Reason

Instructions for use in the package insert for SARS Antigen FIA test were updated to remove all references to a specific viral transport medium product as well as the use of other viral transport media. Use of the specific viral transport medium products may result in False-positive results. Directly testing from specimens (NS or NP swab) is recommended.
