Background CLIA requires that clinical laboratories obtain a certificate from the Secretary of Health and Human Services (the Secretary) before accepting materials derived from the human body for laboratory tests (42 U.S.C. 263(b)). Laboratories that perform only tests that are ‘‘simple’’ and that have an ‘‘insignificant risk of an erroneous result’’ may obtain a certificate of waiver (42 U.S.C. 263a(c)(2)). The Secretary has delegated to FDA the authority to determine under CLIA whether particular tests (waived tests) are ‘‘simple’’ and have ‘‘an insignificant risk of an erroneous result’’ (69 FR 22849, April 27, 2004). This guidance describes recommendations for device manufacturers seeking to submit information (CLIA waiver application) to FDA to support a determination that a cleared or approved in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device meets this CLIA waiver standard. In the guidance document, FDA recommends an approach for manufacturers to demonstrate in a CLIA waiver application that a device is simple and has an insignificant risk of erroneous result as required under CLIA (42 U.S.C. 263a). FDA based the recommendations in the guidance E:\FR\FM\30JAN1.SGM 30JAN1
