Further Binax Now Expiration Extensions?

[Starry Eyes]

I see in the news that the FDA has extended the expiration date of (at least some) BinaxNow Ag Card to 15 months.  Does anybody know if this includes the emed test kits?  I have some that were set to expire soon and wonder if they now have an additional 3 months.

 

Here is a link to a news article with the FDA letter.  I have not seen a new list of lot numbers with exp dates since this announcement.  Has anybody else seen one?

Thanks for posting this, I hadn't seen that news.   The kits sold by eMed.com are the BinaxNow Covid-19 Ag Cards.

 

Here's the Jan. 7, 2022 FDA letter approving the extension given additional shelf-life data studies, as well as a non-video news article about this.

I hope that Abbott releases the affected Lot numbers showing the new extension dates.

Please post if/when you find  Abbott's new list. Thank you.
