Empower Clinics Inc has announced that its Kai Care At Home coronavirus (COVID-19) collection kits will soon be available again in Canada with support from Ontario-based RapidScreen Services Inc.
The Vancouver-based integrated healthcare company’s Kai Care At-Home Collection Kit uses a simple and easy saliva collection process to test for COVID-19, with reliable results delivered in 24-to-48 hours, utilizing the RapidScreen lab testing network and proctoring services.
"With this partnership we've delivered on one of our top priorities in 2022 to find a Canadian lab solution and offer reliable and accessible testing services and products to all Canadians," Empower CEO Steven McAuley said in a statement.
"Our agreement with RapidScreen provides access to reliable and convenient laboratory testing services. This is a must to re-open our Canadian economy, businesses and homes," he added.

Empower said that with the addition of the Canadian lab partner and Kai Medical Laboratory in Dallas, Texas it can now provide predictable testing solutions throughout North America.
Kai Care kits require only a saliva sample and are ideal as a COVID-19 testing method to meet certain travel requirements that need negative results in an extremely narrow timeframe. Using Kai Care involves a simple five-step process: order your kit, activate your kit, complete your kit, return your kit, and receive results.
Ontario-based RapidScreen Services specializes in offering lab services to industries requiring on-time results for staff to allow uninterrupted work and operate on tight timelines.
Under Empower's agreement with RapidScreen, RapidScreen will provide RT-PCR COVID 19 testing, sample collection virtual proctoring services, and reporting through RapidScreen's unique and seamless software.
The Kai Care Collection Kit can be purchased in Canada online at www.kaitests.ca or through participating pharmacy partners. In the US, the Kai Collection Kits can be bought here.
