WASHINGTON, Aug. 26 (UPI) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration say it has approved the emergency use of a new test to detect H1N1 influenza virus in troops serving overseas.
The FDA said its Emergency Use Authorization allows the Department of Defense to distribute the test to qualified laboratories that have the required equipment and trained personnel to perform the test and interpret its results. An EUA authorizes the use of unapproved medical products or unapproved uses of approved medical products during a declared public health emergency.
"The FDA worked quickly with the Defense Department to authorize the use of this test to better protect our troops. The test will aid in more rapid diagnosis of 2009 H1N1 influenza infections so that deployed troops can quickly begin appropriate medical treatment," Dr. Margaret Hamburg, the FDA commissioner, said.
