Abstract: The Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) requires that clinical laboratories obtain a certificate from the Secretary of Health and Human Services before accepting materials derived from the human body for laboratory tests. Laboratories that perform only tests that are "so simple and accurate as to render the likelihood of erroneous results negligible" may obtain a certificate of waiver. The Secretary 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". Device manufacturers will submit to FDA an application for determination that a cleared or approved device meets this CLIA standard (CLIA waiver application).
