As with the previous purchase orders there is a requirement for urgent delivery within a 4 week time frame. The orders do not specify the end customer use although it is understood that due to the size and urgency of the orders, some of these Nano units are to be deployed in connection with the ongoing COVID-19 (formerly 2019-nCoVor Coronavirus) epidemic.
Micro-X continues to work with its supply chain partners to maximise its ability to respond to any future such requirements to deliver Nano units in a very short time frame.While the standard lead time for the delivery of a Nano is between 8-12 weeks from order date, Micro-X has been able to deliver its recent February orders within a time frame of approximately 4 weeks from order date.
As previously announced, early-stage diagnosis of Coronavirus is by a blood test to confirm the infectious agent, and a chest x-ray is used as an essential part of diagnosis of the development and progression of the severity of the illness. Like with pneumonia, a chest x-ray is used to detect fluid in the lungs, particularly with patients presenting with severe acute respiratory distress. The World Health Organisation has defined a criterion for diagnostic progression of the Coronavirus infection from ‘Confirmed Case’ to ‘Severe Illness’ as a chest x-ray with multi-lobar infiltrates or pulmonary infiltration which has progressed more than 50% within 24-48 hours.
