SAN FRANCISCO — In a ringing endorsement of its technology and a counter to its critics, Silicon Valley bio-tech company Theranos announced Thursday that its proprietary blood-testing system has received clearance from the Food and Drug Administration.
The FDA has granted approval to Theranos' finger-stick method and, more specifically, for its testing of the herpes simplex 1 virus.
"In order to realize our vision of early detection, lab tests must meet the highest quality standards, standards that are comprehensively set by FDA," founder Elizabeth Holmes said in a statement.
"FDA review is a uniquely rigorous process we undertook voluntarily because we remain deeply committed to ensuring that our systems and all of our laboratory developed tests are of the highest quality, and that patients and their physicians have access to the most accurate information about their health."
