FDA warns of possible false results from unauthorized COVID-19 tests

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Tuesday named three unauthorized rapid COVID-19 tests that it says people should not use due to the risk of false results.

The FDA instructed people to not use the Celltrion DiaTrust COVID-19 Ag Rapid Test, the SD Biosensor Inc. STANDARD Q COVID-19 Ag Home Test and the Flowflex SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Test (Self-Testing).

"The FDA is concerned about the risk of false results when using this unauthorized test," said the agency.

All three tests work through the use of a nasal swab. The agency has recommended that healthcare providers and testing program organizers retest patients who have used any of these unauthorized tests less than two weeks ago.
