Tulane university believes in them, it's been nearly three years already. If they're research is funded then their getting close IMO. With the new sense of urgency it will be approved quicker:

In the past, Corgenix has served as a subcontractor to Tulane University for several NIH-funded grants and contracts related to development of diagnostics, vaccines and therapeutics for hemorrhagic fever viruses such as Lassa, Ebola and Marburg. Corgenix currently serves as the principal investigator for the new NIH-funded three-year contract to complete the development of recombinant diagnostic tests for Ebola.

The most recent grant was awarded to Corgenix and members of the Viral Hemorrhagic Fever Consortium (VHFC), a collaboration of academic and industry members headed by Tulane University. The NIH phase II, R44 grant was awarded to Corgenix and VHFC to develop rapid diagnostic tests (RDT) for Ebola, enabling rapid response to public health and bioterrorism threats posed by the deadly virus. Corgenix and the VHFC have previously developed and CE marked the ReLASV® rapid test for the Lassa fever virus.
