CoViPoint COVID Test Kits Distributed Without FDA Approval or Clearance

GS Biomark LLC distributed approximately 639,200 CoViPoint COVID test kits without FDA approval, clearance, or authorization across multiple US states.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II medical device distributed without FDA approval or clearance. As an unapproved diagnostic device, it constitutes a risk-of-harm product. The source material does not report any illnesses or injuries, so the severity is 3 per the rubric criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Approximately 639,200 CoViPoint COVID test kits (MultiPLEX/Direct) manufactured by GS Biomark LLC were distributed without required FDA approval, clearance, or authorization. These kits were distributed to healthcare facilities and distributors across multiple US states including Texas, New York, Georgia, Indiana, Maryland, California, Pennsylvania, Washington, D.C., New Jersey, Oregon, and Washington.

The recall was initiated because the test kits were distributed without obtaining FDA approval, clearance, or emergency use authorization. This means the FDA had not evaluated whether these test kits are safe and effective for their intended use.
