MANILA, Philippines — Binalaan kahapon ng Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ang lahat ng health professionals at publiko laban sa pagbili at paggamit ng isang hindi sertipikadong COVID-19 Test Kit na “Femometer Covid-19 IgG/IgM Rapid Test Cassette”.

Lumabas sa beripikasyon ng FDA sa pamamagitan ng post-marketing surveillance na ang nasabing medical device ay hindi pa sertipikado o/at walang  FDA Special Certification (as of 15 May 2020).

Alinsunod sa Republic Act No. 9711, o kilala bilang “Food and Drug Administration Act of 2009”, ipinagbabawal ang pag-manufacture, importation, exportation, sale, offering for sale, distribution, transfer, non-consumer use, promotion, advertising or sponsorship of health products” nang walang otorisasyon mula sa FDA.

Hindi rin umano dumaan sa evaluation process ng FDA ang natu­rang uncertified medical device kaya hindi naga­garantiyahan ng ahensya ang kalidad at kaligtasan sa paggamit nito.

Isinasaad pa ng FDA Circular No. 2016-016 na may titulong “Prohibition of Online Selling of FDA Certified Covid-19 Antibody Test Kits” na ipinagbabawal din ang online selling at commercial use ng naturang produkto.
