Device Use
The Woodside Acquisitions Inc Oral Rapid SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Test Kit and the Joysbio SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Rapid Test Kit (Colloidal Gold) use patient samples to detect proteins, called antigens, found on the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The samples are collected using a nasal swab.
Reason for Recall
Woodside Acquisitions Inc. is recalling these tests because they were distributed to U.S. customers without authorization, clearance, or approval from the FDA.

If you use the affected product, this may cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
Woodside Acquisitions Inc. has received no complaints or reports of injuries, deaths, or adverse events.
