The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing the availability of a final guidance entitled "Laboratory Developed Tests: Small Entity Compliance Guide." The laboratory developed tests (LDT) final rule amended FDA's regulations to make explicit that in vitro diagnostic products (IVDs) are devices under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) including when the manufacturer of the IVD is a laboratory. This small entity compliance guide (SECG) is intended to help small entities comply with applicable medical device regulations, consistent with the LDT final rule, including the phasing out of FDA's general enforcement discretion approach for LDTs so that IVDs manufactured by a laboratory will generally fall under the same enforcement approach as other IVDs.
