Research and Markets: How to get a CLIA Waiver for your Medical Device: One and a Half Day In-person Seminar 26th-27th February 2015 in San Diego, CA


Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/8z7wnj/how_to_get_a_clia) has announced the addition of the "How to get a CLIA Waiver for your Medical Device: One and a Half Day In-person Seminar 2015" conference to their offering.

Location : San Diego, CA (News - Alert). Thursday, February 26, 2015 - Friday, February 27, 2015.

FDA has granted precious few applications for waiver since their CLIA Waiver guidance was published on January 30, 2008. Between 2008 and 2012, FDA reviewed 34 applications for CLIA Waiver and approved 14, sometimes taking years to issue a denial. The cost of performing CLIA Waiver studies, combined with the lengthy review times and likelihood of failure, has discouraged companies from bringing new innovations to this critical public health sector.

With the CLIA Waiver guidance appearing to be so prescriptive, why has denial dominated the review outcome?

- Know how to submit a CLIA Waiver application that conforms to FDA's CLIA Waiver guidance.
