This test received the CE mark in August 2020 under the previous In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices Directive.

Obtaining stringent IVDR approval will ensure continued patient access to testing in the EU after May 2026, when all medical devices must have IVDR approval.

With this approval, individuals residing in the EU and other nations that adhere to EU regulations can have their samples tested at ARUP’s central laboratory located in Salt Lake City.
