FDA warns Genetrace for selling HIV Test without Approval
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an official warning letter to Genetrace, a company based in Blaine, Washington, for offering an HIV diagnostic self-collection kit to U.S. customers without proper authorization.
According to the FDA, the product in question is a dried blood spot (DBS) card self-collection kit that people use at home to collect blood samples and send them to a lab for HIV testing. The agency says this kit qualifies as a medical device because it is meant to help diagnose disease.
