One of the self-test kits was thePanbio COVID-19 antigen self-test from Abbot which will be available in 1, 4, 10, or 20 tests per box. Meanwhile, he also reported that from March 2020 to Jan. 24, 2022 a total of 86 antigen test kits were banned for sale after failing to pass the post-market surveillance and product monitoring. He added the FDA was able to seize last week 50,000 test kits and 70,000 boxes of fake medicine and antigen tests in Manila.

Gutierrez has said that once the product such as the self-test kit which was given special certification reaches the market, they still conduct continuous monitoring, wherein they collect samples and send them back to the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine to test them for actual use.
