The use of self-administered Covid-19 test kits authorized by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is “essential” to assure the accuracy of the results, according to a Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM) official on Wednesday.

RITM Laboratory Chief Armando Tandoc III stated in a televised public briefing that FDA-approved test kits have been assessed by professionals and come with detailed instructions.

The RITM has taken into account the ease of use of such kits because they are designed for general usage, according to Tandoc.

“Kaya mahalaga na iyong gagamitin na mga kits sa pag-test ay permitted ng FDA (It’s critical that the testing kits we use are FDA-approved),” he continued.

According to Tandoc, the RITM requires manufacturers to submit technical documents about the kits’ performance and validation.

“Kasama rin ang paggamit nito at mga pag-aaral na ginagawa para malaman kung effective ang kit,” he said.

Abbott’s “Panbio Covid-19 Antigen Self-Test,” which will be available in boxes of 1, 4, 10, and 20 tests, and Labnovation’s “SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Test,” which will be available in boxes of 2, 5, and 20 tests, have both been authorized.

Aside from the two approved kits, the FDA has given the RITM approval for 31 other kits.

One manufacturer, according to Tandoc, has submitted technical materials for their assessment.
