RE:RE:TheeRook WroteApologies if I'm wrong about this, but I am sure those tent tests are fine, it's what happens to the sample afterwards that is effected.
If the testers are trained to make sure the sample is not contaminated, then what happens between when it gets taken, and when it gets tested at the lab doesn't matter.
Cheers!

Considering both Quidel and BD are authorized for LABRATORY USE ONLY. Perhaps you can explain the following. I fail to see how open sided tents for drive thru testing fall under the EUA of the Lab use only? A far cry from a controlled environnment.

Non-Laboratory Use. They are then in a league of their own, with ZERO competition until another company meets these same requirements.
