What is happening to LDTs?

Starting May 6, 2025, the FDA is changing the definition of regulation 21 CFR 809.3 on IVD products by adding 10 words: in vitro diagnostic products include when the manufacturer of these products is a laboratory. This will impact roughly 12,000 clinical labs that registered to develop and deploy LDTs in 2020. Now, laboratories must follow FDA regulations in addition to CLIA/CMS and other accrediting bodies, such as CAP. This constitutes a heavy lift (and expense) for most laboratories that are not familiar with or accustomed to FDA oversight. Over the next 4-years, the FDA will roll out a 5-stage policy for enforcement of LDTs under medical device law. MediaLab has plans to meet you at each stage and support you through each one during this transition.

MediaLab’s 5-Stage Plan for LDTs

MediaLab by Vastian is the only software company 100% committed to developing a solution that is tailored exclusively to LDTs and the demands it brings. With over 80% of our 5,000 labs impacted by this new change, MediaLab has a deep passion and commitment to be sure each lab has what they need to meet this challenge.

Our solution will be rolled out in stages to align with the FDA’s plan with each MediaLab stage launching well in advance of enforcement, providing adequate time to be ready.
