DAVAO CITY — The Davao Regional Medical Center is running out of coronavirus disease cartridges for its two units of GeneXpert, which process specimens from three provinces of Davao Region and the entire Caraga Region, according to its chief of hospital Dr. Bryan O. Dalid.
Dalid said the hospital has already asked the national government to send 1,400 additional cartridges to continue with its GeneXpert operation. He said the laboratory has less than a hundred remaining cartridges, and has been redirecting specimens coming from Caraga Region to Southern Philippines Medical Center since last week.
He said cartridges, manufactured by Cepheid, would be apportioned among more than 20 countries, including the Philippines, that utilize GeneXpert for COVID-19 testing.
