BioFire Respiratory Panel 2.1 (RP2.1) (BioFire Diagnostics, LLC) The FDA issued a De Novo classification order for BioFire Diagnostics, BioFire Respiratory Panel 2.1 (RP2.1) as a Class II device under the generic name "Device to detect and identify nucleic acid targets in respiratory specimens from microbial agents that cause the SARS-CoV-2 respiratory infection and other microbial agents when in a multi-target test" (to be codified in 21 CFR 866.3981) on March 17, 2021. FDA has concluded that this is an adequate, approved, and available alternative for the BioFire Diagnostics, LLC device which was initially authorized for emergency use in 2020. Accordingly, on March 17, 2021, FDA determined that the criteria for issuance of an emergency use authorization (EUA) under section 564(c) of the Act are no longer met and revoked the EUA for the BioFire Respiratory Panel 2.1 (RP2.1), issued on May 1, 2020, and revised on December 22, 2020, pursuant to section 564(g)(2) of the Act. |

Umbrella of Infusion Pumps and Infusion Pump Accessories On September 21, 2020, FDA has determined that circumstances support revocation of the umbrella EUA to protect the public health or safety. Individual EUAs will allow for tailored indications and scopes of authorization, including but not limited to those for different environments of use, routes of administration, and patient populations. In addition, this would allow for individualized conditions of authorization to address any issue unique to a specific device, and more streamlined EUA amendments, such as additional uses that would not fall under this umbrella EUA. Accordingly, FDA has decided to revoke this EUA. Instead, FDA may issue individual EUAs for infusion pumps and infusion pump accessories that meet the requisite EUA statutory criteria. Accordingly, the EUA was revoked under Section 564(g)(2)(C) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic (FD&C) Act. |

Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Rapid Test (Autobio Diagnostics Co. Ltd.) On August 6, 2020, based on FDA's continued review of the scientific evidence available for Autobio Diagnostics Co. Ltd.'s Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Rapid Test for the qualitative detection and differentiation of IgM and IgG antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in human plasma from anticoagulated blood (Heparin/ EDTA/ sodium citrate) or serum 2, including evidence from an NIH/NCI independent evaluation, FDA determined that the statutory criteria for the authorization in Section 564(c)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic (FD&C) Act are no longer met. Specifically, FDA determined that it is not reasonable to believe the product may be effective in detecting IgM antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 or that the known and potential benefits of the device when used for this purpose outweigh its known and potential risks. FDA also concluded that based on the risks to public health from false test results, revocation is appropriate to protect the public health or safety. Accordingly, the EUA was revoked under Section 564(g)(2)(B) & (C) of the FD&C Act. |

DPP COVID-19 IgM/IgG System (Chembio Diagnostic System, Inc.) On June 16, 2020, FDA revoked the EUA for emergency use of Chembio Diagnostic Systems, Inc.'s DPP COVID-19 IgM/IgG System, which was authorized to detect IgM and IgG antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in serum and plasma (EDTA or lithium heparin), venous whole blood, or fingerstick whole blood specimens. New information from multiple evaluations of the device's clinical performance were reviewed following authorization and data from these evaluations demonstrated poor clinical performance of the device. Given the poor performance, after consideration of the totality of scientific evidence available to the Agency, FDA determined under section 564(g)(2)(B) that the criteria for issuance of emergency authorization in section 564(c) of the Act were longer met for the DPP COVID-19 IgM/IgG System. Specifically, given the poor device performance, FDA concluded that it was not reasonable to believe the product may be effective in detecting antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 or that the known and potential benefits of the test outweigh its known and potential risks. In addition, based on the same information and the risks to public health from false test results, FDA concluded that revocation is appropriate to protect the public health or safety under section 564(g)(2)(C). |

Luminex has decided to discontinue manufacture of the product and there is no remaining viable inventory of the xMAP MultiFLEX Zika RNA Assay. As a result, this product will no longer be marketed, and these circumstances make revocation appropriate to protect the public health or safety. Accordingly, on July 3, 2019, FDA revoked the EUA for xMAP MultiFLEX Zika RNA Assay, pursuant to section 564(g)(2) of the Act. As of July 3, 2019, the xMAP MultiFLEX Zika RNA Assay that was authorized by FDA for use by clinical laboratories for the qualitative detection of RNA from Zika virus is no longer authorized by FDA. |

ReEBOV Antigen Rapid Test (Zalgen Labs, LLC) On May 18, 2018, FDA revoked the EUA for emergency use of the ReEBOV Antigen Rapid Test, which was authorized by FDA for the presumptive detection of Zaire Ebola virus (detected in the West Africa outbreak in 2014), Sudan Ebola virus, and Bundibugyo Ebola virus in fingerstick (capillary) whole blood, venous whole blood, and plasma from individuals with signs and symptoms of Ebola virus infection in conjunction with epidemiological risk factors (including geographic locations with high prevalence of Ebola infection). On February 24, 2015, based on a request by Corgenix Inc. ("Corgenix"), FDA issued a letter authorizing the emergency use of this test. On November 3, 2016, FDA reissued the EUA to allow Zalgen Labs, LLC ("Zalgen") (and its authorized distributors) to distribute the ReEBOV Antigen Rapid Test manufactured by Corgenix, as well as distribute the ReEBOV Antigen Rapid Test manufactured by Zalgen if it met certain conditions, including that FDA concur after receiving performance characteristics for the Zalgen manufactured ReEBOV Antigen Rapid Test. In a letter to FDA dated March 1, 2018, Zalgen requested to FDA that the transfer of the EUA from Corgenix be withdrawn. In addition, there is no remaining viable inventory of the ReEBOV Antigen Rapid Test manufactured by Corgenix. As a result, this product will no longer be made available.
