COVID-19 diagnostics marketed under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) are transitioning to comply with US FDA 510(k)/de novo requirements to remain on the market in the United States. Precision for Medicine experts are here to guide you through the process for clearance.
Regulatory, Clinical, and Quality Steps Required to Move From EUA to 510(k) Clearance
Since the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, an intense research effort has been focused on swiftly bringing diagnostic tests to market under EUA. Now, with the availability of 3 COVID-19 vaccines, we are seeing a steady increase in population immunity. Although the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency remains in effect, the FDA has already issued draft guidances on transition plans for devices under an EUA. Therefore, we expect manufacturers of diagnostics with EUAs to start transitioning to marketing submission, as the FDA has granted the first de novo and cleared the first molecular 510(k). A de novo has not been granted for an antigen or over-the-counter test.
With hundreds of COVID-19 assays with EUA potentially transitioning to 510(k) clearance in a short period, plans should now be made for the necessary analytical and clinical validation studies and regulatory submissions.
