Maccabi and National Health Funds, assisted by the IDF Technology Division and Manufacturers Association, set up first mobile positions of their kind in the world • Receiving answers expected within 24 hours

Israeli Pride: Maccabi Health Services and Leumi Health Funds have announced the establishment of independent testing posts for Corona, which do not require the presence of a doctor or nurse.

The position of the Maccabi health fund has been carefully designed and designed so that the samples are taken in complete separation between the model and the subject, without the need for protective equipment. There is no air passage between the area where the subject stands and the model and equipment is sanitized between the subject and the subject.

The position was built by Maccabi and the "Is Segev Industries" company, with the help of the Israeli Manufacturers Association, and has widespread international interest and the Ministry of Defense has expressed an interest in examining the possibility of producing such positions on a large scale.

At the same time, "Leumi Health Services", in collaboration with the IDF's Technology and Logistics Division, built an innovative and first-of-its-kind test position to perform corona testing without the need for protective equipment for paramedics and nurses. The position is designed so that there is positive air pressure inside the cell so that the model does not need the missing protective equipment and makes it difficult to work The model.

The first position will be placed tomorrow at a national clinic in Ramat Gan and will allow the sampling process without contact with the subject and without protective equipment. It was designed and developed by members of the dry land technology division and the IDF and national rehabilitation and maintenance center is the first fund to use this position.

It should be emphasized that, as part of the national effort to curb the spread of the Corona virus, the National established dozens of sampling points across the country in existing clinics and operated four provincial patrol vehicles that roam the area and carry out corona samples as needed.

Leumi CEO Nissim Alon congratulated the new development, noting that "from now on Leumi offers its customers a range of options for conducting corona tests, both through the new positions, through the sampling points and through mobility.

National customers will be able to come and do the sampling in the morning, we will send the samples directly to Leumi's innovative laboratory and the customer will receive the answer within 24 hours of sampling. I thank the IDF for the great help in characterizing and building the position and I have already ordered dozens of such positions for the benefit of national clients. " 

"It is very important for us to take responsibility for end-to-end Corona lab testing: referral of the patient's personal physician while documenting his medical record, national sampling and nurse record, transferring to a national lab, decoding the test by the innovative" Cobs 6800 "device, and automating the answers to the automation. On the app, and doctors directly into the patient's medical record. That's how we closed a circle like any other lab test in the routine. "
