FDA At-Home COVID-19 Diagnostic Tests:
 Frequently Asked Questions

 19-diagnostic-tests-frequently-asked-questions

Q: Can I use an authorized at-home COVID-19 diagnostic test if it was left outside in freezing temperatures?
(1/22/22)
A: Since shipping conditions may vary, test developers perform stability testing to ensure that the test
performance will remain stable when tests are stored at various temperatures, including shipping during the
summer in very hot regions and in the winter in very cold regions.
However, test performance may be impacted if the test is used while it is still cold, such as being used
outdoors in freezing temperatures or being used immediately after being brought inside from freezing
temperatures. The stated performance generally assumes the test is being performed in an environment that
is between 15-30⁰C (approximately 59-86⁰F). The specific conditions that were validated are included in the
authorized Instructions for Use for each test.
In order to ensure appropriate test performance with a test that is delivered to you in below freezing
temperatures, you should bring the package inside your home and leave it unopened at room temperature
for at least two hours before opening it. Once the package is at room temperature, you may open it and
perform the test according to the authorized instructions for use. As long as the test line(s) appear as
described in the instructions, you can be confident that the test is performing as it should. If the line(s) do not
appear in the correct location(s) and within the correct time as shown in the test instructions when you
perform the test, then the results may not be accurate, and a new test is needed to get an accurate result.
