What did AnteoTech announce?
AnteoTech informed the market it had heard from the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) on its SARS CoV (COVID-19) rapid antigen test and Eugeni reader platform.
The TGA has asked AnteoTech to review how its diagnostic test will cover COVID-19 variants.
The regulatory body has also requested that AnteoTech update the TGA on how it plans to monitor for new strains of the virus.
The company says it will also need to provide an update on other technical and performance details.

Today, the company said it was working to provide the TGA with additional information as quickly as possible.
