Chinese-made lateral flow tests handed to millions of schoolchildren are being investigated by the regulator after being sent out with the wrong instructions, The Telegraph can reveal.
Devices have been handed out accompanied by out-of-date guidance that states they can be used if a person has symptoms.
The boxes also contained a “confusing” notice from their Chinese manufacturer erroneously saying that the tests were for use by people “suspected of Covid-19 by their healthcare provider”.
