Lucira's All-In-One Test Kit Receives the US FDA's EUA as the First COVID-19 Test for Self-Testing at Home

Shots:

  • The Lucira’s COVID-19 all-in-one test kit test has been authorized for home use with self-collected nasal swab samples in individuals aged≥ 14yrs. who are suspected of COVID-19 by their HCPs
  • It is also authorized for use in POC settings for all ages- but samples must be collected by an HCP when the test is used at the POC to test individuals <14yrs. The test is currently authorized for prescription use only
  • Lucira plans to amend its EUA or file a new EUA so people who think they’re infected with COVID-19 can communicate with a medical professional online through a website to arrange a prescription and overnight delivery of the test kit by Q2’21
