The CDC’s Influenza A/H7 (Eurasian Lineage) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Assay has received Emergency Use Authorization for detection in patient specimens of the novel influenza A (H7/N9) virus and not for the diagnosis of any other viruses or pathogens. The CDC A/H7 Assay has not been FDA cleared or approved, nor has FDA determined, as permitted under section 564(m) of the Act, that this test may be performed in settings with certificates of waiver under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA), 42 U.S.C. §263a. The CDC A/H7 Assay is only authorized for the duration of the declaration of emergency under section 564(b)(1) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, 21 U.S.C § 360bbb-#(b)(1), unless the authorization is revoked sooner and the declaration of emergency will terminate when the HHS Secretary determines that the circumstances of a significant potential for a public health emergency have ceased to exist or when there is a change in the approval status of the CDC A/H7 Assay such that the authorization of emergency use is no longer needed, whichever occurs earlier.
