[quickvue at-home otc covid-19 test] use for covid-19 under emergency use authorization (eua): failure to meet performance specifications (including labeling claims) or failure to perform as intended - medical devices.
Test purchased recently with expiration date of june 2023.
The patient is my wife.
I am emeritus professor of medicine at (b)(6) college of medicine.
We had a recent possible exposure to someone with symptomatic covid; tested negative with binax test at 24 hours.
My wife was asymptomatic.
Re-tested with quickvue as above 5 days later.
Result: positive.
I, 72 years old, asymptomatic, also tested neg with binax at 24 hrs, on retest at 5 days, quickvue, same box, tested positive.
That same day i repeated rat (rapid antigen test) with binax, it was neg.
We both had pcr nasal swabs 5 hrs later.
Both pcr tests negative.
Hence the quickvue test for both of us was a false positive.
