The Product is used to qualitatively detect, in vitro, novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) nucleocapsid (N) antigen in nasal swab samples. It is suitable for patients with acute infection. The nasal swab samples used for the test can be collected and tested by medical staff or the person being tested. The Product is not to be used alone in the diagnosis of novel coronavirus infections. A positive result only indicates that there may be specific antigens in the sample, and the infection status should be determined based on the nucleic acid test results. A negative result does not rule out novel coronavirus infection, and should not be used as the sole basis for making treatment and disease management decisions. Suspected patients experiencing the relevant clinical symptoms should carry out further nucleic acid test regardless of the test results indicated by the Product.

The applicable range of people and the use of the Product will be subject to applicable laws and regulations, including the Pilot Scheme for Coronavirus Antigen Test Applications* (อڿषݭҤࡡᏨ಻ Ꮠ͜˙ࣩ€༊Б) of the PRC.

The Product has received a number of registration and certification overseas, including the European Union's (EU) Conformitè Europëenne (CE) certification, the German BfArM (Bundesinstitut für Arzneimittel und Medizinprodukte) registration, and it is included in the EU Health Safety Committee's Common List (which is a recognized whitelist in the EU).

The sales performance of the Product in Mainland China will be subject to a number of factors including but not limited to demands arising from pandemic control measures, supply of raw materials, production and supply chain capabilities, market competition landscape and distribution channels, in which there exist uncertainties. Shareholders and potential investors should exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company.
