A recall was issued for more than 56,000 COVID-19 rapid tests last week because they were not distributed with the proper clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), according to an announcement posted on its website.
Some 56,000 Skippack Medical Lab SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Test Kits are being recalled by its maker, Universal Meditech Inc., because the “products were distributed without appropriate premarket clearance or approval which potentially could result in inaccurate test results due to lack of performance evaluation by the FDA,” according to an FDA notice, dated Feb. 10.
People who have the Skippack Medical Lab SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Tests should stop using the device and contact the distributor for a return, according to the notice. The recalled products were made between October 2021 and December 2021 and were distributed in January 2022….
