- You agree and acknowledges that the SARS-CoV-2 NGS Assay-EUA is:
- Not FDA cleared or approved;
- Authorized by the FDA under an EUA solely for use by authorized laboratories;
- Authorized only for the detection of nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2, not for any other viruses or pathogens;
- Authorized only for the duration of the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of emergency use of in vitro diagnostics for detection and/or diagnosis of COVID-19 under Section 564(b)(1) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, as amended (the “Act”), 21 U.S.C. § 360bbb-3(b)(1), unless the authorization is terminated or revoked sooner; and
- Subject to the EUA and such EUA will be effective until the declaration that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of the emergency use of in vitro diagnostics for detection and/or diagnosis of COVID-19 is terminated under Section 564(b)(2) of the Act or the EUA is revoked under Section 564(g) of the Act and may not be utilized after this period.
- Only authorized laboratories (laboratories certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA), 42 U.S.C. §263a, to perform high complexity tests) are permitted to purchase and use the SARS-CoV-2 NGS Assay-EUA. Such authorized laboratories may solely use the SARS-CoV-2 NGS Assay-EUA for clinical diagnostic purposes.
- The emergency use of the SARS-CoV-2 NGS Assay-EUA under the EUA must be consistent with, and may not exceed, the terms of the EUA letter, dated 23 mars 2021, which can be found here: https://www.fda.gov/media/146932/download (the “EUA Letter”), including the Scope of Authorization (Section II) and the Conditions of Authorization (Section IV).

- Authorized laboratories using the SARS-CoV-2 NGS Assay-EUA shall have a process in place for reporting test results to healthcare providers and relevant public health authorities, as appropriate. Negative results do not preclude SARS-CoV-2 infection and should not be used as the sole basis for patient management decisions. Negative results must be combined with clinical observations, patient history, and epidemiological information.
- Authorized laboratories shall collect information on the performance of the SARS-CoV-2 NGS Assay-EUA and report to DMD/OHT7-OIR/OPEQ/CDRH (via email: [email protected]) and Twist (via email: [email protected]) any suspected occurrence of false positive or false negative results and significant deviations from the established performance characteristics of the SARS-CoV-2 NGS Assay-EUA of which they become aware.
