The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will no longer review emergency use authorization (EUA) requests for COVID-19 lab developed tests (LDTs). The agency outlined the change on its webpage FAQs on Testing for SARS-CoV-2, according to a press release.
“We are currently in a different phase of the pandemic with respect to tests than we were previously, where many COVID-19 tests are now authorized to be run in labs,” the agency wrote, adding that the “FDA is declining to review EUA requests for LDTs at this time.”
