 In order to remain commercially viable - Personalized Medicine Programs providing omics testing services must use appropriate regulatory approved & validated omic testing devices whether results are used to evaluate tumor response, diagnose & treat, evaluate drug response, bioavalibility or biomimetic characteristics.

This means omic medical device manufacturing facilities must adhere to strict quality regulations & GxP manufacturing best practices. 

In the US Omics medical devices & accompanying equipment are regulated by the FDA.  This resource page will be dedicated to identifying & listing
Global Medical Omics Device Regulations, Requirements, Standards & Best Practices not only for the devices themselves, but for the collection, data storage & reporting of patient omic data.

What Organizations or Programs are Implementing Proficiency Testing Programs for Omics Testing & What Standards have these Programs Established?


Under CLIA, each laboratory performing nonwaived omics testing must enroll in one CMS approved proficiency testing program for each specialty, subspecialty, and analyte specified in Subpart I of the CLIA regulations. Molecular testing laboratories are still required to participate in equivalent activity such as exchanges of materials with other laboratories. Refer to relevant
sections in CLIA 42 CFR 493.1236(c) 

The College of American Pathologists (CAP) and the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) jointly administer a proficiency testing scheme.
