COVID-19 Device Clinical Trial Background
The FDA closely monitors all drugs and medical devices sold in the United States to protect the user from dangerous or misleading products. With the emergence of COVID-19 in 2020, medical companies across the globe rushed to help reduce the spread of the virus by developing drugs, vaccines, and testing kits to detect the virus. Unfortunately, the testing kits that are used to detect the virus are not perfect, so the FDA is always pushing companies to improve their testing accuracy in order to be sold in the United States. In order to get FDA approval (or an Emergency Use Authorization) to sell COVID-19 testing kits, the testing kits must go through clinical trials to verify the accuracy on volunteers like you!
Koch Family Medicine has worked with a number of companies that develop COVID-19 testing kits to help bring in volunteers to try their COVID-19 testing kits and gather data to show how accurate the tests are. As of November 2022, we have helped on 20 different COVID-19 clinical trials and have enrolled more than 3000 patients in these trials.
New testing kits are being developed all the time to try to get more accurate results and to adapt to the new COVID-19 variants, so we are always looking for volunteers to help on new studies (even if you have participated in one of our previous studies).
