Update: Expiration Dates Extended for Three OTC COVID-19 At-Home Tests

Extended Expiration Dates - packaging of the Flowflex COVID-19 Antigen Home Test, InteliSwab COVID-19 Rapid Test, and OHC COVID-19 Antigen Self Test

The following OTC COVID-19 at-home tests now have longer shelf lives than previously authorized:

OHC COVID-19 Antigen Self Test (OSANG LLC)
Flowflex COVID-19 Antigen Home Test (ACON Laboratories, Inc.)
InteliSwab COVID-19 Rapid Test (OraSure Technologies, Inc.)

The expiration dates for these tests have been extended to reflect the longer shelf-life. The extensions are based on additional data provided by the manufacturers showing how long the tests can be used with the same expected accuracy.
