This test was developed, and its performance characteristics determined by Banner Health/Laboratory Sciences of Arizona. It has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and drug Administration (FDA). The FDA has determined that such clearance or approval is not necessary since the laboratory is approved under CLIA for high complexity testing.
