Cue Health said Tuesday that its Covid-19 molecular test has received a De Novo marketing authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Shares climbed 12% to 59 cents in after-hours trading.

The healthcare technology company said its Covid-19 molecular test, which can be used at home or at point-of-care settings, delivers results in 20 minutes to connected mobile smart devices. Covid-19 molecular tests detect genetic material called RNA from the virus.

A De Novo request gives a marketing pathway to classify new medical devices for which certain controls provide reasonable assurances of safety and effectiveness.
