The partnership with MediGroup allows MedMira to gain access to vast amount of health care providers and with it offer its unique quality products. As a first step, the Company offers its Reveal® G4 HIV-1/2 antibody rapid test (Reveal® G4 HIV), the world’s fastest HIV rapid test. Based on MedMira’s patented Rapid Vertical Flow Technology, the Reveal® G4 HIV offers a simple testing solution with immediate results which do not fade away. Therefore, offering the best rapid testing solution to MediGroup’s members which is FDA approved since 2001. The Reveal® G4 HIV is offered in three convenient formats (Point-of-Care, Laboratory format Serum/Plasma and venipuncture whole blood) to accommodate any health care setting. With its unique in-build procedural and reagent control line, an operator can be assured that each test has been performed correctly.

A unique feater of MedMira’s patented technology is the elimination of the prozone (hook) effect, a known challenge in serological testing, where a high concentration of antibodies can lead to false-negative results. MedMira’s Rapid Vertical Flow Technology eliminates this risk by ensuring that the antibody binding takes place in a controlled, localized environment before visualisation. Any excess antibodies are washed away, preventing interference, and ensuring accurate detection. This makes any test highly reliable for both low and high antibody levels, eliminating the risk of false-negative results.
