This draft guidance is intended to facilitate the movement of new IVD technology from the investigational stage to the marketing stage by providing information about the development and conduct of IVD studies that will be submitted to the agency to support premarket notifications and applications. Because many IVD studies are exempt from most of the IDE regulations at part 812 (21 CFR part 812) (§ 812.2(c)(3)), both industry sponsors and FDA staff often have questions concerning the relevant requirements and appropriate methods for such studies. This draft guidance provides information about such studies as well as general information about the development, conduct, and responsibilities associated with all IVD studies. The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) and the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) both have regulatory oversight of IVD devices. Information in this draft guidance is relevant to IVD devices regulated by either center under subchapter H of 21 CFR Chapter I.
This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when finalized, will represent the agency's current thinking on IVD device studies. It does not create or confer any rights for or on any person and does not operate to bind FDA or the public. An alternative approach may be used if such approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statute and regulations.
