FDA alerts providers to COVID-19 rapid test recall
The Food and Drug Administration last week announced a Class 1 recall of two COVID-19 tests the agency had not authorized or approved. Due to the potential for false results, FDA said health care providers and testing programs should consider retesting patients with an authorized test if they administered the CovClear COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test less than two weeks ago and suspect an inaccurate result, or administered the ImmunoPass COVID-19 Neutralizing Antibody Rapid Test and suspect a recent or prior COVID-19 infection.
