Regulation of diagnostic test kits
In general, if a given diagnostic product contains all materials needed to run a particular test, including instructions on interpretation of results, and if the intent of the manufacturer is to provide a self-contained, point-of-care product, such an application may be considered a diagnostic kit, and is under regulation by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Center for Veterinary Biologics.
