- New CAP Webinar Series: Understanding the Impact of the FDA’s LDT Risk Classification on Your Laboratory
The CAP is launching a six-part webinar series to help the pathology and laboratory community understand and prepare for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) oversight rules for laboratory-developed tests. The webinar series begins on September 18 and will focus on the FDA risk classification system.
Last April, the FDA released its regulation on the oversight of LDTs, which the CAP opposes and is advocating to stop from going into effect. Laboratories and pathologists—many having never worked with the FDA—now have questions and concerns as they face implementation of the LDT regulations first phase in May 2025.
The first webinar in our series on September 18, Noon-1 PM CT, will help laboratories understand FDA risk classification systems. We will discuss differences in classifications used by the FDA and CLIA, requirements under the FDA risk categories, and what activities the FDA includes in its general and special controls. Our experts will also discuss examples of common tests and how the FDA requirements will apply to them.
Whether you attend live or watch the on-demand recording at a time more convenient for you, register today for the first event in the series and save the dates for the upcoming webinars through July 2025.
