Recent Test AuthorizationsIn the last two months only two new rapid antigen tests have received an FDA EUA. Of the two one requires a nasopharyngeal swab while the other requires an anterior nasal swab and has a sensitivity of 86%. These will not fulfill the requirements of ease of use and/or are certainly not any better than AcuVid in terms of accuracy.
From Robs' most recent interview one can expect that the tests requested by the FDA have now been completed. Based on this same interview and recognizing the tight timelines it's also hard to imagine that the paperwork for said tests has not been provided to the FDA.
Any day now???
