PCR tests not approved by FDA - Still under EUA
"Influenza A and B. We just aren't testing for it I assume. The copied text below is on page 30 of the insert for easier reading. Also, I'm not sure why people aren't talking about it but, all of these PCR tests ARE NOT APPROVED BY THE FDA. They are still under the EUA."
Page 30 of an insert states:
Cross-reactivity
In silico analysis
The in silico analysis for possible cross-reactions with all the organisms listed in Table 17 was conducted by mapping
primers in cobas® SARS-CoV-2 individually to the sequences downloaded from NCBI and GISAID databases. If any two
of the primers were mapped to a sequence on opposite strands with short distance apart, potential amplifications were
flagged. No potential unintended cross reactivity is expected based on this in silico analysis.

STRAIN - FLU A & FLU B
IN SILICO ANALYSIS FOR % IDENTITY TO TARGET 1 (nCoV) - no alignment found
INSILICO ANALYSIS FOR % IDENTITY TO TARGET 2 (Pan-Sarbecovirus 1) - no alignment was found
