Laboratory Developed Tests: Challenges and Opportunities
Instructor:
Todd Graham
Product ID: 705973
Training Level: Basic to Intermediate
- Duration: 60 Min
Why Should You Attend:
Laboratory Developed Tests have long been popular tests to perform in clinical diagnostics. These tests can offer unique insights not available using standard diagnostic kits and can offer patients opportunities to improve their health. Historically, the US FDA has used regulatory discretion to not regulate the use of these tests so long as they were performed by qualified personnel. However, changes in both technology and the business of laboratory developed tests have changed the FDA’s perspective with these tests and the regulatory approach therein.
Learning Objectives:
- What is the legal definition of a laboratory developed test?
- How will FDA regulations around these tests change?
- How will validation of these tests change?
- What is needed for a successful validation of a LDT under the new regime?
- What concerns need to be addressed as a part of test development?
- How can you turn compliance into a key asset for your test?
Who Will Benefit:
- Bench Scientists
- Quality Assurance
- Medical Technologists
- Business Development
