Emergency Use Authorization


Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) information, and list of all current EUAs

Español (/emergency-preparedness-and-response/mcm-legal-regulatory-and-policy-framework/autorizacion-de-uso-de-emergencia)

Skip to list of current EUAs (/emergency-preparedness-and-response/mcm-legal-regulatory-and-policy-framework/emergency-use-authorization#current)

The Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) authority allows FDA to help strengthen the nation’s public health protections against CBRN threats by facilitating the availability and use of MCMs
needed during public health emergencies.

Under section 564 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act (/federal-food-drug-and-cosmetic-act-fdc-act)), the FDA Commissioner may allow unapproved medical products
or unapproved uses of approved medical products to be used in an emergency to diagnose, treat, or prevent serious or life-threatening diseases or conditions caused by CBRN threat agents
when there are no adequate, approved, and available alternatives.

Section 564 of the FD&C Act was amended by the Project Bioshield Act of 2004 (/emergency-preparedness-and-response/mcm-legal-regulatory-and-policy-framework/mcm-related-
counterterrorism-legislation#bioshield) and was further amended by the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Reauthorization Act of 2013 (/emergency-preparedness-and-
response/mcm-legal-regulatory-and-policy-framework/pandemic-and-all-hazards-preparedness-reauthorization-act-2013-pahpra) (PAHPRA), the 21st Century Cures Act (/emergency-

response/mcm-legal-regulatory-and-policy-framework/mcm-related-counterterrorism-legislation#PL11592) of 2017.

In February 2020, FDA issued an Immediately in Effect Guidance on policy for diagnostics testing (/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documents/policy-diagnostic-tests-coronavirus-disease-2019-
during-public-health-emergency) in laboratories certi ed to perform high complexity testing under CLIA prior to Emergency Use Authorization for Coronavirus Disease-2019 during the public health emergency.
For more information, please see the March 6, 2020, Federal Register notice (https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/03/06/2020-04630/policy-for-diagnostics-testing-in-laboratories-certi ed-to-

Questions & Answers


In March 2020, FDA posted FAQs on Diagnostic Testing for SARS-CoV-2 (/medical-devices/emergency-situations-medical-devices/faqs-diagnostic-testing-sars-cov-2).
In January 2014, FDA issued a question and answer document (/media/87718/download) (PDF, 762K) to respond to questions raised by public health stakeholders about PAHPRA’s
amendments to the EUA authority and establishment of new authorities related to the emergency use of MCMs during CBRN emergencies.

Anthrax EUAs
The 2016 FDA Doxycycline Emergency Dispensing Order (/emergency-preparedness-and-response/mcm-legal-regulatory-and-policy-framework/emergency-dispensing-orders#doxy) and CDC Doxycycline
Emergency Use Instructions (EUI) (/emergency-preparedness-and-response/mcm-legal-regulatory-and-policy-framework/emergency-dispensing-orders#doxy) together replace the need for the doxycycline mass
dispensing EUA (issued on July 21, 2011). Therefore, the doxycycline emergency dispensing order and EUI should be used by stakeholders for anthrax preparedness and response instead of the mass
dispensing EUA.

The July 21, 2011, doxycycline mass dispensing EUA, and the October 14, 2011, National Postal Model anthrax EUA will be terminated by FDA, and notice of such termination will be published in the Federal
Register. For additional information, see Emergency Use Authorization--Archived Information (/emergency-preparedness-and-response/mcm-legal-regulatory-and-policy-framework/emergency-use-
authorization-archived-information).

On February 4, 2020, the HHS Secretary determined that there is a public health emergency that has a significant potential to affect national security or the health and security of United
States citizens living abroad, and that involves the virus that causes COVID-19. On the basis of this determination, the Secretary then declared that circumstances exist justifying the
authorization of emergency use of in vitro diagnostics for detection and/or diagnosis of the virus that causes COVID-19.

CDC has granted a right of reference to the performance data contained in CDC’s EUA request (FDA submission number EUA200001) to any entity seeking an FDA EUA for a COVID-19
diagnostic device.

On February 29, 2020, the FDA issued an immediately in effect guidance (/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documents/policy-diagnostic-tests-coronavirus-disease-2019-
during-public-health-emergency) with policy specific to this public health emergency. The templates for these EUA submissions are available:

“Accelerated” Template for Laboratories Certified to Perform High-Complexity Testing Under CLIA: EUA Template (/media/135658/download) (updated March 6, 2020)
Test Kit Manufacturer: EUA Template (/media/135900/download) (updated March 12, 2020)

02/04/2020 Emergency Use Authorization | FDA
Please note: A determination under section 319 of the Public Health Service Act that a public health emergency exists, such as the one issued on January 31, 2020
(https://www.phe.gov/emergency/news/healthactions/phe/Pages/2019-nCoV.aspx), does not enable FDA to issue Emergency Use Authorizations. A separate determination and
declaration are needed under section 564 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to enable FDA to issue Emergency Use Authorizations, provided other statutory criteria are met.

For more information on the Emergency Use Authorizations listed below (https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/emergency-situations-medical-devices/emergency-use-
authorizations#coronavirus2019), see Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Emergency Use Authorizations for Medical Devices.

High Complexity Molecular-Based Laboratory Developed Tests


On March 31, 2020, the FDA concluded based on the totality of scientific evidence available that molecular-based laboratory developed tests (LDTs) that are authorized for use by the
singular developing laboratory are appropriate to protect the public health or safety (as described under the Scope of Authorization (Section II)) under section 564 of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) (21 U.S.C. § 360bbb-3). Under this EUA, authorized tests are authorized for use in the single laboratory that developed the authorized test and that is
certified under Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA), 42 U.S.C. §263a to perform high complexity tests.

Personal Protective Equipment


On February 4, 2020, the HHS Secretary determined that there is a public health emergency that has a significant potential to affect national security or the health and security of United
States citizens living abroad, and that involves the virus that causes COVID-19. On the basis of this determination, the HHS Secretary declared on March 2, 2020, that circumstances
exist justifying the authorization of emergency use of personal respiratory protective devices during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Manufacturers and strategic stockpilers are able to submit a request to FDA in order to have their products added to the EUA.

For additional information, please see Recent Final Medical Device Guidance Documents (/medical-devices/guidance-documents-medical-devices-and-radiation-emitting-

Other Medical Devices


In continuing response to the COVID-19 pandemic, on March 24, 2020, and based on the February 4, 2020 HHS EUA determination, the HHS Secretary declared that circumstances
exist justifying the authorization of emergency use of medical devices, including alternative products used as medical devices, due to shortages during the COVID-19 outbreak.

On March 28, 2020, FDA issued an EUA to allow hydroxychloroquine sulfate and chloroquine phosphate products donated to the Strategic National Stockpile
(https://www.phe.gov/about/sns/Pages/default.aspx) (SNS) to be distributed and used for certain hospitalized patients with COVID-19. These drugs will be distributed from the SNS to
states for doctors to prescribe to adolescent and adult patients hospitalized with COVID-19, as appropriate, when a clinical trial is not available or feasible. The EUA requires that fact
sheets that provide important information about using chloroquine phosphate and hydroxychloroquine sulfate in treating COVID-19 be made available to health care providers and
patients, including the known risks and drug interactions. The SNS, managed by ASPR, will work with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to ship donated doses to
states. De 28 de março até o presente momento no mundo é o único protocolo terapeutico aprovado em carater de emergencia para combate da doença. As seções acima não
trabalham o combate direto da doença. Acima há apenas liberaçoes de dos Kits de Teste para doença, dos EPIs que protegem e dos equipamentos (ventiladores etc..)

Ebola Diagnostic Tests with De Novo, 510(k) or PMA


OraQuickEbola Rapid Antigen Test (https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfPMN/denovo.cfm?ID=DEN190025)- On October 10, 2019, FDA allowed marketing
(https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/cdrh_docs/pdf19/DEN190025.pdf) (PDF, 255 KB) of a rapid diagnostic test (RDT) to detect Ebola virus antigens (proteins) in human blood from certain living individuals
and samples from certain recently deceased individuals suspected to have died from Ebola (cadaveric oral uid). The OraQuick Ebola Rapid Antigen Test is the rst rapid diagnostic test the FDA has
allowed to be marketed in the U.S. for Ebola virus disease (EVD). The test provides a rapid, presumptive diagnosis that must be con rmed. Also see the FDA news release: FDA allows marketing of rst
rapid diagnostic test for detecting Ebola virus antigens (/news-events/press-announcements/fda-allows-marketing- rst-rapid-diagnostic-test-detecting-ebola-virus-antigens)

The OraQuick Ebola Test was reviewed under the De Novo premarket review pathway (/medical-devices/premarket-submissions/de-novo-classi cation-request), a regulatory pathway for low-to-moderate-
risk devices of a new type. Along with this marketing authorization, the FDA is establishing criteria, called special controls, that determine the requirements for demonstrating accuracy, reliability and
effectiveness of tests intended to identify Ebola virus antigens. These special controls, when met along with general controls, provide a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness for tests of this
type. This action also creates a new regulatory classi cation, which means that subsequent devices of the same type with the same intended use may go through the FDA’s 510(k) pathway, whereby
devices can obtain clearance by demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device.
