DVOT Rapid Antigen Test Kits Recalled for Lack of FDA Authorization
DVOT antigen test kits lack FDA authorization for US sale. Approximately 50,000 unauthorized kits were distributed. Users should discontinue use immediately due to unvalidated safety and accuracy.
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: FDA Class II recall of an unauthorized medical diagnostic device. No adverse events have been reported; however, the lack of FDA authorization means the test kit's safety and accuracy are unvalidated. The use of unvalidated diagnostic tests creates a risk-of-harm situation where false results could lead to incorrect medical decisions.
Plain-English summary
FENG CHUN YUAN MEDICAL EQUIPMENT (SHENZHEN) CO., LTD is recalling approximately 50,000 DVOT SARS-CoV-2 & RSV & MP & ADV & FLU A/B Antigen Combo Test Kits (Model ACT01) because the product has not obtained the necessary authorization to be sold in the United States.
FDA authorization for medical diagnostic devices ensures they meet established standards for safety and accuracy.

All lots of this product distributed in the United States are affected by this recall.
Consumers who have obtained this product should discontinue use immediately and dispose of the kits properly. Healthcare providers who may have stocked these unauthorized test kits should remove them from inventory and cease distribution.
