OraSure Technologies has submitted an application to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) of its Covid-19 rapid antigen test. The EUA would allow for the test to be used as an at-home prescription test, as well as for professional use in point-of-care (POC) settings. OraSure has started manufacturing the assay test alongside the EUA submission.
BD has received EUA from the FDA for its new, rapid antigen test that can detect SARS-CoV-2, influenza A and B in one sample. The BD Veritor System delivers results within 15 minutes and is expected to launch the test in the summer of 2021-2022.
