Siemens Healthineers AG said late Wednesday that its Covid-19
rapid self-test has been cleared for use in the U.S. and should be
available there beginning next month.
The German medical-equipment maker said its nasal antigen
Clinitest was granted emergency-use authorization by the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration.
The test, which can be bought over the counter and
self-administered, should be available beginning in January, with
production capacity for the U.S. market reaching tens of millions
of tests monthly, Siemens Healthineers said.
