Purpose
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviews and approves tests for “In Vitro Diagnostic Use.” Clinical diagnostic tests that do not have FDA clearance or approval must meet validated performance specifications as required by Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendment of 1988 (CLIA). ARUP includes a statement with the test result when this type of test has been performed.
