The Red Cross is using the Ortho Clinical Diagnostics VITROS Anti-SARS-CoV2 Total Test, which is authorized for use by the FDA through their Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) mechanism. An EUA is used by the FDA to allow more timely access to medical products and devices to help respond to a public health crisis and protect the health and safety of the public. At the end of the public health emergency or if the product receives formal FDA approval or clearance, the EUA will be terminated. The phrase FDA-approved is strictly limited to those items that have completed the rigorous FDA trial and review process.
