Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
Persistent pain or pressure in the chest
New confusion or inability to arouse
Bluish lips or face
*This list is not all inclusive. Please consult your medical provider for any other symptoms that are severe or concerning.
What does FDA authorized mean?
Abbott's BinaxNOW COVID-19 Ag Card Test has been issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for prescription home use, which provides consumers with the ability to test themselves from the comfort and safety of their homes.
When there is a critical situation impacting health and safety and there are no FDA-approved or cleared tests available, and other criteria are met, the FDA can make tests available under an emergency access mechanism called an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). The EUA for this test is supported by the Secretary of Health and Human Service’s (HHS’s) declaration that circumstances exist to justify the emergency use of in vitro diagnostics for the detection and / or diagnosis of the virus that causes COVID-19.
