Dear Mr Evans,
Thank you for your email of 17 June 2021 in which you requested as follows:
The decision taken to extend the use of the Innova LFT test requires the publication of all the data supporting your decision - please provide me with that data.
We have fully examined the concerns raised by the FDA and?their applicability to the products being supplied by NHS Test and Trace in the UK. Following our normal process to investigate any product concern, the MHRA immediately began reviewing all available information. A full risk assessment was undertaken by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) as a legal manufacturer of the lateral flow devices in the UK and the MHRA were satisfied with the assessment and any action proposed.
Further information can be found on our website: Following a satisfactory review, MHRA extends authorisation of NHS Test and Trace lateral flow devices - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
You may be aware that DHSC/Test and Trace have published data on test performance https://lnkd.in/g4BifVZ
