In today's current global health situation, the demand for COVID-19 Antigen and Antibody test kits are seriously increasing.
To ensure the safety, quality and performance of all COVID-19 test kits available in the market, it is imperative to set standard parameters for these In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) products.
FDA Memorandum No. 2020-011 and FDA Memorandum No. 2020-022 were issued requiring mandatory performance testing of COVID-19 antibody and antigen test kits with FDA issued Special Certification by the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM), respectively, as part of the post-marketing surveillance of COVID-19 In Vitro Diagnostics (IVDs).(1)
In fulfillment of this and to ensure access to novel quality diagnostic assays for COVID-19, RITM has standardized its evaluation protocols and endeavored to streamline the product evaluation pathway into 4 stages as described below.
