FDA has publicly posted a list of antibody tests that are being removed from the “notification list” of tests being offered under the guidance on Covid-19 tests during the public health emergency. An agency [statement](https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/coronavirus-covid-19-update-fda-provides-promised-transparency-antibody-tests?utm%5Fcampaign=052120%5FPR%5FCoronavirus%20%28COVID-19%29%20Update%3A%20FDA%20Provides%20Promised%20Transparency%20for%20Antibody%20Tests&utm%5Fmedium=email&utm%5Fsource=Eloqua) (with links to removal list and applicable guidance) says that antibody tests on the new removal list include those voluntarily withdrawn from the notification list by the test’s commercial manufacturer and those for which there is no pending emergency use authorization request or issued authorization.

FDA expects that the tests on the removal list will not be marketed or distributed, the statement says. “Our action today is an important step the agency has taken to ensure that Americans have access to trustworthy tests,” said FDA commissioner **Stephen Hahn**. “We have seen a high level of collaboration and encouragement from developers who want to get this right, and we continue to be available to work extensively with industry to help them with developing accurate tests for the public.”

The agency expects to continue to update the removal list.
