An Accurate Diagnostic Labs and Rutgers University joint venture has received the first EUA from FDA for saliva testing for Covid-19 patients. The test, which uses the DNA 1000 Saliva Collection Kit by Spectrum Solutions, permits quarantined or self-isolated people to self-administer sample collection under the supervision of a trained health professional. This should reduce the exposure of Covid-19 to healthcare professionals and patients.
Braun Medical has received the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the FDA for the use of its Perfusor Space Syringe Infusion Pump, Infusomat Space Volumetric Infusion Pump and Outlook ES Pump systems for Covid-19 patients.

This is expected to decrease healthcare providers’ exposure to the disease.
