UMI has notified the FDA that it has stopped all operations and is no longer providing support for its tests. The FDA is not able to confirm the performance of UMI’s tests, raising concerns that the tests may not be safe and effective.
Tests have been sold online to consumers by at least four distributors:
AC&C Distribution, LLC.
HealthyWiser
Home Health US Inc.
Prestige Biotech Inc.
These tests were distributed under the brand names of those distributors, and tests may not have identified UMI as the manufacturer. These tests may also have been distributed by other distributors.
