FDA is providing a voluntary [EUA template](http://email.prnewswire.com/ls/click?upn=3slWLw94I3jq-2B-2FedjFNgZH-2F-2BdT2Hfvce-2B9YoPQjyr3Onk4v3GNrr72vair-2F1l9WydO0nEiVpO4gQrcg5A9q2ZEQEsW6SRRJwlxTfZQxFhjWUBrMuSd71Iv9NGUZN5G-2FYL3g5oOM5vIaxT7ptjsuuOQ-3D-3Dvd28%5Ff0D7hj0BJ4b-2F7NuVqzPDs7FGiq8VLIwAX0sPSotqoLJejYqb1dmQHyCXe45PgGWVAoRbGcFGHOUPyCDm5Tl5-2Bzf5CO-2Fu1-2FEg9GUJgf2AkSzKmankVdSDNU0sqmjwd5sYLRjJWck5etIfG6uT4RBojoLFTW-2FaCdU4t7Gd42G1eGi5ZWvaURUU2Lq1J9qIeiK0833AYJRZmOQGsa4uGK8q4uknGJRIrtRwyJJhx2CtekLAoVvLSz5hVE9kaEXXEcdGhw7elX4WoOgWKjbEz19v1CJYnsNVsBzgfE24C8OZzPL2W4jUAgtYYlNoL-2BIZ4bmnXhs5C3NLecQkb2JRC7kgWyNiw5etYx3lWKrqydUdTQU-3D&ref=fdaweb.com) for device developers to use for Covid-19 at-home sample collection kits. The template reflects FDA’s current thinking on data and information that they should submit to facilitate the EUA process. In particular, it includes recommendations for use by laboratories and commercial manufacturers who may use it to facilitate the preparation and submission of an EUA request. Currently, developers can offer a Covid-19 test for at-home self-collection under an emergency use authorization, and Covid-19 tests for at-home self-collection may also be used as part of an IRB-approved study.
