heymikey2016 Posted July 31, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Hi- I tried to search for this, but it was too detailed to get results. If you recently ordered the Binax (proctored) 3-pack, what was the expiration date? We are cruising at the end of January 2023, and I'm just trying to get a feel of when I should order. Thanks!

Rare ColeThornton Posted July 31, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Will you even need testing kits by then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Carolyn Posted July 31, 2022 #3 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Any information out there now on this will likely change. I would wait till at least December to start worrying about this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are all mostly expired. Companies are sitting on millions as people aren’t testing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamaone Posted July 31, 2022 #5 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Most test expiration dates have been extended. Binax is the first 2 listed. 15 month extension. https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/coronavirus-covid-19-and-medical-devices/home-otc-covid-19-diagnostic-tests#list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being honest, I don’t really care. I just need a negative test to get on my cruise. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they made the tests they didn't know how long they would be effective and so were conservative. As the tests have been out longer and they have a better idea as to their longevity they can adjust expiration dates. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
