The FDA issued an alert this week saying the COVID-19 test made by the California company Curative poses a “risk of false results, particularly false negative results.” The agency didn’t specify the false error rate.
Curative has provided tens of thousands of tests for city and county sites throughout Los Angeles since last April.
The FDA also said swabbing the nose or cheek must be directly observed and directed … by a trained healthcare worker. Currently at city of L.A. testing sites, patients are given instructions and told to swab themselves.
