BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) (NYSE:BDX), a leading global medical technology company, today announced a collaboration with ReturnSafe, the all-in-one software solution for COVID-19 employee health, safety and compliance, to integrate the BD Veritor™ At-Home COVID-19 Test directly within the ReturnSafe testing management platform.
“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,” said Dave Hickey, president of Life Sciences for BD. “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, co-founder and vice president of Business Development at ReturnSafe said, “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.”
