FDA: Don’t use certain SD Biosensor COVID-19 tests  

Consumers and health care providers should not use certain SD Biosensor Pilot COVID-19 At-Home Tests distributed by Roche Diagnostics due to bacterial contamination, but throw them in the trash, the Food and Drug Administration announced last week. Health care providers should consider retesting patients using the test less than two weeks ago if they suspect an inaccurate result; consider whether patients presenting with signs of bacterial infection recently used the test; and report any problems experienced with the tests to the MedWatch program, FDA said.
