I suspect Switch Health is simply remarketing that kit. Perhaps someone can post a picture of the contents of the switch health box. I just purchased a box and was planning on using it in March for a Royal Cruise from Bayonne. Now I'm second guessing the purchase even though some say they have used it for Royal. Here is was I got... SD Biosensor Standard Q Covid-19 Ag Test The expiry date is 06/06/2023 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you review the documentation on the FDA website, you'll discover that the EUA was granted for SD Biosensor's non-proctored self test kit that is similar to the ones being given out in Ontario. Health Canada, on the other hand, has approved both the proctored and non-proctored test kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I understand correctly that the kit pictured the post of @LouTheGlue is not the one given FDA emergency use authorization? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming that the kit that @LouTheGlue pictured is the proctored test sold by Switch Health, then it is not the one that the FDA gave an EUA to. The latter is the "COVID-19 At-Home Test" and is non-proctored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Created my account planning on testing before trip in March. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
