EXTON, Pa., May 24, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Megna Health, a U.S. manufacturer of Rapid COVID Tests based in Exton, Pennsylvania, announced that it has filed a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) EUA (Emergency Use Authorization) extension for Prescription Home Use for its Rapid COVID-19 IgG/IgM Antibody Test and is preparing for product launch. The test is performed in 15 minutes with one drop of fingerstick sample with no additional equipment needed.

Megna Health has already received its Emergency Use Authorization for use in CLIA waived and Point of Care Settings with fingerstick whole blood samples. Designation of Prescription Home Use will be an extension of its current use and require a prescription from a healthcare provider.
