COVID-19 Update: FDA Authorizes Another Tool to Identify if a Person Had a Previous COVID-19 Infection Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to Adaptive Biotechnologies for its T-Detect COVID Test. The T-Detect COVID Test: - Analyzes DNA from a patient's T cells (white blood cells) to aid in identifying people with an adaptive T cell immune response to SARS-CoV-2, indicating recent or previous SARS-CoV-2 infection.
- Should be used together with a clinical examination and a patient's medical history. Negative results do not rule out acute or current SARS-CoV-2 infection.
- Should not be used to diagnose current SARS-CoV-2 infection.
- Is authorized for use in laboratories designated by Adaptive Biotechnologies Corporation that meet requirements to perform high-complexity tests.
