The Jan. 28 warning applies to CovClear COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test and the ImmunoPass COVID-19 Neutralizing Antibody Rapid Test. 

Neither test has been authorized, cleared or approved by the FDA for use in the U.S. Empowered Diagnostics, the tests’ maker, issued a Class I recall for the tests, the most serious type. 

The FDA said clinicians should consider retesting any patients given either rapid diagnostic test less than two weeks ago due to the risk of false results.
