SCIENTIFIC INVENTION (2019-2022)
NAME OF INVENTION:
COVID-19 BREATHALYZER TEST

As mentioned above, health and safety products lead the new technology invention 2022 trends. A
breathalyzer invented by Opteev, a Baltimore-based medical company, the  Vira Warn Freedom  is a
medical-grade handheld breath analyzer that detects COVID-19, its variants, and other viruses
such as the flu. It only takes five seconds for the Freedom to provide an accurate reading as well.
With the ability to get readings on the fly, people have the peace of mind to safely attend events,
dine in restaurants, and do other activities. Portable enough to use easily in classrooms, theaters,
and other places, the device will help increase safety measures in indoor settings. The Vira Warn
Freedom also boasts 100 percent accurate readings of COVID-19.This has been verified by George
Mason University, one of 21 21 National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases certified labs.
In fact, GMU is only one of the labs in the US that can aerosolize COVID-19 and test it. They tested
the Freedom using different viral loads and found that the device was able to detect COVID-19
with perfect accuracy.
METHODS OF INVENTION:
The product was recently tested in a month-long study with live SARS-CoV-2 by the National Institutes
of Health (NIH) NIAID – sponsored laboratory at the Center for Infectious Disease Research (CIDR) at
George Mason University and was shown to be 100% accurate. Besides its incredible accuracy, Freedom
by Vira Warn is also variant-agnostic, meaning it can detect all current and future variants of COVID-
19 without having to be reprogrammed. This is because the patented Vira Warn technology is able to
detect the spike proteins on the outermost shell of the SARS-CoV-2 particle.

He continued, “our remarkable invention will change the course of the pandemic as we know it. We have
partnered with Qualcomm, Bosch, Panasonic, and Nelson-Miller to produce more than 1 billion of the
Freedom by Vira Warn models to finally slow the spread of the virus the only way we truly can –
through accurate, instant, and convenient testing that is as quick and easy as breathing.” Bessemer
emphasized, “we are hoping for a speedy Emergency Use Authorization from the Food and Drug
Administration so that Americans can get their hands on this incredible new testing method now, as it is
so desperately needed as Omicron ravages the country.”

PURPOSE OF INVENTION:

This device will be a game-changer as the country faces a COVID-19 surge with the Omicron-variant
unlike any seen before it and is currently grappling with severe testing shortages. The device is set to
retail at $359 with 200-test replacement cartridges retailing for $39.99. Freedom by Vira Warn will allow
Americans an affordable and convenient solution to instantly test before or after a group gathering or
entering an indoor public space. Opteev’s chairman and co-founder, Conrad Bessemer, said “just
breathe and receive an immediate positive or negative result…that’s literally all you have to do…no
more painful swabs, no more waiting for test results, no more buying test after test just to throw away
after. This will be the least expensive test in the world and the most accurate. Refill cartridges that
provide up to 200 tests are only about $40, making the cost of an individual test only about 20 cents
each.”
