In the last edition of ASHI on the Hill, we reported that ASHI became aware of an effort by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to classify HLA, Human Platelet Antigen (HPA), and Human Neutrophil Antigen (HNA) devices into class II, which would subject them to premarket notification requirements of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act). Notably, the Proposed Rule announcing this proposal omitted exemption for laboratory developed tests LDTs. In response to this misguided and problematic effort, ASHI developed and submitted comments opposing finalization of this proposal. Additionally, ASHI organized a comment campaign that resulted in the overwhelming majority of comments on the proposal opposing its finalization. The FDA has not announced any final action as of this writing, but ASHI will keep you apprised of further developments as they transpire. Read More
