  • February 2021 could see daily rates hit 1,000 tests per day
  • March 2021 could see daily rates hit 2,000 tests per day

These run rates DO NOT include the recent 25,000 unit order for KAI Saliva test kits, nor do they include any test kits from the launch of KAItests.com

Empower Clinics CEO, Steven McAuley stated “Our investment in R&D is really starting to pay off for KAI Medical, starting with a new state-of-art laboratory information system to automate processes for the anticipated growth in volume. Next, we have hired three new scientists, increased administrative staff and are activating a call center to provide world-class customer support. Further, the investment in new test protocols such as the Kai Saliva test kit, combined with our Health Canada medical device licence, positions us to be a leader in the reactivation of travel for Canadians.”
