SA: "Danaher's Cepheid gets authorization for quicker Covid-19 test"

* The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issues the first emergency use authorization for a point-of-care Covid-19 diagnostic for the Cepheid Xpert Xpress SARS-CoV 2 test.

* Cepheid is part of Danaher (NYSE:DHR).

* The test will provide results within hours, rather than days like existing tests, said HHS Secretary Alex Azar.

* Cepheid said the test has been designed to operate on any of its more than 23,000 automated GeneXpert Systems worldwide, with a detection time of ~45 minutes.

* The company plans to roll out the new test by March 30, the FDA said, while Cepheid said the test will begin shipping next week." more...
