INNOVA SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Tests Recalled for Unauthorized Non-Clinical Distribution

INNOVA Medical Group is recalling SARS-CoV-2 antigen rapid test kits distributed to customers not enrolled in an authorized clinical investigation.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: FDA Class I recall classification requires a minimum severity score of 4 per rubric rules. Although the recall is for unauthorized distribution (a regulatory compliance violation), no illnesses, injuries, or deaths are reported in the source text, preventing a higher score despite the Class I classification.
