JAKARTA, KOMPAS — A locally made COVID-19 detector called Gadjah Mada Electronic or GeNose is currently at the post-marketing diagnostic phase and circulating in the public. GeNose, which detects possible COVID-19 infections through human breath, will be used at a number of train stations for long-distance train passengers in the future. To ensure its accuracy, the detector must meet a set of standards.
Association of Indonesian Clinical Microbiologist central board member Anis Karuniawati said on Wednesday (3/2/2021) in Jakarta that the use of the SARS-CoV-2 detectors must also consider the established standards.
