Gravity Diagnostics COVID-19 Assay. Notice of the issuance of this 
Authorization was published in the Federal Register on November 20, 
2020 (85 FR 74346), as required by section 564(h)(1) of the FD&C Act. 
On August 21, 2020, FDA issued an EUA to Guardant for the Guardant-19.

FD&C Act. The authorization of a device for emergency use under section 
564 of the FD&C Act may, pursuant to section 564(g)(2) of the FD&C Act, 
be revoked when the criteria under section 564(c) of the FD&C Act for 
issuance of such authorization are no longer met (section 564(g)(2)(B) 
of the FD&C Act), or other circumstances make such revocation 
appropriate to protect the public health or safety (section

the revocation of, and on July 21, 2021, FDA revoked, the Authorization 
for the Gravity Diagnostics COVID-19 Assay. Because Gravity notified 
FDA that it is no longer using the Gravity Diagnostics COVID-19 Assay 
and requested FDA revoke the Authorization, FDA has determined that it 
is appropriate to protect the public health or safety to revoke this 
Authorization. On July 29, 2021, Matmacorp requested the revocation of,
