I'd like to see the FDA move away from approvals like this and just focus on lightweight approvals that "the test seems not fraudulent for presenting the false positive rate and false negative rates of the test, and it is indeed better than ransom".
Tests should not return "positive" or "negative", rather something like "3 in 4 chance of infection" of positive and "1 in 200 chance of infection" if negative (something like that). This is both more true and helps people understand statistics/how these tests work, instead of hiding it.
I don't see a safety risk for a test if it has some predictive value unless it is fraud.
There could be a separate threshold for "reimbursability" for insurance reasons.
