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.
