1. This is one company's product, not all 30 different companies' products of the same type currently authorized by the FDA. The test method is not invalid.

2. The test kits recalled are NOT RT-PCR tests. They are the antigen type test that yields results in half an hour or less, rather than a day or two as with a RT-PCR type test.

3. The danger is not in the physical process of performing the test, but in the rate of false negatives.

4. The recall was initiated by Innova.
The FDA announced today that the CDC PCR test for COVID-19 has failed its full review.
This is a false claim and totally unrelated to the Innova recall. The CDC notified labs using its Covid-only test that the CDC is allowing its EUA to expire in December. They are doing this because they are instead recommending the use of their multi-valent test that tests
and differentiates between Covid and two different flu virus types.
