“The submission of this first 510(k) application represents a significant milestone in the company’s journey towards receiving FDA approval for the COVID Ultra Test.

“This also forms the foundation for additional submissions of other high-performing assays on the same platform, many of which are available in Europe and elsewhere and others which are in late stages of development.”

During the pandemic, the company secured various Emergency Use Authorizations (EUA) for its SARS-CoV-2 Ag tests.

In February this year, LumiraDx received the FDA EUA and the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) validation for a multiplex test for Covid-19 and influenza A and B.

Named LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 and Flu A/B STAR Complete, the assay enables laboratories to rapidly detect and differentiate individuals with respiratory viral infections consistent with Covid-19.
