Risk of false positive COVID test

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning for people to avoid using a particular at-home testing kit - LuSys Laboratories COVID-19 Antigen Test (Nasal/Saliva) - due to inaccurate results. The FDA regularly monitors the marketing of unauthorized, unapproved, or uncleared tests, including reports of problems with test performance or results. The FDA is providing this information to help educate test users, caregivers, health care personnel, and the public and to reduce the risk of false test results that could lead to serious illness and death. The FDA will keep the public informed if significant new information becomes available.
