Purpose
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers many clinical laboratory tests as Class I and II medical devices and as such reviews and approves tests and methodologies for “In Vitro Diagnostic Use.” Clinical diagnostic tests without FDA approval must meet the performance specifications according to the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendment of 1988 (CLIA).
