typical price was around $75 for 5 tests ($15 each)

      Of course you may find a different test kit (one of the other 15 approved by the TGA) somewhere for under $10 (again typically only if you purchase multiples - e.g. 5 or 7 tests or more) - but they are different products?

      I hope they will be but its highly unlikely as the gov just wiped out all stock on the market as well as allocations for the next few weeks. That means they will be even more scarce for retails. Test kits are not like masks they are not reusable and highly results dependant.

      • popsiee on 03/01/2022 - 20:59

        No doubt just like other grants they distributed they will give it to their mates first not were they are most needed .

  • Sweet3st on 03/01/2022 - 20:41

    I don’t think it’s such a bad deal. Sure we’re all pissed off that government has left us in the lurch. RATs are in incredibly short supply in Sydney and suppliers are paying a premium to get them here fast. $15 for one test plus a reasonable $4.99 postage isn’t too bad for peace of mind.

    • Kas on 03/01/2022 - 22:57

      Peace of mind? for how long?
      This is not like HIV, if HIV negative, you know you are safe for future as long as you practice safe and you are not going to do any wrong thing.
      But with COVID negative means, tomorrow or within next hour you may get it unless you are isolating. Even with mask or after all safety gears, there is a chance you can get it. Mask is not a condom.

    Even if I owned a RAT kit, I would have had no reason to use it since Covid began. I havent had any flu like symptoms in years, therefore there are no antigens to detect.

    Taking a RAT test without symptoms (mucus, snot, coughing etc) is pointless. You can be riddled with Covid pre / post symptoms and it will just show negative. It needs to detect an antigen.

    Taking these things willy nilly is pointless and they aren't a PCR substitute. Only use one once you feel symptomatic.

    • lplau on 04/01/2022 - 00:41
      +4

      I think you are mistaken. You not having any flu symptoms doesn't mean you have no antigens to detect.
      What you are describing there is a different type of test which isn't yet approved for general use in Australia called the "Rapid Antibody Test" which detects if you have been previously infected with COVID19.

      Where as a RAT (Rapid Antigen Test) detects proteins of the COVID-19, these are more accurate (>70% detection with accuracy of >85%) on symptomatic COVID sufferers, but still provides <50% detection rates on Asymptomatic COVID carriers.

      We just need to live with COVID being around (the cat is out of the bag, and it ain't going back), and 1 step closer to living with COVID is to utilize RAT tests. We should do as much as we could to reduce the spread of COVID which reduces the strain on the health system and hospital beds. If EVERY party goer takes a RAT test before they leave the house, we could potentially detect 50% of the "spreaders" before it even happens.

      However, there will always be people who don't take the test, because they think like you.

      There is a reason why all the case numbers have jumped massively over the christmas and new year break, because I suspect quite alot of them are Asymptomatic or think its only a flu (in denial). But they want to now go overseas, travel interstate etc, so they are forced to get a PCR test, which has now uncovered a massive population of undetected COVID sufferers.

      • tunzafun001 on 04/01/2022 - 02:14
        +1

        Seems we kind of agree. Without symptoms they are far less useful, around 50/50. Better than nothing, but still not as good as the easier solution…to avoid the party or group situation all together.

        Let's face it symptoms severity are determined by viral load carried. So there won't be much viral protein without much virus / symptoms. A few Ozbargainers on here who are positive have reported exactly this. They received negative RAT results on their first 4 days post infection, then a couple of positives, then negatives again by day 7. Most research charts show the same pattern..it's viral load..simple as that.

        This study shows that of all those non symptomatic people who returned a positve RAT, 72% are false positives. This really isn't a good enough test for work / travel in healthy individuals. A follow up RAT should however rule them out. But it's a pricey proposition with large workforces.

        The good side is false negatives in people presenting symptoms is super low. So if you are feeling remotely unwell, a RAT is useful/ a must.

        The study

        https://www.cochrane.org/CD013705/INFECTN_how-accurate-are-r…

        Lastly, with all the variant mutation data out there, a predictive vaccine to stop future strains should be on the cards. It won't make $$ sense for Pfizer etc to make one, a government lab needs to step up.

      A mate of mine did that with his listerine. Had 1 empty bottle and a new bottle, and every time he rinsed his mouth once, he spat it into the empty bottle. Then once one is full he did it back into the other empty bottle.

    POSSIBLE SCAM:
    Ordered these and received a text to pickup from a non-existent store in Sunshine (the pick up location I chose)
    Called the mobile number in the order confirmation with no answer.
    Then googled a 1300 number where a guy mentioned the Sunshine store closed a while back and that all tests would be mailed out.

    When I mentioned, they didn’t have my address he asked me to email it.

    Seems strange considering the offer was posted by a store rep 🤷‍♂️

          Just got a text saying it's ready to be collected at Melbourne CBD. I called the bloke and he said nah that location is closed, come to box Hill.

          Asked him on the phone to cancel the order. Let's see if that gets through.

          • shaun83 on 08/01/2022 - 08:43
