USFDA clears simple saliva test for rapid detection of COVID-19
US Food and Drugs Administration Commissioner Stephen Hahn said a new saliva test recently removed for emergency use would increase efficiency and avoid shortages of critical test components such as reagents.
Providing this type of flexibility to process saliva samples to test for COVID-19 infection is serious in terms of efficiency and to avoid a shortage of critical test components such as reagents, he said in a statement.
The agency has previously authorized four other tests that use saliva for sampling, but these give different results.
The US has suffered from an inconsistent strategy for virus detection, thanks in part to frequent reductions and the use of various tests that sometimes yield incredible results.
The new method, called salivadirect, is being further validated by the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a test for salivary indirect individuals through a program that tests players and employees.
SalivaDirect is simpler, less expensive, and less invasive than conventional testing known as nasopharyngeal (NP) swabbing.
Results so far have found that saliva is highly indirectly sensitive and gives results similar to NP swabbing.
