Because BillionToOne, Inc. notified FDA that it has decided to discontinue distribution of the qSanger-COVID-19 Assay and requested FDA revoke the EUA for the qSanger-COVID-19 Assay, FDA has determined that it is appropriate to protect the public health or safety to revoke this Authorization. FDA received a request dated February 15, 2022, from RTA for the revocation of, and on March 14, 2022, FDA revoked, the Authorization for the Diagnovital SARS-CoV-2 Real-Time PCR Kit. Because RTA notified FDA that the EUA for the Diagnovital SARS-CoV-2 Real-Time PCR Kit is no longer required and requested that FDA revoke the EUA for the Diagnovital SARS-CoV-2 Real-Time PCR Kit, FDA has determined that it is appropriate to protect the public health or safety to revoke this Authorization. On March 10, 2022, FDA received a request from DiaSorin Inc. for the revocation of, and on March 15, 2022, FDA revoked, the Authorization for the DiaSorin LIAISON SARS-CoV-2 IgM Assay. Because DiaSorin Inc. notified FDA that DiaSorin Inc. has decided to discontinue commercial distribution and support of the DiaSorin LIAISON SARS-CoV-2 IgM Assay and requested FDA revoke the EUA for the DiaSorin LIAISON SARS-CoV-2 IgM Assay, FDA has determined that it is appropriate to protect the public health or safety to revoke this Authorization. On March 14, 2022, FDA received a request from CENTOGENE US, LLC. for the revocation of, and on March 17, 2022, FDA revoked, the Authorization for the CentoFast-SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Assay. Because CENTOGENE US, LLC. notified FDA that it does not offer the CentoFast-SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Assay anymore and requested FDA revoke the EUA for the CentoFast-SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Assay, FDA has determined that it is appropriate to protect the public health or safety to revoke this Authorization. On March 14, 2022, FDA received a request from CENTOGENE US, LLC. for the revocation of, and on March 17, 2022, FDA revoked, the Authorization for the CentoSure SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Assay.
