Combined solution allows convenient, economical management of an enterprise's population.
BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) began collaborating with ReturnSafe, an integrated software solution for COVID-19 employee health, safety, and compliance. BD aims to pair its Veritor at-home COVID-19 test within the ResturnSafe testing management tool.
"The BD Veritor At-Home COVID-19 Test enables people to test from home, without a proctor, while ensuring verifiable results because test results can only be read using a smartphone," Dave Hickey, BD’s president of Life Sciences told the press. "The test eliminates human subjectivity in reading the result, because there is no guessing game about one line or two, as is sometimes the case with visually read tests. You get a definitive 'POSITIVE' or 'NEGATIVE' digital display that is dated and time-stamped in the app, and reporting of the results to a business or organization can also be fully automated. This combination of interpretation and secure reporting significantly reduces the potential for test results to be manipulated or misreported. The addition of ReturnSafe simplifies and streamlines the management of testing results and workplace health and safety solutions."
Jason Story, ReturnSafe’s co-founder and VP of business, added, "Our collaboration with BD will help employers across the country keep their doors open while complying with local and federal mandates. Employers today must find new ways to navigate during these uncertain times. By using the ReturnSafe and BD Veritor At-Home COVID-19 Test, this combined solution allows for convenient and economical management of an enterprise's entire population."
BD’s Veritor at-home COVID-19 test results are digitally displayed test results in 15 minutes, interpreted by a mobile app. The test automates reporting results to federal and state public health agencies and has the option to report to businesses and schools. Employees can upload test results from home thanks to technology to digitally read and verify results, which can then be uploaded into ReturnSafe.
