My sister runs a hospital lab and sent us a bunch of expired rapid tests when my mom tested positive and we couldn't find any more tests at local stores. They were exactly the same as the home tests you get at the store, just packaged differently. My sister must have known they were still reliable but I never asked per specifically how far past the expired date would be a problem.
