SAMBA II is a connected platform intended for infectious disease management.

As per Diagnostics for the Real World, ‘the tablet module controls the assay module and receives all results via Bluetooth. The tablet module can send results to the Bluetooth printer, or via SMS, mobile Internet, or Wi-Fi to a backup tablet or a tablet in a remote clinic that send their samples to be tested with SAMBA II. The tablet module can also send test results in a standard format to a laboratory information system (LIS), to a Ministry of Health service, or the SAMBA dashboard. Test results can also be downloaded directly from the tablet via USB. With SAMBA II, test results can be sent to those that need them.’

The University of Cambridge says, ‘SAMBA II looks for tiny traces of genetic material belonging to the virus, amplifies it billions of times chemically, and is therefore extremely sensitive in the detection of active infections.’ The tests performed by SAMBA II machines, 102 in total on patient samples, have been validated by the Public Health England, Cambridge. The SAMBA II machines have an accuracy of 98.7% when it comes to correctly identify positive cases.
