So while, as Ian tweeted earlier, you don't need an RNA test kit to do an RNA extraction (https://twitter.com/allmeasures/status/1238089400296202243 …) if you gave patients a COVID-19 test based on the "old-fashioned" phenol/chloroform RNA extraction method, that wouldn't be automatically approved.

I'm struggling to figure out what would happen, concretely, to a doctor who tested patients with unapproved tests, or a laboratory that provided them. (Fines? Loss of license? what are the penalties here?)
