FDA Grants EUA to COVID-19 Screening Device ‘Tiger Tech COVID Plus Monitor’ for Asymptomatic People
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an emergency use authorization (EUA) for a screening device that identifies biomarkers that may indicate asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection in people ages 5 and older.
The Tiger Tech COVID Plus Monitor (Tiger Tech Solutions, Inc) is designed for use after a temperature reading indicates no fever in settings where temperature checks are being performed in accordance with federal and local infection prevention and control guidelines, the FDA said.
“Combining use of this new screening device, which can indicate the presence of certain biomarkers, with temperature checks could help identify individuals who may be infected with the virus, thus helping to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in a wide variety of public settings, including healthcare facilities, schools, workplaces, theme parks, stadiums, and airports,” Jeff Shuren, MD, director of the FDA Center for Devices and Radiological Health, said in a statement.
