The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is recalling more than two million COVID-19 rapid tests made by Australian company Ellume.
The test was believed to be a game changer because it comes with a nasal swab analyzer that connects to an app on users’ smartphones and can provide results within 15 minutes.
But in an announcement issued on Wednesday, the federal agency said a manufacturing issue was causing tests to return false positives, meaning people are told they have COVID-19 when they actually do not.
