The Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) regulations define waived tests as those that pose no more than a minimal risk to patient health and safety if the tests are performed in accordance with the instructions in the manufacturer's labeling. Waived tests do not require a CLIA certificate for the individual performing the test. Examples of waived tests include certain blood glucose tests, urinalysis, and some types of rapid tests for infectious diseases. It is important to note that even if a test is waived, the individual performing the test must still follow all other applicable state and federal regulations.
