(MedMira) (TSXV:MIR) and Lovell® Government Services announced today that they have partnered to serve federal healthcare systems such as the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), the Military Health System (MHS), and the Indian Health Service (IHS). Lovell Government Services will serve as MedMira's Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) vendor to serve these customers through federal contracting systems.The Reveal® G4 HIV-1/2 antibody rapid test (Reveal® G4 HIV) is the world's fastest HIV rapid test. Based on MedMira's patented Rapid Vertical Flow Technology, the Reveal® G4 HIV offers a simple testing solution with immediate results which do not fade away. Therefore, offering the best rapid testing solution which is FDA approved since 2004. The Reveal® G4 HIV is offered in three convenient formats (Point-of-Care finger-stick whole blood, Laboratory format Serum/Plasma and venipuncture whole blood) to accommodate any health care setting without the need for timing devices. With its unique built-in procedural and reagent control line, an operator can be assured that each test has been performed correctly.A unique feature of MedMira's patented technology is the elimination of the prozone (hook) effect, a known common issue in traditional serological tests, where a high concentration of antibodies can lead to false-negative results. MedMira's technology avoids this by ensuring antibody binding occurs in a controlled, localized environment, while excess antibodies are washed away. The result is a highly accurate test that maintains reliability across a wide range of antibody levels.As MedMira's SDVOSB Vendor, Lovell is excited to bring this product to federal healthcare providers. MedMira is now available through the Department of Veterans Affairs' Federal Supply Schedule (FSS), GSA Advantage, the Defense Logistics Agency's Electronic Catalog (ECAT), and the Department of Defense's Distribution and Pricing Agreement (DAPA). Listing products on contract vehicles with Lovell streamlines the acquisition process while helping government agencies meet their SDVOSB procurement goals.\"We're proud to partner wit...
