When IVD manufacturers develop new assays, they typically need to perform predicate device studies during the development and validation of new diagnostic tests. A predicate device study involves comparing the performance of a new test to that of a previously approved or cleared device that serves as a reference or "predicate" for the new device. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the new test is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in terms of performance, safety, and effectiveness.
