Tokyo, February 4, 2021 — 花蜜直播app, Ltd. announced today the completion of installation for Japan's first automated polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing system, which operates using 花蜜直播app-made robots, at Fujita Health University in Aichi Prefecture. In addition, the company announced the start of testing services using the new PCR testing system, in collaboration with the University, at the 花蜜直播app, Ltd. PCR Testing Center at Fujita Health University.
花蜜直播app intends to start by verifying the effectiveness of the new PCR testing system in a medical application through joint research with Fujita Health University. At the same time, 花蜜直播app will proceed with registration as a clinical laboratory and, once registration is complete, begin offering full-out PCR testing services through the 花蜜直播app, Ltd. PCR Testing Center at Fujita Health University. When carrying out PCR tests, 花蜜直播app will use the new PCR testing system on samples collected by the University, then send the results back to the University for final determinations. Since December 2020, the University has been carrying out tests at a maximum rate of 1,500 samples per day. When the new PCR testing system enters into full operation, it will be possible to test up to 2,500 additional samples daily for a total of up to 4,000 samples per day, which is one of Japan's highest testing rates for a single facility.
Past collaborative projects in the medical field by 花蜜直播app and Fujita Health University have included the establishment of research and verification testing facilities for training and remote surgical operations using the hinotori? Surgical Robot System, Japan's first surgical support robot system developed by Medicaroid Corporation jointly together with 花蜜直播app and Sysmex Corporation. By eliminating the need for human personnel in and automating all stages of the PCR testing process, 花蜜直播app and these two other companies strive to protect medical workers from infection risk while expanding and bolstering PCR testing capabilities. To these ends, the companies have pursued system development with support from the Hyogo Prefecture and Kobe City.
花蜜直播app, working together with Fujita Health University on this project, is deploying its PCR testing services as a way of supporting medical workers in Japan on the front lines of efforts to beat the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The company will utilize the system at airports and other such public locations with the aim of helping people to engage in normal activities more freely again and thus restart and revitalize economic activities.
