FDA Grants EUA to Wondfo's WELLlife™ COVID-19/Influenza A&B Test Supported by DCN Dx Clinical Research

CARLSBAD, Calif., May 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- DCN Dx, a leading contract research organization for in vitro diagnostics, today acknowledges the FDA's Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) of the WELLlife™ COVID-19/Influenza A&B Test, developed by Wondfo USA. This important authorization will enable healthcare professionals to differentiate rapidly between COVID-19 and influenza infections, enhancing patient care at the point-of-care.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADx®) Tech program established the Independent Test Assessment Program (ITAP) to accelerate regulatory review and availability of high-quality, accurate, and reliable diagnostic tests. Through the NIH ITAP program, Wondfo USA collaborated with DCN Dx to conduct performance and clinical validation within the United States.

"We extend our congratulations to the Wondfo USA team on achieving FDA EUA for the WELLlife™ test," said Pat Vaughan, Chief Operating Officer at DCN Dx. "Their dedication and expertise have culminated in a crucial tool that will positively impact healthcare."

"Our role in the clinical research for the WELLlife™ test exemplifies our commitment to supporting the development and commercialization of important diagnostics," said Emily Friedland, VP of Clinical Research. "We are proud to have supported Wondfo USA in the clinical research and validation stages that were crucial for achieving FDA EUA."

The WELLlife™ test, developed by Wondfo USA, allows for the qualitative detection and differentiation of influenza A, influenza B, and SARS-CoV-2 using anterior nasal samples. This rapid diagnostic capability is vital for managing and treating respiratory virus infections, which often present with similar symptoms.
