May 15, 2020 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing the availability of a final guidance entitled ``Policy for Coronavirus Disease-2019 Tests During the Public Health Emergency.'' On February 4, 2020, the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) determined that there is a public health emergency and that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of emergency use of in vitro diagnostics for detection and/or diagnosis of the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV). Rapid detection of Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) cases in the United States requires wide availability of SARS-CoV-2 testing. This guidance was revised on March 16, 2020, May 4, 2020, and May 11, 2020. The guidance describes four policies intended to help facilitate the development and use of SARS-CoV-2 tests during the public health emergency: Two policies for accelerating the development of certain laboratory tests for COVID-19one leading to an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) submission to FDA and the other not leading to an EUA submission when the test is developed under the authorities of the State in which the laboratory resides and the State takes responsibility for COVID-19 testing by laboratories in its State; a policy for commercial manufacturers to more rapidly distribute their SARS-CoV-2 diagnostics to laboratories for specimen testing after validation while an EUA submission is being prepared for submission to FDA; and a policy regarding the use of serological testing. In addition, FDA has included a reference to the availability, on FDA's website, of templates for commercial manufacturers and laboratories intended to facilitate EUA submissions for molecular, antigen, and serology tests. The guidance document is immediately in effect, but it remains subject to comment in accordance with the Agency's good guidance practices.
