Universal Meditech

Universal Meditech was a medical diagnostics company that manufactured and distributed various in vitro diagnostic test kits. The company's product portfolio included rapid tests for COVID-19, pregnancy, and ovulation, which were marketed under various brand names. In 2023, the company became the subject of intense federal and state investigations after an unlicensed laboratory facility in Reedley, California, was discovered to be storing infectious agents and biohazardous materials. Consequently, the company ceased operations, and the FDA issued recalls for several of its diagnostic products due to a lack of proper clearance and safety concerns.
