a molecular diagnostics company with a unique, patented platform for the development of molecular diagnostic tests, announced today that,
following a collaborative and informative dialogue with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Company has withdrawn its 510(k)

test for 510(k) clearance.
is pleased with the productive engagement with the FDA related to the initial regulatory submission and with the performance of the test
in clinical evaluations, including performance data and functionality of the instrument.

deterioration of one component of the test, related to shelf-life stability. Following dialogue with the FDA and exploring the various

evaluation data to support the new test's performance. A new submission also allows the Company to incorporate more recent Co-Dx

efficiencies, such as consolidating manufacturing processes to utilize the next generation of test kits and instruments across all tests
on the at-home and point-of-care platform.

ongoing innovations to the PCR Pro instrument. The Co-Dx PCR COVID-19 test is expected to be followed by additional tests for tuberculosis,
upper-respiratory multiplex, and a multiplex HPV test, among others.
