The FDA has suspended the Emergency Use Authorization for the Chembio DPP COVID-19 IgM/IgG System due to performance concerns.

RapidScreen Solutions applauds the FDA diligence and assurance of a high standard of care. We will continue to follow the FDA’s guidance and will no longer administer the Chembio tests. We will continue monitoring this quickly developing situation and reviewing rapid response antibody test options that may be available or may become available. Protecting Utahns and providing the best available results is our top priority.

Our processes and redundancy have demonstrated replicable results using the best available rapid response antibody screening methodology. We have found very consistent results with this test both through retesting any questionable results and through our internal verification processes. We appreciate the important policy making and monitoring role of the FDA and will continue using the best available screening tests and methodology going forward.
