The test is authorized to assess the serum, plasma or urine of individuals who meet the CDC’s clinical or epidemiologic criteria for Zike testing.
While the test has not earned FDA approval, the agency will permit the test’s use as long as Zika remains a national public health concern.
The agency previously provided emergency use authorizations for several other Zika diagnostic tests within the past few months to control the spread of the virus.
